To ensure you order the correct size ring please follow the guidelines below. We do not offer free resizings or remakes, so be sure you order the correct size! Because each ring is a custom commissioned piece we do not offer refunds. Before ordering, we recommend getting sized by two or three reputable jewelers following our guidelines below for wide and thin rings. Please note that our rings are true to international sizing standards, and our acceptable tolerance on every ring is +/- a tenth of a millimeter.
WIDER RINGS (6mm-10mm wide): We recommend being sized using standard fit rings (not comfort fit) that are the same width as the ring you would like to order from us. Most of our men's rings default to 8mm wide. Please do not use the thin sizing rings that jewelers have as these are not accurate and an actual ring will be tighter (because of added width) than the sizing rings that are used. If possible, get the millimeter measurement of the inside diameter of the ring that fits with a digital caliper. This will always be the most accurate way for us to size rings.
While we use our own method to create comfort of wear on our rings, it is is different than what is referred to as "comfort fit" at most jewelry stores. For this reason, try on standard fit rings. We provide a beveled-cut edge and will thus be more comfortable to the wearer than a typical standard fit ring. Lastly, do not allow a jeweler to give you a size according to a ‘ring-sizing dowel’, as in our experience with the dozen or so dowels we have in our own shop they all measure differently and can vary based on how the jeweler was trained to read it. A ring can be off by a half size or more, depending on the dowel.
THINNER RINGS (1mm-5mm wide): We recommend being sized using rings that are the same width as the ring you will be ordering in, if at all possible. If a matching width is not available at the jewelers we have also found that the thin key ring sizers are accurate for rings made in a 1mm-5mm width. Do not allow a jeweler to give you a size according to a ‘ring-sizing dowel’, as in our experience with the dozen or so dowels we have in our own shop they all measure differently and can vary based on how the jeweler was trained to read it. A ring can be off by a half size or more depending on the dowel.
While we do everything we can to make each ring as durable as possible, they are made using natural and meaningful materials which are more susceptible to damage from impact, chemicals, scratching, and other outside forces than solid metal rings would be.
We are always working to improve the quality and durability of our products and have recently developed a new sealant, which results in a much more water and impact resistant product! This new sealant should protect your ring against damage from water, as long as the sealant remains continuously intact around the entirety of your ring. It should also provide a more secure barrier for the natural materials in your ring from impacts and scratching but cannot be expected to be as strong as a solid metal ring. Though this new sealant provides your ring with an extra level of protection and durability, it does not provide a guarantee or warranty against water damage or breakage due to impact and other forms of abuse. If the design you chose features wood or antler with exposed edges, meaning the outside edges of the ring are not protective metal walls, we would still advise that you remove your ring when coming in contact with water.
WOMEN’S RINGS: Rings that do not contain any crushed turquoise, wood, antler, etc. can be cleaned by simply using warm water and a gently brush to remove anything that may be on the surface. If your ring has prongs securing stone(s) we recommend having a local jeweler check the prongs at least annually to ensure they’re tight and securing the stones!
Our lead time for rings that are made to order is 6 weeks if set in titanium, and 8 weeks for any other metal. Please note that custom commissioned rings always have the possibility of taking longer than our standard 6-8 week lead time. Designing a custom commissioned ring takes time and extra care to ensure we can make the ring you have envisioned come to life. This extra time accounts for sourcing custom stones, new materials, or the custom casting of an original design and the complexity of that design.
Also, please note that the shipping method you select at checkout is not referring to the production time of your order, that is simply choosing how quickly the shipping process will be once the order has shipped.
We do offer a rush service if you need your ring sooner than our standard 6-8 weeks, you can read more about that HERE. Feel free to contact us prior to ordering to verify that your need-by date is possible!
We also have many In-Stock options that can generally ship in as little as 1 week! Click HERE to visit these options
Titanium, black zirconium, and Damascus steel are all pretty equal in durability. Silver is the softest metal so it is more prone to scratching and bending if hit very hard. White gold is very similar in appearance to silver and is the more durable option of the two. Keep in mind that all metals will scratch with normal wear and tear! There is no way to avoid scratches on your ring all together. Our warranty offers 2 “polishes” to remove surface scratches, so that’s a great add on to keep your ring looking great. Below is a picture which displays all the different metal types we offer.
