frequently asked questions
orders
We choose to make all our pieces to order. Please note that there can be small differences in appearances compared to the pictures on the website.
Every piece is unique. When working with natural stones, it is normal to have slight variations in the shape, color and inclusions.
Make sure to double check your ringsize before placing your order. Use our size guide or book a free atelier visit to get your measurements.
size guide
We get a lot of questions on how to find the perfect fit, an important and often confusing part of the jewellery process. You don't want your ring flying off while you're dancing, but you also don’t want your ring so tight that it cuts off your circulation on a hot summer day.
The thickness of your fingers fluctuates with temperature, exercise and time of the month. Some people have bony fingers, others don’t. Make sure that when measuring your ring size, you take the knuckle into account.
Nothing beats getting your ring size measured by a professional. Feel free to pass by our atelier. If that is too far, find a friendly jeweler in the neighborhood who can check your ring size.
If this is not an option, find an existing ring with a similar width that fits on the correct finger and measure its inner diameter. Check the size guide to find the matching right size.
If it is a surprise ring, get in touch so we can discuss some options to organize a sneaky size reading.
In most cases rings can be resized, but we obviously want to get as close as possible so we avoid putting the ring under too much stress.
