FAQ
Below are some common questions about our products
You can read more about our Payment and Financing options here, or below.
- Financing
We are happy to offer two methods of financing for our customers. Both options will be available when you go to check out and add your financial information - you will click 'complete order', and will be redirected to the financial institution's website to complete your purchase securely.
If you are planning on financing, we recommend that you apply now so you know what you are approved for, and we can set up multiple listings so you can use multiple payment methods, as outlines below. - Multiple Payment Methods
We can divide the total price of a piece between 2, 3 or 4 listings so that you can use multiple different payment methods to purchase a ring. For example, if you wanted to purchase a ring for $4500 and have $500 you want to put on a debit card and then you want to use financing for $1000 and then you want the remaining amount on your credit card we would set up the following listings for you, first one for $500, the second one for $1000 and the remaining amount would be on the third listing for $3000.
All of the listings have to be purchased within a 24 hour period, the payments cannot be spread over multiple days/weeks. - Do You Accept Holds or Deposits?
We do not accept holds or deposits - we start creating a piece for you once the payment has been paid in full up front. If you purchase a CAD design deposit, the stone you have selected is removed temporarily from our website while we are working on your renders. Once we send you the renders, you have 3 business days to purchase the listing. If you do not move forward, or we do not hear from you, we will re-activate the stone so it is purchasable by other customers.
We understand buying a piece of fine jewelry online can be intimidating. We are here to help!

We would love to work with you to create a piece of custom jewelry. Because this piece is made specifically based on your specifications, it is not returnable or exchangeable. Any of our in stock and already listed items are returnable and exchangeable.
What to expect:
Once you reach out to us with your custom order specifications we will work with you through email to go over all the details of the piece.
We will be able to provide pricing once we have the details of the setting, gold type and exact stone choice.
*Depending on the complexity of the design and if it is a completely new style, we may need you to purchase a CAD design deposit in order to do a mock up of the piece to make sure we are on the same page, as well as to finalize your price estimate. If you move forward with the piece, the CAD deposit is credited toward the final price.
How do I order?
After landing on a design, if you decide that you want to go ahead and order the custom piece we have discussed we will create a custom link for you that will include a written spec outline of the piece to be created and will be for the full price of the piece. The listing must be purchased within 24 hours.
How do I pay?
We will start working on the piece for you once you have made the full payment for the custom listing.
- Your payment also reserves the loose stone so no other customers can purchase it.
- We do not accept deposits and/or reserve any stones without payment.
- We accept credit & debit cards, PayPal, PayPal Echeck and Apple Pay.
I'm excited - when do I get my piece?
Once you have made your payment it will take us on average 6-8 weeks to make a custom piece depending on the difficulty of the piece.
Please contact us to begin the process.
$1500 for custom bespoke experience, $1300 is applied towards the total price of the ring. If you decide to back out, we will keep $400 for our time.
The time it takes for resizing is 3-5 weeks.
Customer pays for the materials and labor of resizing as well as the cost of shipping.
Please reach out to info@pointnopointstudio.com for further instructions on where and how to send your ring back, and how much your resizing will be based on your ring design.
Oxidized silver is sterling silver that has been intentionally darkened by introducing it to a chemical process. Liver of sulfur is a chemical compound used in metalworking to create antique-looking patinas on silver.
Oxidized silver is only a surface treatment and will fade away. We cannot say how soon the finish will start to fade because it depends on the amount of wear you give your rings. If you would like information on how to maintain your dark finish at home please reach out via pointnopointstudio.com >
If you want a permanently black ring, we recommend looking for a tungsten or titanium ring; please note these metals are difficult, if not impossible, to resize and we do not work with them.
White Rhodium
We white rhodium plate all of our women’s 14k white gold rings for a pristine bright white finish. We can also white rhodium plate 14k white gold men's bands, or sterling silver bands (men’s or women’s) upon request free of charge if you are concerned about sterling allergies.
We ship everything discreetly! There is no indication that the package contains jewelry, and our company name does not appear on the exterior packaging. We use a shipping alias, so if you live with your partner, it will not display "Point No Point Studio" anywhere on the package.
