Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to create a custom engagement ring?
Custom engagement rings typically take 4-6 weeks from design approval to completion. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee.
What is the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds?
Both are real diamonds with identical physical and chemical properties. Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years underground, while lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments. Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 30-50% less.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options through Affirm, allowing you to pay over time with transparent terms and no hidden fees.
Can I see rings in person before purchasing?
Absolutely! We offer private appointments at our showroom where you can view samples, try on styles, and work directly with a designer.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy for ready-to-ship pieces. Custom pieces are made specifically for you and are non-returnable, but we offer a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship.
