FAQ
Ordering & Production
How long does it take to receive a Passage piece?
Passage pieces are made to order, and crafted with intention, which means there's a 6–8 week production window from the date of your order. We'll keep you updated at each milestone - order received, in production, shipped.
How long for Everyday pieces?
Everyday pieces are in stock and ship within 3-5 business days.
Can I rush an order?
If you have a deadline, let us know in your order notes or send us a message. We'll do our best, though Passage pieces have a true production timeline we can't shorten by more than a few days.
Engraving
What can I engrave?
Up to 15 characters (including spaces) on most Passage rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Initials, dates, a short phrase, a private joke - anything that fits.

Yes - free on all eligible Passage pieces. Engraved pieces are final sale.

Materials & Care
What metals do you use?
Passage and Everyday pieces are made in solid 14k and 10k yellow or white gold. Wayfinder Collection pieces are made in sterling silver and 14k gold vermeil.
What stones do you use?
Lab-grown diamonds in our investment Passage pieces. Black moissanite in select pieces. Premium cubic zirconia in the more accessible Wayfinder Collection editions. Every stone is chosen for both beauty and how it sits with the design - not just by price point.
How do I care for my piece?
Solid gold is forgiving - sleep, shower, and swim in it without worry. To keep its shine, wipe gently with a soft cloth, and store in the pouch your piece arrived in so it doesn't tangle with other jewelry. Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, and chlorine where possible - not because it will damage the metal, but because it dulls the surface over time.
A Guide to Choosing
Your Diamond
The 4Cs
Cut
This is the one that matters most. Cut is what gives a diamond its life - its fire, its sparkle, the way it catches light across a room. A well-cut diamond will outshine a larger, poorly cut one every time. Look for a grade of Excellent or Very Good from GIA or AGS, and don't compromise here.
Colour
Graded from D (completely colourless) to Z (a visible yellow tint). The secret most people don't know: G–J appears white to the naked eye, sits beautifully in yellow or rose gold, and costs meaningfully less than a D-F stone that only a trained eye could tell apart.
Clarity
Every diamond has natural inclusions - small internal markings from its formation. Clarity is graded from Flawless to Included. A VS1 or VS2 diamond is typically eye-clean, meaning those inclusions are invisible without magnification, while still saving you considerably over a flawless stone.
Carat
This measures weight, not size - and it's the one place a small shift makes a big difference to price. A diamond just under a round number, like 0.90ct instead of 1.00ct, looks nearly identical to the eye and is priced noticeably lower.
