Most pieces are made to order. I keep production limited and don’t produce in volume.

Most pieces are made to order and typically ship within 2–4 weeks, unless otherwise noted. Some designs take a bit longer depending on the build - timing is always listed on each product page.

If a piece is in stock, it will ship within 1–2 business days. If you’re hoping to have something by a specific date, feel free to reach out - I’m happy to let you know what’s possible.

I work primarily in solid 18k and 22k gold.

The color is richer and the material has more presence. It doesn’t feel bright or overly finished—it has a natural golden warmth to it.

22k gold is a softer metal, so it responds to wear. With time — your skin, daily contact, small nicks —the surface starts to shift. It becomes your own, and no two end up exactly the same.

Yes. My pieces are meant to be worn daily. Loved in and lived in.

It holds its shape, but it will show wear over time. That’s part of working in high-karat gold — and the beauty of what YOUR piece becomes.

Each piece is finished by hand. Surfaces, of 22k gold pieces, aren’t high-polish or machine-perfect —small variations are part of the work.

High-karat gold has more density than lower alloys, so pieces carry a noticeable weight and presence when worn.

The most accurate way is to be sized in person by a jeweler. If that’s not possible, contact me and I can help guide you.

Some can, depending on the design — feel free to ask if you’re unsure.

Yes, this is a big part of what I do. Would be so happy to start a custom project with you - contact me to chat about an idea: sh@staciehess.com

It starts with a conversation. From there we design, pick a stone if needed, refine the piece together and move into production.

Usually around 4–8 weeks, depending on the piece.
