FAQs
How do you pronounce "Psyche"?
\sī-kē\ -- rhymes with high-key.
What is the story behind the brand name?
Claire, the founder of PFJ, studied Classical Civilization and Psychology in college, so "Psyche" is a nod to her degrees and passions. Psyche is both a character from Greek mythology and the term used in psychology to refer to the human mind and personality.
What is the difference between Classics, Exclusives, and Basics?
The Psyche collection is divided into three distinct categories, each designed to cater to different aspects of your jewelry needs. Psyche Artisan Classics are timeless pieces available both on our website and through select retail partners. Psyche Artisan Exclusives are unique creations found exclusively on our website, offered directly to consumers without the traditional retail markup. Lastly, Psyche Basics are foundational jewelry essentials crafted by trusted wholesalers in the USA. While not part of our artisan line, these pieces maintain our commitment to ethical standards and mindfully sourced materials.
Where is the jewelry made?
All original Psyche pieces from the Classics and Exclusives lines are made by our expert goldsmith in our hometown of Chicago, IL. Our chains and Psyche Basics come from trusted wholesalers who are primarily US-based and have been vetted and chosen for their commitment to transparency and alignment with Psyche values.
What materials do you work with?
All of our jewelry is crafted with 14 karat and 18 karat recycled gold and conflict-free, natural gemstones and diamonds.
We proudly use natural, conflict-free CanadianMark and reclaimed diamonds in our designs. We commit to always partnering with like-minded wholesalers and gem cutters who provide as much transparency about stone origins as possible and whose values align with the goals for Psyche.
Do you ever use lab-created stones?
We only use natural stones in our creations.
Can you use one of my stones in one of your designs?
Please reach out to info@psychefinejewelry.com. Use of customer-owned stones is done on a case-by-case basis.
Do you do offer custom design services?
Yes! If you would like to create a custom Psyche piece, please reach out to info@psychefinejewelry.com. We can customize any existing Psyche Fine Jewelry design, e.g., if you would like to create your own Delphi Solitaire Ring or Artemis Signet Ring we will help source the stone and custom-make your dream ring. There is a non-refundable $150 finders fee for sourcing the stone options for your design. Should you move forward with creating your piece, the fee will be deducted from your total.

Can I custom-order something in a different metal?
We are happy to make any of our original designs in 22 karat yellow gold or platinum upon request. These changes will have different prices than listed on the website due to the customization. Please email us to get started.
Please note we do not offer any designs in sterling silver, vermeil, brass, or other base metals.
Any Psyche Basics piece that does not already have 18 karat gold or white and rose gold options on the product page is unavailable for ordering in those options.
