If you have any specific questions or require further information, please feel free to browse our website or contact us.
How will my order be packaged?
All orders are meticulously packaged in a box, a bag and tissue paper, all specially made for Hëlinga. For all online orders, the shipping packaging is unidentifiable to avoid any incident during delivery.
SOURCING & CERTIFICATION
Where are your creations made?
All our jewels are handcrafted with excellence in our workshop in the heart of Paris. Every stage of production, from the first design to the final polish, is subjected to the expertise of our craftsmen. These craftsmen, who have all worked for jewelers on the Place Vendôme, ensure that each piece is of impeccable quality.
What kind of gold do you use for your creations?
Our collections are made exclusively from recycled 18K gold. This eliminates the need for additional mining, helping to reduce the use of destructive extraction methods and minimize the resulting environmental impact.
By using recycled gold, we significantly reduce our ecological footprint and actively participate in creating a more planet-friendly future.
Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes — lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They have the same chemical composition, crystal structure, brilliance, hardness, and durability as natural diamonds. The only difference lies in their origin: instead of being mined from the earth, they are created in controlled environments that replicate the natural conditions in which diamonds form.
At Hëlinga, this choice is self-evident — it protects the beauty of nature while celebrating the beauty of each piece.
Which method have you chosen for the creation of your lab-grown diamonds?
Hëlinga has chosen the HPHT method (High Pressure High Temperature), an advanced technique that replicates the extreme pressure and heat conditions required to form a diamond. This process results in stones with intense brilliance, perfectly crystallized structures, and naturally vibrant colors — particularly ideal for colorless or near-colorless diamonds.
The outcome: exceptional gems, matching the quality of the finest natural diamonds.
Each stone is carefully selected according to the highest standards of quality: color grade D to F (colorless), high clarity (VVS to VS), and Ideal or Excellent cut, ensuring a truly remarkable shine.
Why choose lab-grown diamonds?
A low-impact, environmentally conscious alternative
The mining industry is known for its devastating effects: ecosystem destruction, massive CO₂ emissions, excessive water use, and, in some regions, human exploitation.
By choosing lab-grown diamonds, Hëlinga significantly reduces its environmental footprint. Producing a lab-grown diamond requires up to 7 times less water and emits nearly 20 times less CO₂ than a mined diamond.
It’s a responsible choice, fully aligned with the brand’s values of transparency, sustainability, and respect.
Free from conflict zones, aligned with our values
Unlike some natural diamonds that may originate from conflict zones — where their trade can finance violence or political instability — lab-grown diamonds are fully traceable and created within an ethical framework.
This choice allows Hëlinga to eliminate any ambiguity about the origin of its stones and to ensure that every piece of jewelry reflects not only visible beauty, but also strong human values.
Certified stones, for conscious fine jewelry
Each diamond selected by Hëlinga is certified by an independent laboratory, guaranteeing its quality, clarity, method of creation, and reduced environmental impact.
With a direct supply chain, free of intermediaries, we ensure full traceability and total transparency — allowing us to offer high-quality jewelry, without compromise, at its fair value.
Where can I find and try out your creations?
At present, our collections are available exclusively on our website. However, if you'd like to try out our creations, we offer appointments on request so that we can discuss and introduce you to the world of Hëlinga. Simply contact us to arrange an appointment.
MAINTENANCE, DEADLINES AND SIZING
Why is it necessary to allow 4 weeks for production?
Once you have placed your order, we begin the manufacturing process. This includes the careful selection of stones, as well as the meticulous work of our expert craftsmen through various stages of creation, including polishing and setting. Each piece of jewelry undergoes rigorous quality control before being delivered to you, ensuring that it meets our high standards, but we promise to keep you regularly informed throughout the process to ensure that your piece of jewelry is made to the highest standards of quality and precision.
What are the different ring sizes and how can I find my ring size?
You can find a measurement guide here to help you find your size.
How do I care for and clean my jewelry?
Maintaining and cleaning your jewelry is essential to preserving its beauty and brilliance over time. We recommend cleaning it regularly with a soft cloth and a lukewarm water solution. Be sure to dry them thoroughly after cleaning.
Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals.
It's also a good idea to store your jewelry in individual cases or pouches, to avoid scratches and rubbing. By following these simple tips, your jewels will retain their brilliance and elegance for generations to come.
PAYMENTS
What methods of payment are accepted on the site or during appointments?
On our site, you can use several credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and China UnionPay and Paypal worldwide.
If you prefer to make a purchase in person at an appointment, the same payment options are available via an electronic payment terminal (EPT). Payment by bank transfer is also an option.
Would you like to place an order by phone?
Please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be delighted to guide you through the process of ordering your jewelry by telephone.
