If you need to clarify our current order fulfillment times, please reach out. Note: if you place an order between the months of September through November, an extended lead time may be needed of 12-16 weeks.

Regardless of the disclosed or discussed time frame—some orders can take weeks longer to complete. Please be aware of this before placing a custom or pre-order. Instances may arise where production time can be pushed back. Know that we appreciate your patience.

Under no circumstance will we issue a refund because an order is running late. If you can’t commit to waiting, please keep a lookout for ready-to-wear items that are frequently dropped in the online store.

If you need your order completed by a guaranteed date, you can rush order it. Otherwise, no particular timeline is guaranteed.

We ask that you please be understanding of this when placing an order. Know that we will never rush a piece just to meet a deadline as we feel the integrity of the said piece(s) could be compromised. With that being said, some orders may go beyond the designated production time frame. If this does happen, please be respectful of our integrity and know that we are working as diligently and efficiently as possible to complete your order. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Rush order — If you need your order by a guaranteed date for an event or gift; please contact us prior to placing your order to discuss the timeline. Some rush orders will require an additional fee and some may not. We are happy to chat with you about your deadline!

Rush order process
We offer guaranteed completion by an agreed-upon date. It’s up to you to schedule your timeline and provide us with a date that fits into your schedule (with shipping times kept in mind.) You will select a shipping method of your choice to allow the item to get to you by the date that you need it.

Our agreed-upon date is an agreement that your order will be completed and shipped out of our studio on or before that day ends. Please choose your completion date wisely and make sure there is room for extra delays from USPS or UPS for it to arrive to you on the date that you need it.

The Design Process
The custom process starts with inquiring through the custom projects tab. Once we receive your request, we will get back to you and let you know if it’s a project we can do for you. If you wish to move forward, we require a flat $500 USD deposit before any design, research, sourcing, or planning is done on the project.

The deposit is a partial payment in advance for the service being done. It lets us know that the client is going to follow through with the project and that our time is valued. We can’t get you on our schedule without a deposit just as we can’t fabricate a piece without it being paid for.

All orders are required to be paid in full upfront prior to their fabrication —  this includes custom projects. However, custom projects are a little different because the final cost isn’t usually determined until after the design and planning stages are completed. This is why a deposit is at least required to continue the discussion. Once the design is complete on paper, the balance is due before any fabrication time begins on the order. The designing of the project is usually done within a week.

The deposit is applied toward the total balance of your custom project. Sending photos, doing research, sourcing, planning, correspondence and pricing are billed labor. For whatever reason, if you decide not to follow through with the project after your deposit has been made, your deposit is billed as labor and non-refundable. However, if for whatever reason we decide that we are unable to accommodate your request, we will return your deposit.

If there are any changes made to the design after paid in full, there may be a $200+ change fee plus any additional cost of materials and labor expenses in excess of what was already agreed upon.

Custom Design quotes are valid for 48 hours and are subject to change based on the metal market.

Domestic and international orders are shipped via USPS or UPS (given the order value). 

To ensure you receive the value of your item(s) in the event of loss, theft, or damage; all shipping options at checkout include appropriate insurance and/or signature confirmation for their destination and value.

If your order is lost, stolen, or damaged, a shipping insurance claim must be processed and paid out before a replacement item is issued. A replacement item will only be issued in the event that insurance has covered the loss.

Shipping Requirements: All orders over $500 will have signature confirmation upon delivery.

NOTE: If you need to change your shipping address after placing your order, it will void all insurance on your order.
