FAQ's - Everything you need to know

How do I make sure I order the right ring size?

We’ve got you covered with our Perfect Fit Method.
As soon as you place your order, we’ll send you a ring sizer - completely free - to the address you used at checkout. Instructions are included, and we use only industry-standard Durston tools.

We ask for a size during checkout, but we don’t start making your ring until you confirm your final size using our sizer (even if it’s the same). This ensures a ring that fits perfectly, the first time.

What if I got my ring size wrong?

We confirm every size before we send out your ring. But if it arrives and the fit isn’t quite right just contact us within a month of delivery with your corrected size, post the ring back to us, and we’ll adjust it free of charge. You only cover the return shipping to us and back.

 

Are your coins real?

Yes! Every Mintique ring is made from genuine, pre-circulated sterling silver coins that were once used as real currency — no fakes, no casts, no replicas.

You may find other products similar to ours on different sites that use 'fake' or imitation coins, some are even casts of designs repeated over and over again. 

By using authentic coins you can be assured that your piece will be unique and made to order just for you.That means your piece is truly unique, with history in every detail.

 

Why use sterling silver for rings?

All our rings are made from sterling silver coins — often dating back a century or more.

Sterling silver is:

  • Durable enough for everyday wear
  • Stronger than gold
  • Gentle on skin (no discolouration)
  • Rich with natural beauty
  • Increasing in value every day

How do I care for my ring?

Your ring will arrive beautifully polished, and will hold its shine through daily wear.
To refresh the sparkle for special occasions, use:

  • A soft microfibre cloth
  • Optional: a little Silvo Silver Polish Wadding