Silver and gold rings can be resized (usually up or down 1 size), however most of our other rings must be rebuilt from scratch if you order in the incorrect size. Please be sure to follow our sizing guidelines exactly to ensure a perfect fit! Read more about our sizing guidelines HERE
For many years salt and pepper diamonds have been seen as undesirable, but more recently are gaining popularity due to their unique colors and characteristics, as well as for being a more budget-friendly option. Salt and pepper diamonds include many different types of flaws, which makes them extremely unique! These flaws can include graining, bearding, clouding, cracks and inclusions, pinpoints, wisps, and even other crystals growing inside the gem. We do not offer free stone replacements for these natural characteristics as they cannot be controlled.
Because salt and pepper diamonds are unique they can be a bit difficult to source the right stone for the right ring. Because of this we cannot guarantee a specific lead time with any salt and pepper ring! Please email us prior to ordering if you to get an estimated lead time.

FOR SOLID METAL RINGS
What Is Covered & Included?
4 Polishes: Using certain tools, we can buff and polish the ring to remove light scratching from the surface of the ring. For black zirconium rings, please be aware it will most likely be completely remade as the scratches will remove the top layer of black, which comes from the fire-treating of the metal. The ring cannot be fire-treated again, so we reserve the right to remake the ring completely.

Yes, we love when people can send in materials that are so meaningful to them! People frequently send us their own antler or wood pieces, and sometimes even things like sand or rocks, to be used in their specific rings, making it all the more special to them. If you would like to do this, you can simply find the ring you want to order and put in the NOTES TO SELLER section at checkout that you have your own [insert material] that you’ll be sending in to be used. We’ll then email you a Materials Form in your order confirmation email to fill out and send in with the material so we know who it belongs to once it arrives!
For wood, we need a 3” x 3” piece that is at least 1/2” thick.
For antler, we need a 2” x 2” piece (circumference and diameter) that is at least 1/2” thick
For most rocks/stones, we need a large marble size stone.
If you have other ideas for custom materials feel free to contact us and we can discuss with the jeweler to see if it’s possible to incorporate as there are limitations on what can be used.
Unfortunately for liability reasons our jeweler does not work with diamonds being sent in to us, he will source his own diamonds. However, we would love to discuss building the perfect ring and sourcing diamonds for you! Contact us for more information and to start building your dream ring.
Absolutely! We are happy to have you send in such a special piece and incorporate it into a new ring. The process for doing this requires us to melt the ring down, and because it is a time-intensive process, and we have to match the specific metal alloys, we do require $200 per ring to do this. Also, please be aware that for gold, whatever karat and gold color that specific ring is, the new ring must match that.
You are always more than welcome to put specific requests like this in the NOTES TO SELLER section at checkout, however keep in mind that we can never guarantee a specific outcome as these materials are natural and cannot be controlled, exactly replicated, etc. We also do our best accommodate special requests, though!
Many of our men’s rings can be made in a narrower width, the limitation on many of them is 6mm. You can request this in the NOTES TO SELLER section during checkout, however if the jeweler cannot do it 6mm wide it will be made in the standard width for that ring. If you’d like to check the minimum width prior to ordering, please feel free to send us a link to the specific ring you’d like and we can verify what width it can be done in.
Yes, we ship all over the world! Basic international shipping begins at $15 for an average of 2 weeks shipping time, but you can purchase upgrade shipping at checkout. We are not responsible for any customs fees that may be due upon delivery of your package. Not all countries will require customs fees, and we have no way of knowing who will or will not be charged.
We do not default to requiring a signature upon delivery for domestic shipping addresses, however there are 3 different shipping options at checkout that have the option to require a signature. For international addresses, we believe typically a signature is required upon delivery, or they will leave you a little slip to go pick up the package in person.
