How Long Does It Take to Make a Memorial Ring? | WildBeard Legacy Co
How Long Does It Take to Make a Memorial Ring?
The honest answer: most custom memorial rings at WildBeard Legacy Co have a production time of 3–6 weeks from the time we receive your memorial materials and confirm your design. Here's what that timeline looks like and what affects it.
The Full Timeline
- Consultation: 1–3 days to schedule and complete your design consultation
- Design confirmation: We send you a written summary of the design; you review and confirm — typically 1–2 days
- Deposit and materials shipping: You place your deposit and ship your memorial materials to us — shipping time varies by location, typically 2–5 business days
- Production: 3–6 weeks from receipt of your materials and design confirmation
- Photo approval: We send photos of the finished ring for your approval before shipping — typically 1–2 days
- Shipping to you: 1–3 business days depending on your location
Total time from first contact to ring in hand: typically 5–8 weeks.
What Affects Production Time
- Design complexity: Rings with multiple inlay materials or complex designs take longer than single-inlay rings
- Resin curing: Resin inlays require full curing time — we don't rush this step
- Current order volume: Production time may be longer during peak periods; we'll give you a specific estimate during your consultation
- Material availability: Exotic materials like specific wood species or meteorite may require sourcing time
Can You Rush Production?
In some cases, we can accommodate expedited timelines. If you have a specific deadline — an anniversary, a birthday, a meaningful date — let us know during your consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether it's achievable.
Planning for a Gift
If you're commissioning a memorial ring as a gift for a specific occasion, plan for the full 5–8 week timeline from first contact. If you're working with a tight deadline, reach out immediately and we'll assess what's possible.
