Process and Shipping
Handcrafted Time
Each (art)ifact is made to order in our studio, handcrafted just for you. Production generally takes 6 weeks, though this timeframe may be slightly shorter or longer depending on the intricacies of your design and materials required. If you’d like a better idea of the timing, feel free to email us. We’d be happy to discuss the nuances of bringing your piece to life.
Shipping
Shipping in the US is free on orders over $900. A signature will be required on orders over $400. Rates for international orders are calculated at checkout.
Ethically Sourced
At Nora Sermez ethics are non negotiable. We cast only with fair trade gold, crown our designs in responsibly sourced natural gems or low impact lab diamonds, and finish every piece under the desert hands of master jewelers in Scottsdale. Rings featuring center diamonds over 0.5 CT arrive with full grading dossiers (GIA, GCAL or IGI). The result: conscience clean luxury that blazes with uncompromised brilliance.
Care Guide
Our pieces are made to last, crafted in solid gold or platinum, using high quality natural and lab grown stones. They’re designed for daily wear, but like all fine jewelry, they’re not indestructible.
Rings should always be treated with care. Physical impact, especially activities like weightlifting, moving heavy objects, or accidental drops, can bend prongs, loosen stones, or damage settings. Damage from impact is not considered a defect and won’t be covered under any warranty.
Our in house alloys are hypoallergenic. Most of our designs can be worn in the shower, with the exception of opals. Opals are naturally porous and can absorb water, becoming cloudy or translucent, we strongly recommend keeping them dry.
For rings, strictly avoid chlorinated media, swimming pools, hot tubs, household bleach, because chloride ions accelerate galvanic corrosion, pitting the gold alloy and degrading both its surface luster and the structural integrity of prongs.
To keep your ring sparkling, soak it in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap once or twice a month. Gently brush around and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
You may also use an at home ultrasonic cleaner but only for designs without opals, emeralds, or delicate prong settings, and never if your ring has sustained any impact. When in doubt, hand cleaning is always safest.
Please note: body oils, lotions, and soap residue can cause gemstones to appear cloudy over time. This is easily cleaned with the method above.
Your ring is made with care and it deserves the same.
