FAQs
HOW DO I FIND OUT MY RING SIZE?
Please see our ring sizing page for help with this.
I GOT THE WRONG RING SIZE!
Please note I offer one free ring resizing on all ring orders as I know it is difficult to ensure you've got 100% the right ring size if buying a gift or if the ring you're ordering is a little bit chunkier than your usual rings as this can mean you may need to size up a size or two. Every order is entitled to a free ring sizing no questions asked. All that I ask is that you cover the cost of returning to me (not normally more than a few pounds) and I will then resize and send back out to you free of charge. Just pop me an email to enquire more on this and confirm your new ring size.
I’VE CHANGED MY MIND CAN I RETURN?
