FAQ
​Where Does The Blood Come From?
​
Most of the Artwork is created directly from the client's or their loved ones blood samples.

​
Can It Be Made From My Blood?
Yes, we can take any blood sample and turn it into a custom piece for you.
​
We send the needles and vials with the order, but you’ll need a nurse friend to do the procedure. You can also ask your doctor to assist with the draw, if insured. If neither of those options work, I can locate a mobile phlebotomist for you at a Research fee. Once I find someone to assist, the team will send contact info to set up your appointment. Once you have the sample, it's actually very easy to ship back, especially in you're in the U.S.
This is the process by which you will need to package your sample:

Returns & Refunds
All custom sales are final, but we have a proof and approval process for all clients to ensure the piece is as desired prior to shipping. If unhappy with the results, we can cancel the order and provide a refund minus the deposit if an event-based client.
Privacy Policy
While we do enjoy the positive testimonials of donors and custom orders, we do not share your information with any other parties as having had the process done. No one will know it's a Bloodstone unless you want them to!

Aftercare / Durability
​
Bood Rings are sensitive to heat. The number one thing that clients want to avoid is leaving your ring in a pocket through the Wash/dry cycle of Landry. However, no jewelry is recommended to be submerged in water for prolonged periods. Please do not bathe with the piece. It's also recommended to avoid any situations where your ring will be exposed to temperatures exceeding 105 degrees Fahrenheit for prolonged periods of time.
​
Blood-stones are resin-based and prone to scratching. However, we can re-coat/polish out most damage as long as it's not too severe.
​
If you are concerned with durability, it's recommended to wear your piece for only special occasions, but if you prefer daily wear, you should expect daily tear and more frequent repairs.
​
Design will also be a factor to consider in your decision. A thin band covered in rhinestones will have far many more concerns regarding durability than a thick band made of a tungsten core.
​
In most cases repairs are free. We do offer flat-rate repair services depending on severity, but usually I do not charge for this service.
