Timings
As a brand, we pride ourselves on working with quality materials, Australian suppliers and making our pieces to order. This means that we do not hold stock of pieces and your piece will be made to order, completely bespoke to you.
The turnaround time on our engagement rings is currently approximately 8 weeks.
The turnaround time on our wedding rings is 4 weeks for mens bands and 6-8 weeks for womens bands, especially those with diamond settings.
If you require your piece sooner than this we offer a priority service for an additional $300 for engagement rings and an additional $150 for wedding bands.
This service allows us to expedite your piece at every stage to complete your piece in a 4-6 week turnaround time. If you have a sooner time frame than our standard 8 weeks in mind our team will be able to advise if your piece qualifies for our priority service.
Custom Pieces
We have closed our custom designs and remodels for 2022, due to our capacity leading into Christmas.
During this time, we will still be offering all our online pieces including pieces from our Wedding Ring Suite and Engagement Ring suite however customisations to pieces will be limited. There will still be options to customise your piece within this realm with customisations such as;
- Adding hidden gemstones
- Adding a hidden halo
- Customising your stone size
- Adding shoulder stones
- Adding a different material for your claws
All these customisations can also be explored in our Ring Builder.
Stones
At the moment we are currently exclusively working with Lab Grown Diamonds for our pieces. We do not currently work with moissanite, coloured gemstones, pre-purchased stones.
Payment
You are welcome to purchase your piece through the website or ring builder, this is the most affordable way to make your purchase and does require full payment upfront. Alternatively, we can invoice you for the piece which allows you to pay in instalments; a 50% deposit for us to begin production on your piece and then the final upon completion. This does incur a $180 invoicing fee and there is a 2% surcharge if you wish to pay the invoice via credit card.
