You see a proof before we engrave

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything in one place. If yours isn’t here, a person will answer it.

Your mark and photos

What can you engrave?

A fingerprint, handwriting or a drawing, from a photo, on the signets. Or initials, a name, a short line or a date, typed in. Each ring’s page says what it can carry. Footprints are too small to read on a ring face, so we don’t offer them. For a pet’s paw print, email us a photo at hello@lovestamp.com.au first and we’ll tell you honestly whether it will engrave well.

Do I need an ink kit?

No. A clear photo is enough: a finger in daylight, a print card from a hospital, a handwritten card. Our photo guides show how for each kind of mark.

What if my photo isn’t good enough?

We tell you. If the lines are too soft or too faint to engrave well, we say why and ask for another photo before anything is made. We never guess at lines that aren’t there.

What files can I upload?

JPG, PNG or HEIC (the iPhone default), up to 20 MB each.

What happens to my photo?

We keep your original untouched and use it to make and post your piece. We never sell it. We delete it 90 days after delivery, unless you ask us to keep it for reorders. The privacy page has the detail.

Proofs and changes

Will I see it before it’s engraved?

Yes. A person checks every mark and sends you a proof. Nothing is engraved until you say yes.

How long does it take?

Your proof within 1 business day of receiving your mark. Posted within 3 business days of your yes.

Can I change something after I’ve ordered?

The mark and the words, yes, until you approve your proof: tell us what you’d like changed and we send a new one. For anything else, email us at hello@lovestamp.com.au and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Rings and materials

What are the rings made of?

Stainless steel. The 18k gold PVD and black finishes are a hard coating over the steel.

Can I choose the lettering?

Yes. You choose a face for names and dates as you make your piece. Some faces are premium, for $8.

Can I add a gift note?

Yes, free on every order. Free post comes in a gift pouch; for $9 you can swap it for a gift box. Tracked post comes in a box already.

Sizing

What ring sizes do you make?

Whole US sizes, from US 4 to 15 (The Crest), US 4 to 14 (The Ingot and The Medallion), US 7 to 12 (The Cartouche) and US 8 to 10 (The Navette). The Toi et Moi adjusts: it sits at about US 7 and opens gently to about US 10 to 11. Our ring size guide shows how to measure at home.

What if I order the wrong size?

If we haven’t started engraving yet, we can change it at no extra cost. Email us at hello@lovestamp.com.au as soon as you notice.

Shipping and delivery

How much is shipping?

Standard shipping within Australia is free and untracked. Tracked shipping within Australia, standard or express, comes in a gift box and is calculated at checkout.

What if it doesn’t arrive?

If it hasn’t arrived within 14 days of dispatch, we resend it or refund you, your choice. No proof of loss needed.

Is the parcel branded?

Free post comes in a LoveStamp gift pouch, and tracked post in a gift box, inside a plain mailer with no branding outside.

Care and wear

Will it wear?

Engraved into the metal, not printed on it. Stainless steel won’t tarnish. Gold PVD and black wear slowly over the years, with gentle care.

How do I clean it?

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use warm water with a mild soap and pat dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, especially around the engraved areas.

Returns and faults

Can I cancel?

Change your mind before you approve your proof and we refund you in full. After that, because the piece is made for you, we can’t refund a change of mind. Faults are always covered.

What if it’s faulty?

Email us at hello@lovestamp.com.au with a photo. If your piece is faulty or not as described, we repair, replace or refund it, as the Australian Consumer Law requires.

Memorial orders

Can you work from an old or faded photo?

Send it and we’ll look closely. If the lines are too faint to engrave well, we’ll tell you before anything is made, and suggest what might work.

Can you engrave a print a hospital or funeral director took?

Send us a photo of the print card, taken in daylight, and we’ll check it by hand. You never need to post us the original.

Will the parcel say what’s inside?

It comes in a plain mailer, with no branding outside.
