Our Order Processing & Production Timelines
At Prostatia, each piece of jewelry is lovingly handcrafted to order—there’s no back‑stock gathering dust. Our atelier operates on a queuing system: once you place your order, it joins a dedicated line of custom creations in progress. We collaborate closely with master jewelers in New York and the Netherlands, ensuring every beautiful piece of jewelry is rendered with exquisite care.
------------------------------------------------------
Why We Need Time
Made‑to‑Order Craftsmanship: Like commissioning a hand-written/painted icon or chiseled sculpture, your jewelry takes thoughtful fabrication rather than instant retrieval from shelves.
Standard Production Window: Please allow 30 days from purchase to delivery (our current baseline). During peak holiday seasons, this timeframe may extend slightly—your patience ensures uncompromised quality.
Custom & Special Requests: If you request a design that is not offered directly on our site, kindly add one extra week to the standard timeline.
------------------------------------------------------
What to Expect
On most occasions, pieces arrive sooner than the 30–40 day window, thanks to our streamlined workflow and strong partnerships. All timelines remain subject to change during high‑volume periods. We’ll keep you informed of any adjustments.
------------------------------------------------------
Please Plan Ahead
To honor life’s significant moments—weddings, baptisms, anniversaries—please plan your order at least 30 days in advance. For entirely custom commissions, consider a 40–day buffer. This foresight allows us to craft your piece without haste and deliver it on time for your special occasion. We’re continually expanding our capacity by deepening collaborations with our New York and Dutch ateliers. Thank you for supporting our small operation and for trusting us to transform precious metals into wearable stories of faith. Your patience inspires our pursuit of perfection.
