About Ordering
Q. Where can I place my order? A: You can place your order through our website or you can send us a direct message on Instagram @flor.jewellery to place your order! Q: How can I start my bespoke order? A: To start a bespoke order with us, the first step is to request a quotation.

Please note that it typically takes 1-2 weeks for the design progress and 2-3 weeks for the jewellery making, depending on the complexity of the design.
About Diamond Engagement Rings
Q: Can I examine the diamonds before making my final choice? A: Certainly! We would be delighted to set up a private meeting for you to inspect the chosen diamonds before your ultimate purchase. However, since our company is dedicated to online retailing to offer competitive pricing, we can only provide max. 3 diamonds for an in-person examination. Through our extensive experience, we have determined that providing 2-3 high-quality diamonds is ample for customers to make a confident purchase, having carefully narrowed down their options with the guidance of our expert consultants. Q: I noticed that the current price listed for a diamond of the same quality and size as the one I purchased a year/ few months ago is different. Why? A: We listed our price based on the global diamond prices index. Therefore, the price of diamonds may fluctuate from time to time due to market supply or any global factors. Q: Before making my first diamond purchase, what important information should I be aware of? A: Before making your first purchase, there are several things you should consider. First, educate yourself on the 4Cs of diamonds: carat weight, cut, colour, and clarity. These factors determine the value and price of the diamond. So, it is essential to understand them and prioritise your preference among the 4Cs to make an informed purchase. Q: How can I determine my girlfriend's ring size? A: Determining your girlfriend's ring size can be tricky, but you can try a few methods. (1) Ask one of her close friends or family members if they know her ring size; they may be able to provide some insight or even discreetly ask her for you. (2) Another option is to "borrow" a ring she wears frequently and take it to a jeweller to measure it. (3) You can also measure her inner ring diameter with a piece of paper or ruler. Keep in mind that the ring should fit snugly but not be too tight, and it's always better to err on the larger side if you're uncertain. Q: Which finger does an engagement ring go on? A: Generally speaking, in Hong Kong, an engagement ring is traditionally worn on the middle finger. However, in many western countries, it's common to wear engagement rings on the fourth finger, also known as the "ring finger." Ultimately, it's up to personal preference and style. If you plan on wearing your engagement ring with a wedding band or a ring with side stones, it may be best to consider wearing it on the fourth finger to avoid resizing in the future. Q: If the ring doesn't fit my girlfriend's finger, what should I do? A: Don't worry! If you purchase your engagement ring from our store and require resizing within 3 months of delivery, we offer our customers a complimentary first resizing service. For further information, kindly refer to our store policies.
About Precious Metals and Natural Gemstones
Q: Can you tell me about the materials used in your products? A: We are pleased to inform you that we exclusively use 18k (also referred to as 750) gold for our jewellery pieces. Additionally, we offer Platinum (PT) as a metal alternative for bespoke jewellery upon customer request. Q: Can you explain the distinction between 18k gold and platinum? A: 18k gold and platinum are both popular metals for jewellery, but they have differences. 18k gold is 75% gold with other metals, softer, less expensive, and may scratch easily. Platinum is naturally white, denser, more durable, and hypoallergenic. Maintenance for both requires cleaning, but platinum may need more frequent polishing. The choice between these metals comes down to personal preference, budget, and intended use. Q: Do your products exclusively feature natural gemstones? A: At Flor.Jewellery, any jewellery not categorised as part of our sustainable jewellery collection is made with natural gemstones. Q: Can you assure me that the products I bought are crafted using natural diamonds and gemstones? A: At Flor.Jewellery, natural diamonds above 0.30ct are all come with GIA certifications. For diamonds and gemstones without GIA or any laboratory certificates, we provide accurate and honest descriptions and encourage appraisal to address any doubts.
About Care and Maintenance
Q: Can I wear my jewellery in the shower? A: Our jewellery is crafted from high-quality 18k gold, ensuring its durability and safety for wear in the shower or bath. Nevertheless, we advise against wearing pearl jewellery in the shower due to the presence of chemicals in soaps, shampoos, and conditioners that can potentially harm and damage the pearls. Q: Can I wear my diamond jewellery every day? A: Diamond jewellery is durable and can be worn every day, but it is important to take steps to care for it properly. Diamonds are one of the hardest natural materials on earth, so they are resistant to scratches and chips, but they can still be damaged by impact or extreme heat. To ensure your diamond jewellery stays looking its best, remove it when engaging in activities that may put it at risk for damage, such as playing sports or doing heavy work with your hands. Also, avoid exposing your diamond jewellery to chemicals like chlorine or harsh cleaning products. Q: How can I clean my jewellery at home? A: There are a few different methods you can use to clean your jewellery at home! (1) One option is to mix a few drops of dish soap or toothpaste with warm water and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub your jewellery gently. After cleaning, rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth. (2) Another option is to soak your jewellery in a mixture of warm water and baking soda for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinsing with water. Some types of jewellery, like pearls or opals, require more delicate cleaning methods, so be sure to do some research on the specific type of jewellery you have!
About Sustainable Jewellery
Q: What materials are used in your sustainable jewellery collection? A: We feature lab-grown diamonds (and recycled gold - designated products only) in our sustainable jewellery collection. Lab-grown diamonds above 0.20ct are come with GIA or IGI certifications and are certified as Sustainability Rated Diamonds. We hold ourselves accountable for providing ethically sourced and eco-friendly jewellery options to our customers. Q: What's the difference bewteen natural and lab-grown diamonds? A: Natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle over the course of millions of years due to extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, are created in a laboratory environment using advanced technology that simulates the intense pressure and temperature conditions necessary for diamond formation. While both natural and lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical composition and physical properties, there are some differences in terms of their origin and value. Natural diamonds are typically more valuable due to their rarity, while lab-grown diamonds are often less expensive and more sustainable. Q: Can you explain why Flor.Jewellery chooses to offer lab-grown diamonds jewellery? A: In order to strike a balance between a diamond's preservable value and sustainability, we believe that smaller sized diamonds may have less preservable value. For everyday wear and small-sized jewellery, lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance as a natural diamond while providing a sustainable and ethical alternative for our valued customers. Q: Are all of your diamonds Sustainability Rated Diamonds? A: No, only natural diamonds that are accompanied by detailed descriptions and SCS-007 certifications are qualified as Sustainability Rated Diamonds. However, all lab-grown diamonds from Flor.jewellery are guaranteed to be Sustainability Rated Diamonds.