Items retailing at or around $500 will be shipped via USPS; both tracking and signature confirmation are required for delivery. Point No Point Studio guarantees the safe delivery of your order and will offer a replacement in case of lost or stolen packages in transit.
All items over approximately $500 will be mailed with FedEx 2 Day. The average delivery time is 2-3 business days for a US address. Signature confirmation is required for delivery. Again, Point No Point Studio guarantees the safe delivery of your order and will offer a replacement in case of lost or stolen packages in transit.
If you know you won't be home, we can arrange a 'Hold for Pickup' at a local FedEx Ship Center. Please email info@pointnopointstudio.com to coordinate. Please note that our replacement guarantee ceases once the package is delivered to the FedEx facility designated for 'Hold for Pickup'. If the package is misplaced after being placed in the back room of the Ship Center and before you pick it up, our replacement guarantee will not apply. Some facilities have a limited timeline for holding packages for customer pickup, so please plan to retrieve your package as soon as possible after delivery. You will need to show an ID that matches the name and address on the package for release.
Signature Confirmation: You are responsible for being at the delivery location or arranging for someone else to sign for the package.
If you choose to opt out of the signature confirmation requirement for your package, you must notify us at the time of your purchase. Shipments sent without signature confirmation are not covered by our safe delivery guarantee. Point No Point Studio cannot be held liable for lost or stolen items, and no replacement will be offered when signature confirmation is waived.
Replacement Guarantee
Point No Point Studio is committed to ensuring the safe and secure delivery of your purchase. Our replacement guarantee provides the following assurances:
- Guarantee Coverage: Our guarantee covers all items from the point of shipment until they are delivered to your designated address or a FedEx hold facility, as specified in your shipping instructions.
- Conditions for Replacement:
- Exclusions: Our guarantee does not extend to:
- Claims Process:
Claims must be made within 48 hours of the recorded delivery time for stolen packages and 24 hours for damaged items.
International Shipping:
International shipping typically takes 6-10 business days and is sent with UPS. Shipment includes tracking updates and insurance.
Canada and Mexico: All items shipped to Canada and Mexico will come with a USMCA certification. USMCA certification may reduce duties and only applies to Canada and Mexico shipments (see below).
Per UPS, there are low value thresholds - we will send a USMCA certification with each package, however anything over the below stated amount will not qualify for USMCA discounted duties unfortunately. There is no other form that exists to discount duties on higher value packages.
- From US or Canada to Mexico - $1,000 USD
- From US or Mexico to Canada - $3,300 CAD (~$2,500 USD - USD amount may change due to fluctuating conversion rates)
Import and Duty Taxes:
On international shipments you may have to pay import duty and tax on your item. Import tax or duty is a tax collected on imports by the customs authorities of a country. For example if the item is shipped from the US to the UK then revenue from the duty goes to the government of the UK. Import duty and tax rates are determined by the country upon import. UK import fees may be around 20%, but customer is responsible to research and pay any fees.
Businesses such as ours don't collect or profit in any way from the duty tax and PNP Studio is in no way responsible for the tax that has to be paid. The duty and tax are set by the government we don't know what the amount of the tax is, or the percentage. The duty/ tax is the responsibility of the purchaser. PNP Studio is not responsible for this tax and we will not reimburse your for this tax.
If you want to inquire about this, contact your countries mail system; THIS WEBSITE has potentially helpful information. PNP Studio is not responsible for calculating taxes or fees.
Please make sure your address is correct upon checkout. We will ship to the address provided unless otherwise requested.
*We cannot mark your shipment as a gift to avoid paying taxes*
*You are responsible for knowing/taking into account any import restrictions into your destination country - we are not responsible to know every country's import restrictions/requirements*
Express fabrication & shipping:
Express fabrication and shipping is available for some items for an additional charge - this is rare and on a case by case basis. Many of our customers ask to expedite their items, so based on the size of our queue at any given time this option may or may not be available, since if we accepted all expedited requests our other orders would quickly fall behind.
Please contact us prior to purchase (info@pointnopointstudio.com) if you need an item fabricated quickly and sent with express mail to make sure we can meet your request. The cost of express service is for express fabrication or resizing and for express delivery in the domestic US.
