Frequently asked questions

Sizing details

During check-out you have to choose an US ring size. If you want to order in another scale, please choose "000" from the drop-down and leave me your size as a note with your order.

I can practically work with every scale in which rings are measured. No matter if EU, UK or US sizes. Inner diameter is fine, too. - BUT make sure it was measured properly by a jeweler or at home by a sliding calliper.
Strings, paper strips or rulers are not exact enough to measure your ring size! I tell you to avoid unnecessary shipping back and forth. Be assured to get exactly the size you order.

Custom and personalised orders

In my "Ready to ship" section you find different models in different sizes which are ready made and ready to ship.
All other listings are made to order. Processing time is 3-4 weeks, then they will be shipped. Dont forget to add estimated shipping time to your area, to know, when your order will actually be with you.
If you need it sooner, please contact me. Depending on needed size and order situation i might be able to speed it up.
For real rush orders im charging 20% of total price.
Expedited shipping takes to - EU 24h, US 48h, AUS 72h. Choose this option during check-out and please, PROVIDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER. Its mandatory, so the carrier can schedule delivery with you.

Payment Plans

Payment plans - No problem! To set up your personal plan I need to know which model and stone you want, the size youd need and what would be a convenient amount for you to pay per installment.
Id apprechiate an initial payment quite soon to confirm your will to purchase. This will be done via custom listing. Convo me for yours.
The other payments will be set up as a reserved listing in the quantity of your installments. You may purchase as many of them as you want whenever you feel like. No interest charged. I will send you a link to your reserved listing, from that one you can purchase over and over until its yours. Your item will be processed as soon as the total price is fully paid. Until then all installments are refundable.

Philosophy and self-understanding

Im a small, highly skilled german business. I value my work and that of others, so i see no point in price dumping at any part of the process or in material. Lower price means lower quality. Always.
What im offering to you is high end jewelry. Its neither thin nor lightweight, even though its dainty.
For a new model im making a prototype from scratch in sterling silver. Means carving skulls, bending and shaping the band, making the settings and a thousand other little steps to bring out a very special ring. This takes around 20-50 hours of work.
All rings are polished by hand, to keep the details. Thats is a time consuming process, which requires professional skills and patience.
Goldsmithing is an ancient craft to make things which last.

How to find out my partner's size without asking?

If you need to find out the size of your partner: Take a ring of similar width as the one you want to buy, which fits him/her and measure its inner diameter by a sliding calliper. Tell me the inner diameter in mm or send a picture. Here you find a picture of how to measure: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n061e1s4bbworke/AABUcDe-wMOWQVxsJ_N1C5cVa?dl=0

Are these real natural stones?

I prefer to work with precious natural gemstones, from which im only using the best quality on the market. Certainly, that is reflected in my prices.
Also my diamonds are all natural. Wherever you read "natural diamond" or "nat dia" its EXACTLY that - natural, conflict free diamonds.
But due to customer request im also offering some imitations. You can easily spot them in listings and variations. If you read "lab diamond/ruby/whatever" then its a man made stone. All others are perfectly natural and real. Im working only with reputable german stone traders.
As diamond imitations im using cubic zirconia for small stones and black moissanite for the big ones.

Expedited Shipping

When you choose "Expedited shipping" during checkout, that means your item will be with you 2-3 workdays (depending on your location) after it is completed. This option has no influence on processing time. It takes usually 3-4 weeks to complete a custom made item. Please, contact me, if you need a made to order item on a specific date. Only items from my "Ready to Ship" section will be with you within 3-4 workdays.
