Timelines & What to Expect

Clarity at every stage

Fine jewelry takes time — and it should.

At Caratsbox, we believe timelines should be clear and predictable. Whether you are choosing a ready design or creating something custom, knowing what to expect allows you to move forward with confidence.

General Production Timelines

Timelines vary depending on design complexity and customization, but the following provides a clear reference.

Ready-to-Ship Jewelry

  • Processed and shipped within 2–5 business days

  • Includes final quality checks before dispatch

Custom & Made-to-Order Jewelry

  • Typically completed within 3–5 weeks

  • Timelines are confirmed before production begins

Every timeline is communicated clearly — there are no open-ended estimates.

What Happens During Production

Custom jewelry involves multiple stages, each contributing to quality and precision.

This includes:

  • Design refinement and confirmation

  • Lab-grown diamond selection and verification

  • Setting construction and stone placement

  • Finishing and quality review

Each step is intentional and cannot be rushed without compromising the final result.

Quality Checks Along the Way

Throughout the process, quality is assessed at key stages.

We review:

  • Diamond placement and security

  • Structural integrity of the setting

  • Finish, polish, and proportions

  • Overall balance and wearability

Only pieces that meet our standards move forward.

Shipping & Delivery

Once completed:

  • Jewelry is securely packaged

  • Shipments are fully insured

  • Tracking details are shared upon dispatch

A signature may be required upon delivery to ensure safe receipt.

Changes & Revisions

Because custom jewelry is created specifically for you, changes after design approval may not always be possible.

Any adjustments must be discussed before production begins. We guide you carefully at the design stage to avoid the need for revisions later.

Planning for Important Dates

If you are purchasing jewelry for a specific date or occasion, we recommend starting early.

Let us know if your timeline is sensitive — we will advise you honestly on feasibility before proceeding.

What to Expect from Us

You can expect:

  • Clear communication at every stage

  • Confirmed timelines before production

  • Honest guidance if expectations need adjustment

  • Support before, during, and after delivery

Transparency is part of the experience.
