Product

What materials are used in your jewelry?

All Élyséa pieces are crafted in solid gold or silver with gold plating, available across all purities — 9K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K. We also work with platinum. Every gram of raw material is sourced exclusively from suppliers certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), and all gemstones are conflict-free and individually selected.

Do your diamonds come with a certificate?

Yes. Every diamond we set comes with a laboratory certificate from either GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or IGI (International Gemological Institute) — the two globally recognized grading authorities. The certificate includes the stone's cut, color, clarity, carat weight, and a unique report number you can verify independently at gia.edu or igi.org.

Are your diamonds natural or lab-grown?

We offer both. Every product listing clearly states whether the diamond is natural or lab-grown, and this is also declared on the laboratory certificate. Both are graded to the same standard and set with the same care.

How do I choose the right gold purity?

It depends on your lifestyle and preference. 14K is the most durable choice for everyday wear. 18K is the classic fine jewelry standard with a richer color. 22K and 24K are chosen for their deep gold tone and investment character. If you are unsure, our team in New York is happy to guide you — contact us at info@elyseafinejewelry.com.

Are your products designed for specific occasions or everyday wear?

Both. Some Élyséa pieces are designed as quiet, wearable daily pieces — built to be worn constantly and last a lifetime. Others are statement pieces made for moments that deserve to be marked. Every product page describes the intended wear style to help you choose.

Where are your products made?

Élyséa is based in New York City. Our pieces are crafted by a global network of master goldsmithers, bringing centuries of fine jewelry technique to every setting. All raw materials are RJC-certified and fully traceable from source to finished piece.

Shipping

What shipping options do you offer?

We offer standard and express shipping on all orders. All Élyséa orders are fully insured and shipped in secure, signature-required packaging. Shipping options and costs are displayed at checkout based on your location.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping typically takes 5–7 business days. Express shipping is available for delivery within 2–3 business days. Custom and bespoke orders have individual timelines communicated at the time of order confirmation.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship to most countries worldwide. International shipping times and costs vary by destination and are calculated at checkout. Please note that import duties and taxes may apply depending on your country and are the responsibility of the recipient.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number and a link to monitor your shipment in real time. If you have not received tracking information within 2 business days of your order, please contact us at info@elyseafinejewelry.com.

Returns

Can I return or exchange an item if it doesn't fit or meet my expectations?

Yes. We accept returns on eligible pieces within 30 days of delivery. The item must be unworn, in its original condition, and returned with all original packaging, documentation, and laboratory certificates intact. Custom and bespoke pieces are not eligible for return unless faulty.

How do I initiate a return or exchange?

Email us at info@elyseafinejewelry.com with your order number and reason for return. Our team will respond within 1–2 business days with return instructions and a prepaid shipping label where applicable.

What is the condition of the item when returning it?

Items must be returned unworn and undamaged, in their original Élyséa packaging, with all accompanying documentation — including the laboratory diamond certificate and any care materials. Returns that arrive without certification or in damaged condition may not be accepted.

Do I get a full refund for returned items?

Yes, eligible returns receive a full refund to the original payment method. Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days of us receiving and inspecting the returned item. Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to a fault on our part.
