Customization / Sizing

We offer sizing on most of our rings.  If the ring is an eternity band, has a continuous pattern, or if the ring has to change more than 3 sizes, please contact us so we can be sure sizing is possible.  Upon checkout, please make note of the size you need your ring to be, or contact us before ordering.  If you need your ring sized, please allow a total 5-7 days processing before shipment.  Please contact us first if you need the ring by a certain date, and we will work with you to meet your needs.

For any rings over $1,000, we size for free.  If the ring is under $1,000, please contact us and we're happy to quote you for the sizing, or we can invoice you after the purchase.  Sizing a ring down in size is typically $18 for items purchased through us.  Sizing up is $18 plus the cost of any additional materials.  If you need your ring sized, please allow a total 5-7 days processing before shipment.  Please contact us first if you need the ring by a certain date, and we will work with you to meet your needs.
