Complimentary shipping on all domestic orders over $1,000

Shipping & Delivery

Upon FoundRae’s receipt of your order, you will receive an order confirmation via email. We will send you an email with a tracking number once your order has shipped.

In Stock Items: In-stock pieces will be subject to 2–3 days of processing time prior to being shipped.

Out-of-Stock Items/Special Orders: Out-of-stock pieces typically require a 6–8 week lead time, as they need to be specially made and require an extended production time prior to shipping. If this is the case with your order, a member of our Client Care team will be in touch to let you know and provide an accurate special order timeframe.

Custom/Engraving Orders: Custom orders require a 6–8 week lead time, as they need to be specially made. The engraving process typically takes 2-3 weeks, although the lead times for engraving tend to run a bit longer during the holiday season. We can accommodate some rush orders on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to us at clientcare@foundrae.com to see if we can accommodate your desired date. Custom and engraved pieces are final sale.

Please email us at clientcare@foundrae.com to inquire about the status of your order.

There are some countries which cannot be processed online, including but not limited to Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, and Switzerland. Client Care can support with purchase for some countries that are not available on our website. These clients will still pay duties and taxes when they receive their jewelry in their home country.

FoundRae is not responsible for any duties or taxes incurred by the country to which we are shipping. All international orders are subject to duties and taxes and will be added to the order total at checkout. Duties and taxes are calculated based on the items ordered, shipment destination, and the value of the purchase. Select countries require duties and taxes to be paid upon delivery, and they will be the customer’s responsibility. For full transparency before you order, this will be noted at checkout.

Please note that for sales outside of the United States or the United Kingdom, payment is collected and processed by our international shipping partner, Global-E. You can find Global-E's terms and conditions on their website.
