  • Has a problem that would have prevented you from purchasing the item were it disclosed
  • Is unsafe
  • Is significantly different from the sample or description
  • Doesn’t do what we advised it would do and can’t be easily fixed

If the problem is not Major, we will repair the item within a reasonable time. If it is not repaired within a reasonable time you may select a refund or replacement.

Resizing

For purchases in excess of $1500 the first sizing is free up to 3 sizes up or down within 30 days of purchase. Size differences larger than this may incur Fees, or require total replacement depending on style. Items such as full hoop diamond bands, full hoop patterned bands, or rings where diamonds sit down the sides of the finger may require replacement rather than resizing. This may incur extra costs.
