You can get your accurate ring size in one of two ways:

1. Visit our store to be sized in person.
2. Purchase a ring sizer online in your desired width. These sizers are the same that we use in-house and are sent with instructions on how to determine your measurement.

Please contact us to discuss your ring's fit. Not all rings can be resized but if it can, we offer a ring resizing service.

Some styles (like rings with diamonds that go all the way around the band or rings with textured surfaces) cannot be resized after purchase, so be sure to confirm your ring size before ordering. We will note on the product's page specifically if a ring style cannot be resized or has limitations.

Please note that resizing a ring too many times will affect the integrity of the jewelry.

Resizing your VM ring with another jewelers will void our warranty.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you don't see your ring size available. We can certainly accommodate all sizes as a custom order.

We offer a maintenance and service plan complimentary with every jewelry item purchased.

2. 1 year complimentary setting repair. Setting repair includes tightening of any loose gemstone or diamond and prong re-tipping.
3. 1 year complimentary accent gemstone/diamond replacement. Warranty does not include stones with a replacement value over $500USD or replacement of stones larger than 0.25 carat.
4. 90-day complimentary chain and clasp repair for removable necklaces and bracelets, not eternity bracelets. 
5. 30-day complimentary re-welding for eternity bracelets. After this timeframe, re-welding will incur a fee, and replacements will be the responsibility of the customer. Please get in touch with our team to explore adding a clasp if the permanent bracelet does not suit your lifestyle.

It is advisable to have your major jewelry purchase reviewed by us every year to allow us to communicate repair recommendations. Failure to complete the recommended repairs or if repairs or work are made by establishments not approved by us will result in the cancellation of the warranty policy. We are not responsible for damaged jewelry due to wear and tear, or repairs/alterations made by other jewelers.

This policy is not a substitute for insurance so we recommend insuring your jewelry item with a reputable insurance provider (such as Jewelers Mutual) for your peace of mind.
