All in-stock items are processed and shipped within 10-12 business days. In some cases, if not available in our inventory, it may take 6-8 weeks to create the special order. This time frame is required for new production and international shipping from manufacturing to delivery. We cannot be held accountable for delays on the carrier’s part due to severe weather or other unexpected conditions.
We ship domestically to addresses across the United States. Shipments are only delivered to confirmed residential or business addresses, not to P.O. boxes or hotels.

Once the order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number. We fully insure each item during transit and an adult signature is required at the time of delivery.

Custom orders are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged (once the manufacturing process has started in the ateliers).
Small changes along the design process are possible. New designs outside the initially agreed upon design will be considered a new Bespoke order and are subject to a design change fee of $300. Sinclair Gems owns all design copyright and has the right to refuse or cancel any order.
