Products & Materials

We work with manufacturers in Los Angeles and New York. This gives us better control over quality and ensures that our makers are fairly compensated and working under safe conditions. Most of our necklace and bracelet chains are made in Italy. Read more here.

Are all of your pieces made with 14k solid gold?

All of our yellow gold pieces are made with 14k solid gold (not plated or filled). Learn more here.

Where do you source your gold and diamonds?

We only work with vendors with high ethical standards and knowledge of the supply chain. That means, the gold that we use are regulated and certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). With these regulations, gold is sourced from a Fairmined Certified Mining Organization. This is also regulated and backed by a 3rd party audit that ensures the artisanal mining organizations meet the standards at all times. Our stones are conflict free and goes through the Kimberly Process (KP). Most of our stones are cut and polished here in downtown Los Angeles, while some are cut in Canada. You can read more about it here.

I don't know my ring size. Do you have a ring sizer?

Yes, download our printable ring sizer HERE.

Alternatively, you can visit your local jeweler to get sized.

How do I care for my Kinn pieces?

To extend the life of your pieces, remove them while using harsh chemicals, lotions, beauty products, and perfumes. Do not wear while performing any strenuous activity or lifting heavy objects. We also recommend removing them in extreme heat and humidity, and while swimming in chlorine. 

Clean your Kinn pieces with a soft bristle toothbrush and a small amount of diluted dish soap. Scrub gently under warm water. Let your pieces air dry in a safe place.

Do your products have a warranty?

Yes, our warranty covers one complimentary repair within six months of order delivery, given that the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect. Our warranty does not cover lost pieces, improper storage of a piece, or any modification made to a piece by a third party.

Please fill out the Repair Service form HERE for any repair requests. Please note that repairs can take up to 6-8 weeks.

With the purchase of our Kinn Concierge Service, our warranty extends to three years from the delivery date of the original order.

Please note that most Kinn pieces are handmade and may have attributes that vary slightly from what is portrayed on our website. These are not defects and will not be repaired.

Do you provide repairs?

For pieces outside of our warranty, please purchase our repair service HERE, and please fill out the Repair Service form HERE for any repair requests. Please note that repairs can take up to 6-8 weeks.

Can I send my Kinn jewelry back to be engraved?

Yes, you can send your Kinn jewelry back to our studio to be engraved. Please purchase our engraving service HERE and email us at hey@kinnstudio.com to request our shipping address.

Do you make custom jewelry?

Yes, we accept custom jewelry orders. For custom and repurpose inquiries, please fill out the form HERE.

Please note that custom pieces typically take at least 4-6 weeks to complete once our team begins production.

Why do you include the gold weight of each piece in product details?

Today, precious metal weights and values are almost never disclosed. Lack of transparency enables modern jewelry brands to earn up to 80% of the original purchase price as revenue, and is why jewelry fails to maintain its value. The weight of a gold object is measured in troy ounces, and the price of gold per ounce is the same across the world.

Vow

Can I get my Vow engagement ring or wedding band engraved?

Yes, we can engrave the inside of any engagement ring or wedding band for a fee of $60. 

We offer York Script and Arial fonts. The engraving may include up to 12 characters, letters and numbers only, no special characters.

Please note that once a ring is engraved, if it needs to be resized, the engraving may need to be redone and the client will incur an additional $60 fee.

Can I get my Vow engagement ring or wedding band resized?

Should you need a second resizing, please reach out to vow@kinnstudio.com, and we will provide you with a quote.

Due to the nature of our wedding bands, we can only resize select rings. You can purchase our resizing service HERE. All other wedding bands are eternity style and cannot be modified.

How long does it take to get a Vow ring made?

Our Vow warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, improper care and storage, or third party repairs. Additionally, scratches, lost or stolen pieces, and discoloration from use of harsh chemicals do not fall under our warranty.

Each Vow ring is handmade to order. Due to the nature of each piece, slight variations are normal.
