Order Information and FAQS

SHIPPING & TAXES

How long will my order take to arrive?

If your piece is in stock, it will typically ship within a few days. If it is a made-to-order piece, we typically have an eight to 3 week turnaround. In rare cases, we may need to source special stones or components for your order and thus the turnaround might be longer. However, you will always be given an expected ship date at the time of your order.

Please let us know then if you need a piece sooner or have a firm delivery date (e.g., for a wedding or engagement).

How long does it take to ship?

We ship typically ship with 3-5 days delivery anywhere in the United States. International shipping can take anywhere from 4 - 10 days, although it could be longer. Please contact us if you need expedited shipping.

Do you pay for customs fees?

Unfortunately we do not. Customers are responsible for any duties and taxes which may come due according to their local jurisdiction.

Can I have a purchase sent to a different address than my billing address?

Yes. For online orders, please enter two different addresses - one for billing and one for shipping. If you have any questions or need to make changes, please contact us directly enquiries@meitalove.com.

How will my purchase be packaged?

All pieces will be placed in branded display boxes. These are then placed boxes inside bubble mailers and then inside unlabeled shipping boxes. We send all packages with high-value insurance to protect your purchase. We do require an adult signature for all shipments.

Can you ship to a PO Box?

Unfortunately we cannot. We require an adult signature for all shipments.

Do you charge sales tax?

Yes, we are located in New Jersey and will need to charge sales tax to anyone located in our state. That includes orders that are picked up from our studio or shipped to New Jersey locations.

RETURNS & REPAIRS

What is your return policy?

We pride ourselves in satisfying our customers and want you to love wearing your pieces as much as we love making them. So please be sure to communicate clearly prior to placing a custom order to make sure all the details are correct. And if you’re unhappy with the final result, contact us immediately upon delivery.

Unfortunately, we do not offer cash refunds on jewelry purchases due to the fact that all pieces are made to order. If you have any questions, please contact enquiries@meitalove.com.

Do you offer repairs?

Yes, we are always happy to repair, refinish and clean our pieces whenever possible. Each piece must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, so please get in touch with us at enquiries@meitalove.com for more information.

CUSTOMIZATION

Can you customize a piece for me?

Yes! Please contact an account manager at enquiries@meitalove.com for more information.

Can you incorporate my gold into a new piece?

In general, we cannot incorporate the metal from a vintage jewelry piece directly into your new piece. This is because it is very difficult to verify the quality of the gold in vintage pieces and any mixed metals will significantly degrade the structural integrity of your finished piece. We are happy to send your gold to the refiners and apply a credit to your order for the amount of money received. However, we can’t physically incorporate that refined gold into your piece.

Can you incorporate an inherited or vintage stone into a piece?

We love doing custom pieces with heirloom stones! The feasibility will depend on the style of ring and condition and size of the stones that you provide. All stones will need to be inspected in-person to assess for quality, size, color and cut. Please contact us at enquries@meialove.com for more information.

Can I supply my own new stones?

We’ve worked with many customers in the past who have supplied their own stones. We first need to ensure that the stones are high grade and quality cuts and in good condition to work with our designs. All stones will need to be inspected in-person to finalizing any orders. If you have GIA paperwork for your stone, please arrange to have it sent to us along with the stone for review. Contact us at enquiries@meitalove.com for more information.

Do your necklaces include chains?

Yes, all pendants and necklaces are sold with chains. If you think you’d like a longer or shorter chain, please let us know when you place your order.

RETURNS & REPAIRS

What is your return policy?

Unfortunately, we do not offer cash refunds on jewelry purchases due to the fact that all pieces are made to order. If you have any questions, please contact enquiries@meitalove.com.

SIZING

How do I find my correct ring size?

We suggest you go to a reputable jeweler and have them size your finger properly – do not use plastic or at-home “printable” ring sizers. We also recommend that you have your fingers measured a few different times in order to get an average. If you have worn rings before, you will probably know that your hands change size with the heat or time of day. Please take this into account when finalizing your size.

We primarily use US sizing in our workshop, but we can also calculate the conversion for UK sizing.

What if I get my ring size wrong?

If you order the wrong size and it is a style that can be re-sized, we will do so for a fee plus shipping. Please get in touch with us immediately if you discover upon delivery that the ring is too big or small.
