Frequently asked questions

Can I have this piece made with a custom stone, or different metal?

Possibly! Message me with what you're looking for, and I can give you a quote. Not all stones are possible with some of my designs, so it's good to ask! I do not use customer provided gemstones or gold.

I work in sterling silver, 10kt, 14kt and 18kt yellow, white, and rose gold. Any of my designs can be made in these materials!

How do I find a ring size without spoiling the surprise?

There are not many foolproof ways to sneakily size your partner. Usually the best method is to measure the inner diameter of a ring that fits them (preferably on their ring, middle, or index finger) or bring it to a local jeweler, if you're able.

I do not suggest using printable sizers or apps - most of these end up inaccurate because of printer and screen settings.

When in complete and utter doubt, the average woman has a ring finger between size 7-8.

Will silver turn my skin green?

Sterling silver jewellery is prone to tarnish, and may also discolour the skin of some wearers. Neither of these mean that the metal is "fake", rather it is the presence of copper in the sterling reacting with exposure to humidity, moisture, and the pH of your skin.

The speed at which tarnish happens depends on a few factors, including the skin type of the wearer, climate, and what the jewellery is exposed to. It can occur faster if you shower, swim, use household cleaning solutions without gloves, live in a humid climate, bake (cooked eggs can blacken silver) and use hot tubs without removing your jewellery prior.

How do Payment Plans work?

Payment plans are available for items that cost $500 and upwards. I am happy to break the cost of the item in to a maximum of five payments, which can be paid as frequently as you wish. I do not ship until the final payment has been made.

If you pick more than two payments, I do not order materials or start making your item until the second payment has been made. It is at this point that my turnover time kicks in.

The order can be cancelled at any time, but will only be refunded in full if cancelled before the second payment. Otherwise a 20-30% restocking fee applies for the materials and time I have invested.

This applies to both made to order items, and custom items.
