EXPERT ADVICE
 

At Humphrey Jewellery, we’re dedicated to creating pieces that last a lifetime — both in beauty and value. While Moissanite is a popular diamond alternative, we choose not to work with it because it does not hold the same brilliance, durability, or long-term value as natural or lab-grown diamonds.

Moissanite tends to display a strong “rainbow sparkle,” which can look overly reflective under certain lighting. Over time, it may also lose clarity or show surface wear. Our commitment is to materials that meet the highest standards of luxury craftsmanship and enduring quality — that’s why we exclusively use natural and lab-grown diamonds, both ethically sourced and hand-selected for their fire, brilliance, and authenticity.

We believe true luxury should be timeless, not temporary.

To keep your Humphrey Jewellery looking its best, avoid harsh chemicals, lotions, and essential oils. Clean your pieces gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. We recommend a professional check-up every 6–12 months. For white gold rings, re-rhodium plating can restore their bright finish when needed.

• 14K gold: Lighter in color, Slightly more durable, ideal for everyday wear.

• 18K gold: Richer in color, purer in gold content, and slightly softer. Both are equally beautiful — it simply depends on your preference and lifestyle.

Yes. All diamonds come with a GIA or IGI certificate, verifying authenticity and quality (cut, color, clarity, and carat). Gemstone can come with IGI certificates.

Smaller accent stones are inspected for consistency and brilliance.

Since each piece is custom-made, we cannot accept returns for change of mind. However, if your item arrives faulty or incorrect, contact us within 7 days of delivery. We’ll be happy to repair, replace, or issue a store credit.

Each piece is made individually.

1. The Easiest At-Home Method (String or Paper)

You’ll need:

• A thin strip of paper or string

• A ruler

• A pen

Steps:

1. Wrap the paper or string snugly around the base of your finger.

2. Mark where it overlaps.

3. Measure the length (in millimetres).

4. Match your measurement to the size chart below

Circumference (mm)AU / UK SizeUS

2. Best Accuracy Option

Visit any jewellery store and ask to have your finger measured — it’s free and takes 30 seconds. Humphrey Jewellery also recommends doing this if you’re ordering a custom or engagement ring, since half-sizes can make a big difference in comfort.

3. Helpful Tips

• Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are at their largest.

• Don’t measure when your hands are cold (fingers shrink slightly).

• Rings should slide on easily and fit snugly at the base — not too tight, not too loose.

• If you’re between two sizes, go for the larger one (especially for wider bands).

The time it takes to create and deliver your custom-designed jewellery from Humphrey Jewellery in Australia is typically 2 to 4 weeks from the date the design is finalized and confirmed.

The exact timing within this window depends on two key factors:

1. Stone and Component Availability: If your chosen natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, or unique gemstone is immediately available and in stock, the process is faster. If custom cutting or overseas sourcing is required, it may push the timeline closer to the 4-week mark.

2. Complexity of Customization: Simple modifications to a ready-to-ship setting take less time like within days. Highly complex bespoke designs, intricate engraving, or unique structural requirements will require additional time for our master craftsmen to ensure perfection.

We prioritize both speed and quality, and we will provide you with a more precise estimated completion date during your 1-on-1 consultation.
