Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing details

Ring Sizing

Unsure of your ring size? Please select the smallest size when checking out and I will send you a ring sizer in the mail after purchase to confirm your size.

I highly recommend getting a ring sizer from me. Ring sizing starts at $50 and goes up depending on how far they need to go.
Rings with a continuous pattern like the gear rings CANNOT be sized down and will have to remade, my remake fee starts at $100. Most bands with a continuous pattern can only be sized up 1/2-3/4 of a size.
The discounted remake is a one time courtesy for sizing issues only. You will need to contact me within 2 weeks of delivery to have this option and as it is a courtesy it will be at my discretion.

What materials do you work in? What is Palladium White Gold?

We work in sterling silver, 14k rose gold, 14k yellow gold 14k Palladium white gold, 18k rose gold and 18k yellow gold. All of our materials are nickel free.

Most of the white gold that you see in America has nickel as the alloy. 14k gold is about 56% pure gold, the rest is alloy. The Palladium white gold we use is nickel free. Palladium which comes from the platinum family of metals replaces the nickel in the alloy, making it hypoallergenic. Palladium white gold has a gorgeous gray color and we do not plate any of our metals.

Care instructions

We include a polishing cloth with every order. For at home cleanings I recommend using a soft tooth brush and some warm soapy water. I recommend a mild and natural soap like a Dr. Bronners or a Mrs. Meyers. If your ring has stones you want to be sure to clean behind them as well to help them stay extra sparkly.
If you have a high shine silver ring that you want to stay as shiny as possible store it in an air tight container when not wearing it to avoid oxidization.

Packaging

Every piece is shipped in a tan jewelry box with a Vegan leather top. We also include a polishing cloth with every order.
