Honest Solitaire is a small Canadian business. We operate with various teams to complete and outsource our rendering/production/delivery/shipping services. This allows us to have the most competitive pricing possible while also supporting other small businesses/contractors/Canadian services. Due to this, you will receive communication during the design, order processing, payment, rendering and shipping notification stages only. Once an order has left the payment and/or rendering stage (in the case of custom/customized orders), there will be no updates during the production stage until the shipping/pick-up stage, which is when the order is ready for pick-up or the tracking number is sent to the customer. This allows us to spend more time making sure everyones orders are being created in an efficient manner and hours are spent delivering product to you instead opposed to collecting updates from various parties and teams. At this time we do not have an automated system capable of managing updates detailed enough to handle the nature of our work. 90% of our orders are custom and each have their own time frame based on the line up of orders or the complexity of the designs. There is simply no way of having an automated system capable of providing accurate updates.
During this stage, your selection is made on our website or we are quoting your custom design idea.
At this time payment is received for your order in accordance with the requirements for your order type.
During this time, your credit card payment will take up to 5 business days to process. Once payment is received, we will begin ordering your stone cutting, materials, digital imaging and final design specs. This entire processing stage can take up to 3 weeks during an average work load.
If you have placed a custom design order, we will provide you with the renders for approval. Edits will be made during this time until you are happy with the design. There is no time frame set for this stage as it can take 3-5 working days for each communicated edit to be received and worked on. The designers with Honest Solitaire draw out the changes by hand, and are submitted to the digital render teams.
Once a Made-To-Order or custom design is finalized, production begins. This involves 3D rendering/wax mould printing, gold casting, stone setting, polishing etc. This process usually takes 3-6 weeks during a normal work flow. There are no updates provided during this time.
Once the order is released by the stone setters, we will clean, sterilize and box your order. We will ship it out and forward you the tracking information once it is on the way. Shipping times are usually 2-7 days depending on region and country.
