frequently asked questions
A few questions we hear often, and what to know about how we craft, choose, and stand behind our pieces.
orders & shipping
Rather than mass-producing, most Til Death World pieces are created once they’re chosen — in your exact size and selected gold color. This slower, more intentional process allows them to craft thoughtfully and reduce excess. Your piece begins the moment you decide it’s yours. If you need something immediately, you can explore their ready-to-ship collection.
- Unless otherwise noted, unworn line item jewelry and ready-to-ship one of a kind jewelry may be returned within 10 days of receiving your order.
- Returns are subject to a 10% restocking fee or 100% store credit, along with a $60 insured shipping fee.
- Extended holiday returns: purchases received in December qualify for an extended return window of 30 days.
- Til Death World does not issue refunds, store credit, or exchanges for custom jewelry. Any design modification to our standard line piece moves the piece into the “custom” category as it relates to exchanges and returns (including engravings).
To initiate a return, please email hello@tildeathworld.com. Please note that return shipping costs are the client’s responsibility, although Til Death World can facilitate providing an insured label. Store credit or refund will be issued once the piece is returned to Til Death World and inspected.
- Most of our jewelry is made-to-order meaning that once your order is placed, we will begin production on your piece (so it's brand new!).
- We offer complimentary 2-day shipping (from the date of completion) on all orders and overnight shipping on orders over $5k
- For ready to ship pieces, please allow 1-2 business days for processing, in addition to shipping time.
- Peak and holiday seasons may cause delays.

Resizing your Til Death World piece at a local jeweler voids the Til Death World warranty.
If you have any questions or to begin the repair process please contact hello@tildeathworld.com.
Craftsmanship Warranty:
Til Death World guarantees against all defects of materials and craftsmanship of our jewelry, but it does not cover normal wear and tear, neglect, or accidental damage (see below for guidance). All purchased jewelry goes through a rigorous quality assurance process to ensure that you are receiving a quality product at purchase.
Manufacturing Defects (Included Under Warranty):
- Casting Porosity: Microscopic air pockets captured during the casting phase that compromise structural stability, leading to potential fractures.
- Improper Prong Setting: Prongs misaligned upon creation, resulting in premature gem displacement without external force on melee (up to .20 mm).
- Solder Joint Integrity: Substandard seam connections formed where precious metal pieces were originally joined.
- Insufficient Wall Thickness: Metal structures cast too thin to preserve the setting or adequately retain gemstones.
Standard Wear & Tear (Excluded From Warranty):
- Surface Abrasion: Expected scuffs and scratches acquired from routine daily contact.
- Prong Degradation: Prongs that naturally thin over time due to repeated contact with hard materials.
- Deformed Shanks: Bands becoming misshapen or bent following pressure or physical strain.
- Impact-Induced Loss: Gems becoming dislodged or lost from accidental knocking or severe strikes.
Stones larger than .20mm are not protected under any warranty—insurance should be acquired to cover lost diamonds and gemstones. We recommend having your jewelry inspected every year to keep it in good condition. An insurance policy can also protect against damage or theft.
Full assessment for Craftsmanship Warranties must be completed by Til Death World. If you have any questions please contact hello@tildeathworld.com

products & materials
The Til Death® band is our signature enamel ring lettered "til death," inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry. Read its story, sizing and care answers on The Til Death® Band page.
Yes — Til Death World jewelry is designed to be worn, loved, and lived in. Some gemstones (like opals and pearls) are naturally more delicate and benefit from thoughtful handling.
At a time when gold is more valuable than ever, we believe in using it thoughtfully: never plated, never hollow — always solid. Our fine jewelry is crafted primarily in solid gold (available in yellow, white, and rose). Whenever possible, we prioritize the use of recycled materials.
We offer both 14k and 10k gold across the majority of our designs. If you’re interested in upgrading your piece to 18k, we’re happy to accommodate metal upgrades upon request; simply contact our team for details.
We also offer sterling silver styles crafted from 95% recycled material. Composed of 92.5% pure silver, our sterling pieces are lightweight, durable, and designed for everyday wear.
Gold will naturally develop scratches and wear over time. To keep pieces looking their best, remove jewelry before heavy activity, store separately, and clean gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. If your piece needs a refresh, we offer polishing services for a fee—reach out to us for details.
We hand-source stones through trusted partners globally, focusing on color, character, and ethics. Our diamonds and gemstones are selected for quality and personality.
Thanks to the Kimberley Process and efforts enacted by the United Nations, the modern diamond industry strives to eliminate conflict diamonds and practice ethical procurement. Predating modern conflicts, antique diamonds offer a conflict free solution while reducing the environmental impact.
We do! Our lab-created diamonds are grown using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), where carbon-rich gas layers onto a tiny diamond seed, creating a crystal with exceptional clarity and minimal inclusions. It’s a precise, energy-efficient process that results in stunning, high-quality diamonds.
- Diamonds: Hard and durable, but take off during active or chemical exposure. Clean with an ultrasonic or warm soapy water with a soft brush.
- Garnet: Durable and suitable for everyday wear, though not as hard as diamond or sapphire. Remove before heavy activity or chemical exposure. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners.
- Opal & Onyx: More delicate — remove before chemicals, activity, or swimming. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth (avoid harsh cleaners).
- Pearls: The most delicate – put them on last when dressing and remove first. Avoid hairspray, perfume and moisture. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
Enamel is delicate and should be treated with care. Enamel may fade or chip over time with storage in direct sunlight, application of heat and aggressive wear (especially with lighter enamel colors).
We recommend cleaning your enamel jewelry with only warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Please avoid any at-home ultrasonics and harsh chemicals, which includes skin care products, cosmetics, dyes, colored shampoos & conditioners, cleaning products, and chlorine.
If you need to have your piece re-enameled, a fee of $200 + shipping will apply.
Til Death World recommends removing jewelry before strenuous activities. Precious metals like gold are softer and will show wear over time, so careful handling is important. Annual inspections help catch worn prongs or other issues that can affect the integrity of your pieces.
brand
Til Death World is a new jewelry brand founded by Jillian Sassone. While it shares the same creative DNA and craftsmanship standards she’s known for, Til Death explores a distinct design perspective — moodier, more expressive, and unapologetically bold.
Til Death World was created by Jillian Sassone, founder and creative director of Marrow Fine. Though it is its own brand with a separate identity, it reflects the same commitment to thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. Think of it as a parallel creative universe — connected, but independent.
Marrow Fine centers on heirloom-driven fine jewelry in 14k gold and platinum, rooted in timelessness and sentiment.
Til Death World leans into a darker, more rock-and-roll energy — ethereal, rebellious, and statement-forward. With expanded offerings in 10k gold and sterling silver, the silhouettes are bolder, the details moodier, and the styling more expressive.