Our Loose Stones Page shows some of our current inventory of available loose stones we can use to make custom rings. If you are interested in this please visit our Custom Order Information on our FAQ page (above). Our loose stones do not have a price listed and do not show an "add to cart" button because they are not for individual sale. You cannot purchase a loose stone. If somehow you are able to submit a zero dollar value order for a loose stone you will not be given the stone or sent the stone and this will not allow you to reserve the stone. Any "orders" that are somehow placed for the loose stone itself will be void and canceled.
We suggest finding your ring size by either going to a local jeweler to have your finger sized. Or we are happy to mail you a free plastic ring sizer in the mail. If you need to convert your size please use this chart Ring Size Chart.
*Men's rings/women's bands/all items that are not one of a kind; Please do not purchase multiple sizes in the same ring and then return all the ones that do not fit; this also applies if you received your ring and want to exchange for another size - we make each ring by hand so it takes a considerable amount of time to make each ring. We need a way to recoup our time, labor, and materials used on your made to order ring - Please purchase one size and we can resize it for you if it does not fit.
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and harsh chemicals. Remove jewelry during sports activities, housework and outdoor activities. Remove all jewelry when in a swimming pool or hot tub. Diamond and gemstone jewelry can be washed using mild soap, warm water and a soft bristle brush. Carefully rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth. Rough diamonds: to remove debris from the stone, make a paste with baking soda and water. Using a soft bristle brush rub the paste into the diamond. This also will gently clean the metal.
We make our rings to last, and they are durable and suitable for everyday wear. However, if something were to happen to it, we stand behind our products and will repair or replace the item if the issue is a result of manufacturing (you need the prongs tightened, etc) for a period of one year from the date you received the ring.
Any additional work done on our jewelry (sanding, cutting, soldering, polishing, resizing, etc.) by any jewelry company other than us, Point No Point Studio, voids our in-house warranty.
If you have purchased a Care Plan, please refer to the information provided regarding covered services. The length of your coverage depends on which plan you purchased, the 3 Year Plan or the Lifetime Plan.
Furthermore, if you'd like insurance on the ring you would need to find an outside company to do so. We recommend Jewelers Mutual Group - you can obtain a quote for insurance here.
A Point No Point Studio authenticity document will be included with your purchase of an engagement ring. The document states the stone carat weight, type of diamond(s), type of metal used, pictures of ring, replacement value, invoice information, name of purchaser, and other details if applicable. This document can be presented to insurance companies in order to receive insurance coverage through a home owner policy or through an individual jewelry policy.
For an additional $80 US dollars you can purchase a gemological laboratory certification. All certifications come from accredited nationally recognized 3rd party gem lab. The gem lab certification authenticates that the diamond or stone has been tested and is genuine. The document states the carat weight, shape, measurements, clarity, color, fluorescence, and provides a photo of the stone taken under magnification. Sending a ring in for certification will add 2-3 weeks onto the processing time if the certificate is not already included with your purchase. If a certificate is already paired with a ring, the listing description for that item will include a sentence stating that the diamond or stone comes with a certificate.
For Washington state customers; Our manufacturing studio is located in Snohomish, WA - As such, if your order is shipped to an address in WA state, you will be charged local and state sales tax. You can use this tax rate calculator to determine your local tax rates, and enter the ring amount to estimate the total amount of tax you will need to pay.
For out of state customers; Tax laws in regard to online purchases are ever-changing, we cannot estimate if you will be charged tax or not - to be sure, please add the item you are interested in to your cart and begin the checkout process; once you add your shipping address, tax will be calculated automatically (if applicable).
Recycled sterling silver and gold is the same color and molecular composition as non recycled metals. The refiner we purchase raw materials from has been committed to providing socially and environmentally-responsible products. The raw metal has been refined from non mined sources such as reclaimed jewelry, silverware and coin precious metal. No metal from mining companies has been used. It isn't any cheaper it is actually more expensive it is better for the environment.

All packages require a signature for delivery; You will not be able to change the delivery address mid-delivery due to the high value of the package - we need to contact our insurance company in order to make any address changes, so if you know you won’t be home when the package will be delivered please reach out now to confirm another address or to have the package held at a FedEx location. Please note that insurance for the package will end once it is ‘delivered’ at a FedEx location; if the package goes missing at the facility prior to you picking it up, our insurer does not cover that.
