MOST EXCITING PART
PLACING A REQUEST
We advise you to start placing a request by either filling in the order form on our website, or writing us directly at ask@touchskindeep.com. If you are in a hurry, feel free to use our business WhatsApp
number +40745 386 367. We kindly ask you to not abuse this line.
We have also created a quiz to help us better understand your personality and your aesthetic views. It is optional and you can find it embedded in the Order Form page.
GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
After placing this request, and/or filling in the quiz, one of our customer service colleagues will contact
you to confirm it and connect you to the designer for starting the process. Depending on your request,
we will either schedule a video call or simply continue in writing. This process takes about 24-48 hours.
VIDEO CALLS & PERSONAL CONSULTANCY
This step is necessary to better understand you, your creative view and taste.
You may choose to skip this step but we highly recommend not to. It usually takes up to 1,5 hours, of which the first hour is free.* It is a great experience, you’ll see.
* first hour of consultancy if free only on your first order ever.
NEXT STEPS
Once we’ve established the design, our creative mind will need up to 5 working days to sketch your desired jewellery (depending on the amount of work they are loaded with). A drawing or a 3D simulation, it should reach you in the following work week.
PRODUCTION STEPS
ALL THE STUFF YOU DIDN'T KNOW AND WERE TOO SHY TO ASK
As soon as you agreed on the final design, (which includes 1 correction) the sketch will be sent to production. Depending on the desired material, production will take as follows:
Silver — up to 10 working day manufacture time
Gold — up to 20 days manufacture time
Shipping — up to 7 working days
That brings us to a total of roughly 3 weeks for silver and over 4 weeks for gold.
Please keep this in mind when placing a custom-made order.
Very important details!
There may be the case of the production company’s setting a minimum order of 20 pieces.
That’s why sometimes, we couple more orders and then send them for manufacturing. Either way
we will try to keep it as short as possible.
We reserve the right to change the prices every few months. Every customised order requires a downpayment of 50% from the final cost. This downpayment will be invoiced in the beginning and subtracted from the final invoice.
The first hour of your first ever online workshop is free of charge. The extra calls hours will be charged
with a price of 0,5 euro/minute.
What we need from you:
1. either have a clear idea what you want or fill in the quiz
2. calculate your budget forehand
3. Deadline — keep in mind the production timeline
4. Delivery address
5. Agreeing to these terms, which will also be sent to you privately
Please keep in mind:

FAQs
IF YOU'RE STILL LOST
1. Who made my jewellery?
We work with the best suppliers and manufacturers from Romania, Austria and soon, NYC. Most of them are independent workers, small business owners or free-lancers.

6. What if I change my mind? Can I cancel?
If you placed a request for making a custom-made jewellery and have not reached the actual designing phase, it should be fine. This means 24 hours after receiving the confirmation e-mail.

7. How do I store my jewellery?
Jewellery is sensitive to humidity and air quality. Storing it in a dry place may be the best you can do. Never store more jewellery pieces in one box and remember that wearing it will change its appearence.
Buy a special jewellery cloth to clean it from time to time. We recommend storing it in one of our boxes.

Just let us know in an e-mail or leave us a message on our WhatsApp business number and we make it happen. If you cant to set up a meeting, same rules apply.
