Metal changes everything
The same ring in four metals is four different rings. Yellow gold is warm and forgiving. White gold is plated, which means it needs replating every few years — we would rather you knew that before you bought it than after. Rose gold suits some skin and not others. Platinum is heavier and holds a stone better than anything else.
Tungsten is a different conversation again: extremely hard, nearly scratch-proof, and it cannot be sized. That last part matters. If your fingers change, a tungsten ring does not come with you.
Try it on, on the right day
Finger size moves through the day and with the weather. We size at the counter rather than guessing from a chart, and we would rather measure you properly once than have you back twice.
Bought here, sized here, fixed here
Everything we sell can be sized, polished, replated and repaired at the same bench, by the same people. A ring bought from a mall chain goes into an envelope when it needs work. One bought from us does not leave the building.
What it costs
Prices move with the metal market and with the piece itself, so we would rather show you than quote you down a phone line. Come and see what is in the case, try it on, and we will tell you exactly where it sits. Layaway and SNAP financing are both available.
The cases change week to week, so the pictures here show the kind of thing we carry rather than a particular piece. Come and see what is in today.
Questions we get asked
Can tungsten rings be sized?
No — tungsten is too hard to cut and re-join, which is the trade-off for how well it resists scratching. If your size is likely to change, that is worth knowing before you buy. We will measure you properly either way.
Why does white gold need replating?
White gold is a yellow alloy with rhodium plated over it. The plating wears with the ring, so it goes warm over a few years. We replate it here, usually within the hour.
Do you size rings you sell?
Yes, at our own bench, usually the same day. Most within the hour.
What metals do you carry?
10k, 14k and 18k gold in yellow, white and rose, sterling silver, platinum and tungsten.
Looking for something in particular?
Tell us roughly what you are after and we will tell you whether it is in the case, or whether it is something we would make for you. Either way you will not waste a trip.
