Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the process take?
Because each Lauréle Lumière piece is made to order, we craft your ring from scratch — just for you. This intentional, small-batch process takes approximately 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and materials chosen.
This timeline includes:
- Sourcing your selected stone and metal
- Precision setting and craftsmanship
- Quality checks and finishing touches
Once your ring is ready, we’ll ship it out with care and notify you every step of the way.
We believe that something made just for you is always worth the wait.

What’s the difference between moissanite, lab-grown diamond, and cubic zirconia?
All three stones are beautiful, but they each offer something unique in terms of sparkle, durability, and price:
Moissanite
Moissanite is a rare gemstone known for its incredible brilliance and fire — it sparkles even more than a diamond! It’s almost as hard as a diamond (9.25 on the Mohs scale), making it extremely durable for daily wear. Moissanite is lab-created and offers a luxe look at a more affordable price point.
Lab-Grown Diamond
Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds, just made in a lab instead of mined from the earth. They have the exact same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds — but are ethically produced and significantly more affordable. If you want a classic diamond with a lower environmental impact, this is a perfect choice.
Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
CZ is a cost-effective alternative that offers plenty of sparkle at a fraction of the price. While softer (8–8.5 on the Mohs scale) and more prone to clouding over time, it’s a beautiful option for special occasions or fashion jewelry that doesn’t break the bank.
Do you offer custom designs or engraving?
Yes, we love creating pieces that are uniquely yours.
At Lauréle Lumière, we offer:

How do I know my ring size?
Finding your perfect fit is easier than you think!
We recommend checking out our Ring Size Guide page.
If you're between sizes or unsure, we suggest sizing up slightly — especially for wider bands or if you’re ordering internationally.
Still need help? Feel free to reach out to us — we’re happy to guide you through it. Because the perfect ring deserves the perfect fit.
How do I care for my jewellery?
To keep your Lauréle Lumière piece shining beautifully, we recommend a few simple care practices:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Remove your jewelry when using cleaning products, applying lotions, or swimming in chlorinated pools.
- Store it Safely: Keep your pieces in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling.
- Clean Gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a mild soap and warm water solution to clean your jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate stones or plated pieces.
- Remove before bed or exercise: This helps prevent accidental damage or wear over time.
With a little care, your jewelry will remain as luminous as the moment you first received it.
What is your return or exchange policy?
Because each Lauréle Lumière piece is made to order, returns and exchanges are handled with care and on a case-by-case basis.
