A FEW THINGS, ON THE RECORD
Questions
worth asking
The practical details, without giving away the mystery.
THE DETAILS / 01
Your Box
What is The Midnight Murder Society?
A monthly diamond art murder mystery subscription from The Rhinestone Parlor. Each month will bring a new fictional case, with hidden-picture diamond art patches as clues. For now, the Society is accepting waitlist signups only. Purchases and new member accounts are not open.
What is the Evidence Ledger?
Every case adds a new evidence page to your Evidence Ledger: black book-board covers, gold rings, and a gold foil EVIDENCE label, tied with black velvet ribbon. Press your finished clue patches onto each month's page. Peel them off anytime to wear on a Velcro jacket panel.
What evidence page comes with each monthly case?
Each month includes one black evidence page printed with the case name and number, with three Velcro dots for your finished clue patches. The Evidence Ledger has a page for every month, so you can see which cases are missing from your collection.
Can I see the clue before I begin?
No. The canvas shows only symbols. The clue picture appears as you place the matching resin drills. That's what makes the investigation part of the craft.
Are these real crimes?
No. Every murder case, suspect and mystery is fictional.
THE DETAILS / 02
The Patches
How do the patches attach?
With Velcro, not heat. Press your finished clue patches onto your Evidence Ledger pages, then peel them off anytime to wear on a Velcro jacket panel. They are detachable, not iron-on patches.
Can I iron my patch?
Never iron your patch. Resin drills melt when exposed to heat. Use the Velcro backing - no heat required.
Can I wear or wash a patch?
Seal the finished diamond art before wearing. Remove the patch before washing a garment. Do not iron or machine-wash the patch itself.
Who are the patches suitable for?
Small parts. Not for children under 14. Resin drills and craft components should be kept away from young children and pets.

Shipping
Where do you ship, and what does it cost?
Orders are not open yet. Join the waitlist for launch updates. Shipping regions, charges and dispatch details will be confirmed before orders open. Joining the waitlist does not create an order or promise a shipment.
What if there is a holiday or shipping delay?
The case desk can post a notice at the top of the site. Any confirmed delivery information will also be included in the final shipping policy.
THE DETAILS / 04
Membership and Canceling
Can I cancel anytime?
Joining the waitlist does not start a subscription. You can request removal from the waitlist using the Contact page. Membership and cancellation terms will be available before paid memberships open.
Can I join midyear?
Yes. You get every missed letter free, so you can follow the twelve-letter secret. Full missed case boxes are separate back cases; free missed letters do not mean free back-case boxes.
What is the twelve-letter secret?
At every crime scene, a black velvet ribbon. Collect all 12 letters to unmask the killer behind every killer. It is the thread connecting the year's fictional cases.
Does signing up charge me?
No. A waitlist signup saves your name and email for launch updates. No payment is taken, no account is created, and no subscription starts.
How do Detective Ranks work?
Bronze is earned at three paid membership months, Silver at six and Gold at twelve. Back Case purchases do not count toward ranks or add gold letters. Your portal shows your rank, and the case desk is alerted when a rank pin is due.
Where do I submit an answer?
The members-only Detective Portal will open with the Society. For now, join the waitlist to hear when investigations begin.
THE DETAILS / 05
Gifts
Can I give a case as a gift?
Our gift collection will open with the Society. Join the waitlist for the announcement. Gift orders are not being accepted yet.
Can I include a personal note?
Personal gift messages are planned for the gift collection. Gift checkout is not open yet, so there is no gift order or recipient email to submit now.
Small parts. Not for children under 14.
