FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about your CINCO order and jewelry.
ORDERS
Why haven't I received my order confirmation?
We send an order confirmation by email for every order. If you can’t find yours, check your spam or promotions folder first. If it isn’t there, email [email protected] with the name you 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, so changes can’t be guaranteed. During promotional campaigns such as Black Friday, orders can’t be cancelled once placed.
If cancellation is no longer possible, you can refuse the delivery. We’ll issue a full refund once the parcel reaches us.
How long will my order take to arrive?
The timings below apply to standard orders. During sales and promotional periods, or for personalized and made-to-order pieces, these standard timings do not apply. Please check the product page and your selected variant for the timings that apply to your piece at the day of your order.
Processing time: 1–2 business days.
Delivery time 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

What does "on demand" or "pre-order" mean?
“On demand” or “pre-order” means the piece isn’t immediately in stock. It is being produced or reserved for you, and the estimated shipping timeframe is shown when you order.
Can I order in-stock and on-demand pieces together?
You can order in-stock and on-demand pieces together. When they’re combined in one order, the shipment follows the longest preparation time.
Where can I buy CINCO?
You can buy CINCO pieces at cinco-store.com or through selected authorized retailers. To find stockists near you, email [email protected].
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, we’ll email you a tracking number. If the tracking hasn’t updated or you need help, contact [email protected].
SIZE GUIDE
How do I find my ring size?
To find your ring size, use our Size Guide to measure at home, then compare your measurement with the sizing shown there.
How do I choose the right necklace or bracelet length?
Our Size Guide provides measurements and shows how each necklace or bracelet length sits. If you’re between sizes, Customer Care can help you decide.
Can a ring be resized?
Resizing and length adjustments are available on eligible pieces. For pricing and timing, email [email protected] with the piece and the size you need.
PAYMENTS
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major cards and the local payment options available in your country. You can see the full list of options for your location at checkout.
Is my payment information secure?
All transactions are encrypted and processed through secure payment providers. We never store your card details.
Can I use more than one promotional code?
Promotional codes can’t be combined with one another or with other site promotions, unless stated otherwise.
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 can still vary. If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, 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 within this regulated framework.
JEWELRY CARE
How should I care for my jewelry?
Put your jewelry on last, after applying perfume, skincare and makeup. Take it off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. After wearing it, wipe each piece gently and store it 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, use mild soap, warm water and a very soft brush, then rinse and dry the piece completely.
For gold-plated pieces, use only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid polishing cloths, abrasive products, detergents and prolonged contact with water, as these can strip the plating.
Will gold plating last forever?
No. Gold plating is a finish that wears naturally over time. How it wears depends on factors such as skin chemistry, perspiration, water, perfume, cosmetics and heat; this is 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?
The materials used depend on the piece. CINCO primarily uses 925 sterling silver, 18ct gold-plated 925 sterling silver and solid gold. The exact composition is listed on each 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?
CINCO jewelry is covered for manufacturing defects for 3 years from the date of delivery. Your invoice and order number serve as proof of purchase; there is no separate warranty card.
The warranty does not cover normal wear, accidental damage, loss, improper use or storage, or work carried out by another jeweler.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES
Can I return my order?
You can return your order within 14 days of receiving it. Pieces must be unworn and in their original condition and packaging. This includes any gifts, which are considered part of the product. Trying a piece on is fine, but signs of wear or alteration are not.
Are there items I can't return?
Custom and engraved pieces are made for you, so they cannot be returned or exchanged.
How do I start a return or exchange?
To start a return or exchange, use our Returns Portal and enter your order details. You’ll receive the instructions and return documents needed to complete the process.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping options may be limited for some remote destinations. If you’re unsure whether we can deliver to your address, contact us with your destination so we can help.

For destinations within the EU, no additional customs fees apply. For destinations outside the EU, duties and import taxes may apply, and the customer is responsible for these charges.
