Frequently Asked Questions

When Will My Order Ship?

Each piece is made to order. Please allow 3–4 weeks for crafting and shipment.

How Is My Order Made?

Your chosen location is translated by our map tool into a precise 3D pattern. We 3D-print in castable wax, then lost-wax cast in your selected precious metal. Every piece is hand-finished in the USA and matched to the exact rendering you approved in Preview Your Piece.

How Will My Order Arrive?

Orders ship via USPS Priority Mail in a True Coordinates gift box with a microfiber pouch. We include a printed image of the exact design you created, plus a QR code to reopen the live 3D view.

Are Street Names Displayed on the Jewelry?

No. Street names appear only in the design tool to help you compose your piece; they are not engraved on the jewelry.

How Do I Use the True Coordinates Map Tool?

  1. Choose your jewelry type (Small/Medium/Large Round Pendant, Earrings, Cufflinks, or Tie Bar).
  2. Enter a place, city, or address.
  3. Drag to frame your design and zoom to your desired level of street detail.
  4. Pick your metal (and chain length, when applicable).
  5. Tap Preview Your Piece to see a true-to-scale 3D rendering of your exact design, then add to cart.

Your cart thumbnail and order reference use this exact rendering as our build guide.

What’s the QR Code For?

Each piece includes a QR code (and link) to reopen your design online and view a live 3D preview of your exact map and metal choice—perfect for sharing or revisiting later.

How Accurate Is the 3D Preview?

What you see is what we cast. The Preview Your Piece render matches your selected map geometry and metal finish. Very fine lines are responsibly simplified for strength, but street layout and proportions are preserved.

Will the Cart Image Match My Final Piece?

Yes. The cart thumbnail is generated from the exact rendering we use to build your piece.

Do You Save My Design for Reorders?

Yes. Your order’s QR code reopens your live 3D view. We retain the rendering tied to your order so you (or a gift recipient) can reorder or request a matching piece later.

Can I Change or Cancel After Ordering?

We begin production quickly. If you need to make a change, contact us within 24 hours—we’ll do our best to accommodate before the casting stage.

What If the Address or a New Development Doesn’t Appear?

  • Search a nearby landmark or cross-street and drag the map to your exact spot.
  • If it still doesn’t appear, send us a pin or coordinates—we’ll help position it manually.

How Do I Care for My Jewelry?

Sterling Silver: Store dry. Polish with a soft lint-free cloth. For tarnish, use a mild baking-soda paste; rinse and dry. Avoid dips or abrasives.

Gold Vermeil: Treat like fine jewelry—avoid abrasives, harsh chemicals, and prolonged water exposure to preserve the 2.5-micron gold layer. Wipe with a soft cloth only.

14K Gold (Yellow/Rose/White): Soak briefly in warm water with mild soap; brush gently with a soft bristle brush; rinse and dry.

Water, Sweat, and Daily Wear

Normal day-to-day wear is fine. Remove before swimming, workouts, or contact with perfumes/lotions to keep the finish pristine—especially for Vermeil.

Repeat Buyer - Thank You True Coordinates

The craftsmanship and care from Dan at True Coordinates are a masterclass in customer service. This necklace is more than jewelry; it’s an integral piece of our love story—worn for our 2022 wedding, originally a Valentine's Day 2018 gift. When the original was lost, Dan performed an absolute rescue, meticulously tracking down our old order to recreate this precious sentimental piece. The quality is stunning, and my wife's joy on our 3rd anniversary when I gave her the replacement was priceless. She is thrilled and rarely takes it off. True Coordinates and Dan, you're the best!

Beautiful Jewelry and WONDERFUL Company

If I could rate them one hundred stars I would.
I ordered a custom map pendant May of 2019. We all know what was going on during that time, so my order got delayed for over a year. It was actually refunded and then one day in August of 2020 it showed up in my mailbox and I could not have been more surprised and happier with what I got.
I have worn it every single day since I've received it and it is still in just as good of shape as it was the day I got it. I shower in it. I sleep in it. It is a very solid piece of jewelry. If they only made rings I would order one.
That's actually what brought me back to the website. I have occasionally checked to see if they were back open and they weren't for a long time. I was actually afraid that the pandemic shut them down completely.
I'm very happy to see that they are once again taking orders and creating jewelry. I would definitely recommend pieces made by them to anyone.

Gift for mom on Christmas. Got the map over her home where she grew up. She loved it

Perfect Gift!

I gave my oldest and dearest friend (we have been friends for 57 years) a pair of True Coordinates earrings for her birthday. The earrings were a map of the neighborhood we grew up in. The map was perfect. the jewelry was beautiful and her reaction was priceless! Thank you True Coordinates for making such a fantastic product!
