Diamonds & metals

What’s the difference between a natural and a lab-grown diamond?

Chemically, physically, and optically they’re identical — both are pure crystallised carbon with the same 10/10 hardness and brilliance. The only difference is origin: a lab-grown diamond is created in a controlled environment instead of being mined. We craft exclusively with lab-grown. Why lab-grown →

Are your diamonds ethically sourced?

Yes. Because every diamond we use is lab-grown, there’s no mining — and none of the environmental or human cost that extraction can carry. Read more →

Will a lab-grown diamond test as a real diamond?

Yes — it is a real diamond, so it reads as one on a diamond tester. A “fake” is a simulant like cubic zirconia or moissanite, which is a different material entirely.

What metals do you use?

14k and 18k gold — in yellow, white, and rose — and platinum.

What’s the difference between 14k and 18k gold?

18k contains more pure gold, so it’s a little richer in colour and slightly softer; 14k has a touch more alloy, making it a little more hard-wearing for everyday pieces. Both are excellent choices for fine jewellery.

Choosing & ordering

What are the 4 Cs of a diamond?

Cut, colour, clarity, and carat — the four qualities that define a diamond’s beauty and value. Cut has the biggest effect on sparkle, so it’s usually the one to prioritise. The 4 Cs, explained →

Do you offer diamond grading reports?

Yes — every diamond comes with an independent grading report from GIA, IGI, or GCAL.

How do I determine my ring size?

Use our ring size guide and free printable sizer, or measure the inside diameter of a ring that already fits. Ring size guide →

How should I budget for an engagement ring?

Set a total you’re comfortable with first, then prioritise cut — it drives sparkle more than size. Because lab-grown diamonds carry no rarity premium, your budget typically reaches a larger or finer stone than mined would. Engagement ring guide →

Are your pieces made to order?

Yes — each piece is crafted once you order it, never mass-produced. It’s how we keep quality high and waste low. How made-to-order works →

Can I have my ring resized later?

Most pieces can be resized, and we offer complimentary resizing within the first year. If you’re between sizes, reach out and we’ll help.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes — flexible payment options are available at checkout, so you can spread the cost of your piece over time.

Can I have my ring engraved?

Yes — many pieces can be personalised with engraving. Please note that engraved and personalised items are made uniquely for you, so they’re final sale and aren’t covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee.

Sustainability

What makes your jewellery sustainable?

Several things together: lab-grown diamonds (no mining), made-to-order production (no overstock or waste), responsibly sourced metals, and heirloom-quality craft built to last. Our approach →

Are lab-grown diamonds more sustainable than mined ones?

They require no mining, so they avoid the land disruption and human cost extraction can carry. Why lab-grown →

Do you provide certifications for your diamonds?

Yes — every diamond is independently certified by GIA, IGI, or GCAL, and ships with its report.

Care & maintenance

How do I care for my jewellery?

Take it off for workouts, swimming, and cleaning; store each piece separately; clean it gently; and have it professionally checked about once a year. Full care guide →

Can I clean my diamonds at home?

Yes. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, brush gently — especially under the stone — with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid toothpaste and harsh chemicals. More tips →

How do I keep my gold or platinum looking its best?

Gentle warm-soapy-water cleaning and separate storage go a long way. White gold’s bright finish comes from rhodium plating, which can be refreshed every year or two; platinum develops a soft patina that can be polished back to a shine. Care by material →

Shipping & returns

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes — all orders within the United States are delivered free of charge with standard shipping. For expedited or international options, please contact our team.

What is your return policy?

Most of our pieces come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The one exception is personalised and engraved items — because they’re made uniquely for you, they’re final sale.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Because each piece is made to order, it takes a little longer than off-the-shelf jewellery — you’ll see the expected timeline for your piece before you check out. About made-to-order →

Warranty & authenticity

What does your warranty cover?

Manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery, plus a lifetime guarantee that your lab-grown diamond stays colourless and clear. Full warranty terms →

How do I know my diamond is authentic?

Each diamond ships with its independent GIA, IGI, or GCAL report, and many are laser-inscribed with a number that matches the certificate — so you can verify it’s exactly the stone you chose.

How do I start a repair or warranty claim?

Contact our care team with your order ID, clear photos or a short video, and a brief description. We’ll review it and let you know what’s covered. How it works →
