Most orders are shipped right away. 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold and silver rings are usually in stock. 18K or colored golds usually take less than 3 weeks. Platinum can take 4weeks. Goods that we get from suppliers in Scotland or Ireland are usually in stock, but can take a while if they are not. We are glad to quote inventory status of any item. Just call 800 488 6347. In the past we have been very good about having items in stock even up to Christmas. It is still wise to order early for your best chances of excellent service and selection.
