FAQ
Why do you use lab-grown diamonds?
Laboratory grown diamonds are conflict free, sustainable, earth friendly, indistinguishable from natural diamonds to the eye, and just as beautiful as "dug out of the ground" diamonds.
Will my jewelry order arrive gift-wrapped?
Yes, your purchase will be placed in a gift box, inside a gift bag with tissue paper, ready for gift-giving.
Why do you use 14K yellow posts for your stud earrings?
14K yellow gold posts look very nice, but more importantly, they can be made thinner than a silver post. Silver posts will need to be thicker to be sturdy.
Are you available for custom work?
Many items can be customized, new designs can be created, set with gemstones of your choice, made wider, smaller, the Argentium Silver darkened with a patina, or left in the natural color instead.
What is Argentium Silver?
Argentium silver is a sustainably produced silver alloy which is more pure, brighter in color and more tarnish resistant than traditional sterling silver. It is stamped "935", instead of "925" for traditional sterling silver.

How do I measure my wrist for a cuff bracelet?
The easiest way to measure a wrist for a cuff bracelet is to cut a piece of paper at least 1/2 inch wide (or the actual width of the bracelet). Wrap it around your wrist above the wrist bone, mark the strip of paper where the ends meet and then measure it against a ruler.
A flexible measuring tape can also be used.

How do I find my finger size?
If you don't know your finger size, please visit a local jewelry store to get measured. Though not all ring gauges in the jewelry industry are calibrated and can slightly vary from each other. (For example, you might measure a size 7 with one sizer and a size 7 1/4 with another store's sizer)
