Price quotes for jewelry

Please note that when ThomasO Jewelry Designs give a quote to a perspective buyer, the quoted price is valid for 3 months. We adjust prices according to the changing precious metal and gem market at time of commitment. When requesting a price quote or making an inquiry for a ring, please provide us with the ring size needed.


Ring size and resizing*

Please make sure you give us the correct ring size when placing your order. For international orders, you may use an online ring size conversion tool like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_size


Once the ring is sized it is none returnable.


If the ring doesn't fit right because of the inaccurate sizing information, and it has to be resized, please contact us. Fees for resizing a ring start at $25 plus shipping. The amount could be more for gold or multi-metal rings. It also depends on the gem type used in the setting. Most colored gems cannot withstand the heat needed for soldering, so they have to done with a laser which incurs a higher fee.

Warranty for jewelry

We guarantee the structural integrity of a jewelry piece under the conditions of normal wear against the defects of the craftsmanship. Regular maintenance is our customer's responsibility and can be done at a local jewelry store.

We will replace lost small accent stones within one year. We also do most repairs. A customer will be responsible for shipping a jewelry piece to ThomasO Jewelry Designs. If a ring was purchased without a central stone and set by another jeweler, or resized, or modified in any way, the warranty is voided.

We cannot offer warranty for any central stones, but you can obtain an insurance with a private jewelry insurance company. The cost of the replacement depends on the gem's price and availability as well as the ring's design.

Please contact us with a detailed description of the problem and a photo, so we can evaluate what can be done to fix it.
