FAQ's

Lead Times

At Marett Precious Metals, we pride ourselves on prompt service and exceptional craftsmanship.

  • In-Stock Items
    Orders for in-stock pieces typically ship out the next business day after your order is placed.

  • Custom & Made-to-Order Items
    For custom work, shipping occurs upon completion of the project. Estimated timelines and production schedules will be clearly outlined in your personalized proposal so you know exactly what to expect.

Custom Work & Quoting Process

Custom orders are where artistry meets precision — and we’re honored to bring your vision to life.

When you request a custom piece, you’ll receive a detailed proposal that includes:

  • A project timeline

  • A breakdown of costs

  • Any materials or design specifics we’ve discussed

We do everything possible to honor the quoted timeframe, and most projects are completed on schedule. However, due to the meticulous nature of our hand-refinement and fabrication process, we appreciate your understanding should a project require additional time to meet our quality standards.

Throughout the entire process, we’ll maintain consistent communication, keeping you updated on your project’s progress every step of the way. Each custom piece is more than just a product — it's a collaborative work of art, crafted exclusively for you.

Product Disclaimers

At Marett Precious Metals, every item we produce is hand-refined, hand-poured, and hand-finished in small batches — using a balance of traditional craftsmanship and modern precision tools like laser embossing. The result is a product that is rich in character, intentionally imperfect, and entirely unique.

Hand-Poured & Custom-Crafted Work

Because of our artisan process, natural traits and variations are not just expected — they’re a sign of authenticity. These may include:

  • Pour lines and cooling marks

  • Layering effects or striation lines formed during solidification (often visible from the sides)

  • Slight asymmetries or soft transitions along edges

  • Minor tool or finishing marks from shaping or engraving

  • Variations in dimensions, weight, or thickness

  • Pits, crevices, and surface texture variations

Even with the use of advanced tools like our laser embosser, these details remain. Laser-engraved elements may exhibit subtle surface variance or texture shifts that differ from the flawless uniformity of mass-produced, die-stamped products. That’s because our goal isn’t perfection — it’s authenticity, depth, and character.

What is not considered acceptable (and extremely rare in our process) includes:

  • Major warping or distortion inconsistent with the piece’s intended form

  • Incorrect or missing engraving or custom design work

  • Severe surface damage unrelated to the creation or shipping process

If you believe your piece falls outside of these standards, please notify us within 5 business days of receiving your order. We're committed to making it right.

Purity & Refinement Standards

We don’t rely on third-party labs — we rely on our process, and that process is deliberately overbuilt for one reason: certainty.

Each batch of precious metal is purified through multiple, rigorous stages that eliminate impurities beyond standard commercial requirements. We refine until there is no doubt — and we’ve consistently produced material that surpasses .999 benchmarks.

We do not issue formal assay reports, but we’re happy to explain our methodology to any customer who wants to understand how and why our metal is so pure. If absolute confidence matters to you, you’re in the right place.
