Frequently Asked Questions

REQUEST SPECIFIC DATE

Our rings are handmade and most take 5 weeks to craft. You can upgrade your shipping at checkout to a 2 day express option (USA)and add in the order notes the day of your wedding. We will try our best for requests that are within the 4-5 week mark, but we cannot make any guarantees. 2tone rings, platinum and rings with gemstones will take longer than solid wedding bands.

Upgrading your shipping option will decrease transit time but it does not mean production time will be decreased. We cannot offer rushed production at this time.

ORDERING THE RIGHT SIZE

We highly, highly suggest you purchase our refundable ring sizer as most of our rings cannot be resized. https://www.etsy.com/listing/93717826 Please see article here for sizing tips: https://celticeternityjewelry.wordpress.com/2023/04/19/ring-size/

WHAT IF I ORDERED THE WRONG SIZE

For wedding bands with stones or continuous knotwork (80% of our designs), cutting the ring for re-sizing would ruin the pattern. We will need to make a brand new ring in the new size; there is a 35% fee of the original cost to cover the labor required to make a new ring. Creating a new ring takes our standard 4-6 weeks. We only offer this discounted remake service once; if you order the incorrect size again, you will have to purchase the ring at full value. We know this is frustrating but we are a small business.

You must contact us within 3 days of receiving your ring to tell us if you need a resize. Original ring must be returned.

STONES & METALS

Our rings are made with lab-grown stones. These are REAL STONES (not fake cubic zirconia) and they are chemically identical to naturally occurring ones, but they are better for the earth because we can find them in a lab versus having to dig randomly in the soil.

We can make any ring in sterling silver, gold (10K, 14K, 18K, yellow, white, or rose) or platinum. We do not offer tungsten, steel, or titanium.

WHITE GOLD - gold is naturally yellow. White gold uses added alloys to give a white-ish appearance but it will still have a slightly yellow hue. We do not rhodium plate our rings unless specifically asked as this coating is temporary and will wear off over time.

FINISH SELECTION (PATINA)

We suggest polished + patina for most rings.

Patina is a method of darkening metal through oxidation. This allows small details to stand out and gives the ring a beautiful contrast. Almost all our photos use patina.

Polish is the standard finish you see in high end jewelry - bright, shiny and very reflective.

Brushed is a matte finish recommended for those who are hard on their hands or do rough work. The surface will not be shiny so it hides any scuffs that might occur during wear. Be warned, this will look much duller than our polished finish.

Please see last image in listings for examples of the different finish styles.

JEWELRY CARE

It is industry standard to recommend that fine jewelry be removed before interacting with water, lotion, or other chemicals. This will allow the ring's finish and patina to last as long as possible. That said, our rings are made of precious metals and water will not affect the structural integrity of the ring.
