FAQ
What does Made to order mean?
Once your order has been placed, we need to craft the piece since it’s being made especially for you and can take a bit more time to be processed. Be sure to note the estimated shipping date on the product page so you can plan accordingly. These pieces include our Milestone collection (engagement rings and wedding bands), engravable and monogrammed pieces.
