RING SIZING

The Diamond Shoppe will size your engagement ring (when possible) free of charge within a three-month period after purchase until you are satisfied with the fit. Finger size commonly fluctuates with each individual up to one whole size due to factors such as physical activity, weather, food, drink, and time of day. Due to these factors, sizing multiple times to get the correct finger size that you are comfortable with can be common and normal. Sizing may alter the shape, thickness, engraving, and milgrain details of a ring. The Diamond Shoppe does not assume any responsibility for these changes due to sizing and these changes are at the customer's risk. The Diamond Shoppe will resize rings (when possible) free of charge during and after pregnancy to our customers. In any other circumstance, we will resize rings when possible at a nominal fee (subject of the price of materials at the time; gold, platinum, etc.). If in any case sizing is not possible, The Diamond Shoppe is not responsible for replacement of the ring.

All of our appraisals are performed by an independent Gemologist and GIA certified appraiser.The appraisal is calculated using current market data and based on the diamond(s), metal and craftsmanship used in the jewelry making process.
