We are pleased to offer Complimentary Sizings on all ring purchases, undertaken by one of the best jewellers in the business.
You can find out your ring size now by downloading our nifty Ring Measurer Thingy.
Sometimes it can be tricky finding out her size without being caught. In these circumstances we recommend saving your free sizing until after you've proposed or the recipient has received their ring. Just send your ring back to us via secure post or visit us at our London showroom and we will measure your partner's finger and take it to get sized.
Please note:
Our offer is only valid on the first ring sizing per customer.
Your free sizing will remain valid for 1 year after purchase.
Thereafter, ring sizings are charged at £72.00 (not including postage).
Sizings usually take 2-3 working days but can vary depending on our jeweller's workload. We always try and get rings sized as quickly as possible.
We have marked clearly beneath our items which rings can be sized. If you are unsure please let us know.
Certain rings are not able to be sized due to their design, eg. eternity rings or Georgian rings with ornately carved shanks. In these cases we feel the integrity of the rings would be damaged if sizing took place.
