FAQs
Your most asked questions
Orders and Payments
CAN I CHANGE/CANCEL MY ORDER?
Unfortunately, cancellations or changes are not possible. Once you place your order, we begin production right away to ensure we meet the quoted lead time.
CAN I RUSH MY ORDER?
We generally require the full production time stated on each product page. If you have a specific deadline in mind, please contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. All orders require a minimum of 2 weeks for production. Please note that requests involving more complex designs, certified stones, or fancy cut stones are unlikely to be expedited, as these require time to source and select.
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DOES TINXX ACCEPT?
We accept major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Shopify Payments.
ARE DUTIES AND TAXES INCLUDED IN THE PRICES LISTED?
Duties and taxes are not included in the prices listed. Instead, duties and taxes are calculated at checkout. Your order will arrive Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), so there are no additional fees on arrival.
ARE PRICES ON TINXX SUBJECT TO CHANGE?
Yes, prices on tinxx may be subject to change. Due to fluctuating market conditions, such as gold and diamond prices, we may occasionally adjust our prices to reflect these changes. The price listed at the time of your purchase is the final price you will be charged.
IS IT SAFE TO ORDER ON TINXX?
Absolutely. Shopping on tinxxjewelry.com is safe and secure. Our checkout is powered by Shopify, and we guarantee that every order will be processed and fulfilled with care. You'll receive an order confirmation, tracking details, and customer support is always here to help you with any questions you have.
DOES TINXX OFFER FINANCING OR PAYMENT PLANS?
Not yet, but we’re working on it! As we grow, we plan to offer financing and payment plans in the future. Stay tuned.
HOW IS YOUR PRICING DETERMINED?
We understand that lab grown diamond pricing can vary widely; you may come across lower prices, or sometimes much higher. At tinxx, we take a fair and consistent approach. Our pricing reflects the quality of our materials, the care and expertise behind each piece, and the standard we maintain across everything from our jewelry to our packaging and customer support.
We use solid 14K or 18K gold, never plated or vermeil. We source our materials ourselves and hand-select diamonds for their cut, clarity, color, and overall quality. Each piece is made to order with care and backed by decades of experience in diamond trading and jewelry manufacturing.
As a small business, kindly understand that we're not able to offer returns or exchanges, including for sizing. Please double-check your measurements before placing your order, and feel free to reach out if you need help. We’re always happy to assist.
DO YOU OFFER MORE SIZES THAN WHAT'S LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE?
Due to the high variance in gold and diamond usage across sizes, we list a limited selection on our website. However, if you’re interested in a different size, please contact us for a tailored quotation.
CAN I SEE PIECES IN PERSON?
tinxx operates primarily online, and many of our clients purchase both website designs and custom pieces entirely through our website, email, and WhatsApp. We regularly guide clients through the process with detailed photos, videos, stone options, measurements, and design updates, so you can make an informed decision without needing to see the piece in person.
For clients in Hong Kong, a small selection of pieces may be available to view by appointment, subject to availability. Please contact us by email or WhatsApp if you would like to inquire.
WHAT CURRENCY ARE YOUR PRICES IN?
Our base prices are set in Hong Kong dollars. Depending on your location, prices may also be displayed in your local currency.
You can change the displayed currency using the currency selector on our website. The currency and final amount charged will be shown at checkout before payment.
Shipping, Delivery, and Returns
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?
Most tinxx pieces are made to order and take approximately 3 to 8 weeks to complete, depending on the design. Pieces requiring specific certified stones, fancy cuts, or custom details may take toward the longer end, as additional time can be required for sourcing and production.
The estimated production time is listed on each product page.
Once your piece is ready, delivery with DHL Express typically takes a further 2 to 6 business days.
WHAT ARE THE TINXX SHIPPING FEES AND DELIVERY TIMES?
Shipping is included on all orders.
For international orders, we ship with DHL Express. Delivery takes 2-6 business days after your order leaves our studio, though customs or remote locations may add extra time.
For local (Hong Kong) orders, we ship by SF Express. Delivery takes 1-2 business days after your order leaves our studio.
A tracking link will be sent to your email once your order is dispatched.
CAN I TRACK MY ONLINE ORDER?
Yes, once your order has been shipped, you'll receive an email with tracking details.
WHERE IS MY ORDER?
Once you place your order, we immediately begin crafting your piece. This includes:
- Sourcing stones
- Adjusting CAD models for your specific size (where applicable)
- Ordering any special gold components
- Production
- Quality control
Each product page lists its estimated production time, typically several weeks. While we work as efficiently as possible, please plan for the full stated timeframe. If ever we need additional time (rare, but possible), we’ll notify you personally via email.
Once complete, your order ships directly from our studio, and you’ll receive a tracking notification. We appreciate your trust. Every piece is made with care, never rushed.
Your shipping confirmation email will provide the tracking details.
As we require a direct signature for all deliveries, if the tracking shows that your parcel has been delivered, please verify if someone else at your address has signed for it or if it was left with a neighbor.
If you haven't received your parcel and no delivery attempt notification has been left, we recommend contacting DHL directly for assistance. They will be able to provide you with more information on the whereabouts of your package. Please have your order number and tracking number ready when reaching out to them.
IS MY ORDER INSURED?
Yes. All tinxx orders are insured in transit for their declared value until delivery.
DO YOU REQUIRE SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY?
Yes, we require a signature upon delivery to ensure your order arrives safely.
DO YOU DELIVER TO PO BOX ADDRESSES?

