Questions? We get those a lot.

Do I need an appointment to visit the store?

Saturdays are appointment-based — booking ahead guarantees dedicated one-on-one time, and walk-ins are welcome when space allows. Monday through Friday, come by anytime; we recommend appointments for engagement ring and diamond consultations so we can give you our full attention. Book through our website, Instagram, TikTok, or by phone.

How long does it take to make a ring?

Most made-to-order and custom pieces take up to 14 business days — about three weeks — depending on the design. We'll give you a timeline when you order and keep you updated throughout.

What notes should I include in my appointment request?

So we can prepare for your visit, include anything specific you'd like to cover and the budget range you're comfortable with. That way we can have the right selection ready and waiting when you arrive.

Does Icing On The Ring offer financing?

Yes — we offer financing through Affirm as well as an in-house layaway plan, available both in-store and online. Ask us about current offers and we'll help you find the option that fits.

Am I able to schedule a visit with a requested advisor?

Yes! Just add their name to your notes when booking online, and we'll confirm their availability.
