FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about your CINCO order and jewelry.
ORDERS
Why haven't I received my order confirmation?
Every order is confirmed by email. Check your spam or promotions folder first. If it isn't there, email [email protected] with the name used at checkout and we'll resend it.
Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
You can cancel free of charge by emailing [email protected] within one hour of placing your order. After that, your order may already be in preparation and changes cannot be guaranteed. During promotional campaigns such as Black Friday, orders cannot be cancelled once placed. If cancellation is no longer possible, you can refuse the delivery and we'll issue a full refund once the parcel reaches us.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, then shipped. Engraved, on-demand and pre-order pieces may need additional preparation time, shown on the product page or at checkout.
What does "on demand" or "pre-order" mean?
The piece isn't immediately in stock and is being produced or reserved for you. The estimated shipping timeframe is shown when you order.
Can I order in-stock and on-demand pieces together?
Yes. Combined in one order, the shipment follows the longest preparation time.
Where can I buy CINCO?
At cinco-store.com and through selected authorized retailers. For stockists near you, email [email protected].
How can I track my order?
You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships. If the tracking hasn't updated or you need help, contact [email protected].
SIZE GUIDE
How do I find my ring size?
Our Size Guide shows you how to measure at home and compare against our sizing.
How do I choose the right necklace or bracelet length?
The Size Guide includes measurements and shows how each length sits. If you're between sizes, Customer Care can help you decide.
Can a ring be resized?
We offer resizing and length adjustments on eligible pieces. Email [email protected] with the piece and the size you need for pricing and timing.
PAYMENTS
What payment methods do you accept?
Major cards and the local payment options available in your country. The full list for your location appears at checkout.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. All transactions are encrypted and processed through secure payment providers. We never store your card details.
Can I use more than one promotional code?
No, unless stated otherwise. Promotional codes can't be combined with each other or with other site promotions.
SAFETY & QUALITY
Is CINCO jewelry nickel-free?
Our precious-metal jewelry is produced and certified in Portugal in line with Portuguese and European requirements on restricted substances, including nickel.
Can I wear CINCO jewelry if I have sensitive skin?
Our pieces are made from certified precious metals under Portuguese and EU regulations. Individual sensitivities still vary, so anyone with a history of severe allergic reactions should speak to a dermatologist.
What is the difference between certified jewelry and costume jewelry?
Certified precious-metal jewelry has a legally defined composition and is subject to official hallmarking and verification. CINCO's precious-metal pieces are produced in Portugal under that regulated framework.
JEWELRY CARE
How should I care for my jewelry?
Put it on last, after perfume, skincare and makeup, and take it off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Wipe it gently after wear and store each piece in its CINCO pouch, in a cool dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight.
How should I clean my jewelry?
For 925 sterling silver, use a soft, lint-free cloth regularly; for a deeper clean, mild soap, warm water and a very soft brush, then rinse and dry completely. For gold-plated pieces, use only a soft, dry cloth and avoid polishing cloths, abrasive products, detergents and prolonged contact with water, as these strip the plating.
Will gold plating last forever?
No. Plating is a finish, and it wears naturally over time depending on skin chemistry, perspiration, water, perfume, cosmetics and heat. That's normal wear, not a defect. Many pieces can be re-plated through our Refresh & Reborn service: email [email protected] with photos and we'll send you an estimate.
PRODUCT & MATERIALS
What materials does CINCO use?
Primarily 925 sterling silver, 18ct gold-plated 925 sterling silver and solid gold, depending on the piece. The exact composition is listed on every product page.
Is CINCO jewelry certified?
Yes. Our precious-metal jewelry is officially hallmarked and certified by the INCM Assay Office, as required in Portugal. It is designed and handmade in Portugal by Portuguese jewelers, under strict quality control.
Does CINCO jewelry have a warranty?
Yes, 3 years from the date of delivery against manufacturing defects. Your invoice and order number are your proof of purchase, so there's no separate warranty card. Normal wear, accidental damage, loss, improper use or storage, and work done by another jeweler are not covered.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES
Can I return my order?
Yes, within 14 days of receiving it. Pieces must be returned unworn and in their original condition and packaging, including any gifts, which are considered part of the product. Trying a piece on is fine; signs of wear or alteration are not.
Are there items I can't return?
Yes. Custom and engraved pieces are made for you and cannot be returned or exchanged.
How do I start a return or exchange?
Use our Returns Portal and enter your order details. You'll receive the instructions and the return documents needed to complete it.
SHIPPING
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Some remote destinations have limited options; contact us if you're unsure about yours.

Processing takes 1–2 business days. Delivery after dispatch:
Portugal: 1–3 working days
Spain: 1–3 working days
EU Zone 1: 3–5 working days
EU Zone 2: 4–6 working days

Do I have to pay customs or import taxes?