CAN I CHANGE MY DELIVERY ADDRESS AFTER I HAVE PLACED AN ORDER?
You can change your delivery address if your order hasn't been shipped yet. Please contact our Customer Service team as soon as possible, and we’ll assist you with the change.
WILL I BE CHARGED FOR IMPORT TAXES AND DUTIES UPON ARRIVAL?
No, all duties and taxes are included in the price you pay at checkout, so there are no additional charges upon delivery.
CAN I RETURN OR EXCHANGE AN ITEM?
As all tinxx pieces are made to order, we unfortunately cannot accept returns or exchanges. If you have any concerns about your piece, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll do our best to assist you.
DO YOU OFFER RESIZING?
Unfortunately, resizing is not possible once your jewelry has been made, as each piece is custom-made to order.

If you need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us before confirming your purchase.

DO YOU OFFER ENGRAVING?
Yes, we offer engraving on most of our products. If engraving is available, you will have the option to enter your personalization on the product page, subject to the stated character limits.
CAN I MAKE THE ENGRAVING LONGER?
The character limits shown on each product are what have worked best in the past for legibility and finish. If you’re keen to go longer, please contact us and we’ll check what’s possible for your specific piece. Some designs are simply too small to accommodate more characters. Share what you have in mind, and we’ll advise on feasibility and alternatives.
CAN I CUSTOMIZE THE FONT FOR ENGRAVING?
We use a clean, standard sans serif font for all engravings. At this time, we are not able to offer font customization, but if you have a specific request, please reach out and we’ll do our best to see what’s possible.

If you need to make any changes to the engraving on your order, please contact us within 48 hours of your purchase.

Materials
ARE YOUR DIAMONDS CERTIFIED?
Lab grown diamonds
Lab grown diamonds of 1.00ct and above are accompanied by an IGI grading report and selected to a minimum standard of F color and VS1 clarity. This is the minimum quality standard we use for larger lab-grown diamonds and one we have found to perform beautifully in fine jewelry.
Beyond this baseline, we place greater emphasis on the individual stone, particularly its cut, proportions, and overall appearance. This allows us to focus on finding the best stone for each piece rather than selecting based on color and clarity grades alone.
Smaller lab-grown diamonds are not individually certified, as the cost of grading can be disproportionate to the value of the stone and does not materially change how we assess its quality.
If you have specific preferences for color, clarity, cut, or other grading characteristics, we are happy to source accordingly. You can also request to review the grading report and available stone options before your diamond is set, so we can select the stone together.
Natural diamonds
The natural diamond options priced directly on our website generally feature smaller stones and are not individually certified. Accent and pavé diamonds are also not individually certified, as is standard in fine jewelry, and are instead selected to meet our color, clarity, cut, and overall quality standards.
Natural diamonds above 0.50ct are accompanied by a GIA grading report.
For designs involving larger natural diamonds, generally from around 0.30ct and above, pricing may not be listed directly on the website. Natural diamond prices can vary considerably depending on the individual stone's carat weight, color, clarity, cut, proportions, and grading report, so these stones are quoted individually. This also allows us to source options based on your preferred specifications and budget.
ARE YOUR DIAMONDS RESPONSIBLY SOURCED?
Our diamonds are sourced through long-standing, trusted suppliers we have worked with over decades in the industry. All diamonds are conflict-free and comply with the Kimberley Process based on supplier guarantees.
WHAT GOLD DOES TINXX OFFER?
We offer solid gold in 14K and 18K. 18K gold is composed of 75% pure gold, which gives it its warm, saturated color and luxurious feel. 14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold, with a higher proportion of alloy metals that add extra strength and resilience for everyday wear. Both are solid, fine gold. Choose the one that suits the way you live and wear your jewelry.
WHAT GOLD COLORS DOES TINXX OFFER?
We offer our designs in solid white, yellow, and rose gold, so you can choose the finish that best suits your skin tone and personal style. Whether you lean toward the cool elegance of white gold, the warmth of yellow gold, or the soft, romantic tone of rose gold, each piece is crafted from solid gold for rich color, lasting durability, and a luxurious feel.
IS YELLOW, WHITE, AND ROSE GOLD THE SAME PRICE?
Yes. Because the gold content is exactly the same in all three colors, the pricing does not vary. The difference is purely in color and personal preference, not in value.
