What should I do if I have concerns about the ring after I receive it?

What if I want to redesign an existing engagement ring into something new?

We love helping customers update or completely transform their current rings into something fresh and unique. If you have an old ring or a family heirloom, we can incorporate it into your custom design or use it as inspiration for your new piece.

How often should I bring my ring in for maintenance?

We recommend bringing your ring in for a complimentary cleaning and inspection 1-2 times a year. This quick 10-20 minute inspection ensures the longevity and beauty of your ring's stone and metal work. We’ll clean your ring, inspect it for any necessary repairs, and give you peace of mind knowing your ring is in optimal condition.

Do you recommend jewelry insurance for my engagement ring?
