| Sizing Information |
| Sizing rings does not affect the cost unless it is several sizes
different necessitating building a new ring. Turn around time on normal sizing is one week. Inlaid rings cannot be sized, as
the inlay usually breaks, so a new ring will be made at the original price. Also, some of the designs with faceted stones
cannot be sized much or at all due to the setting being integral to the design, and so a new ring with a new stone will be made.
Since gemstones vary by weight and price, two similarly sized stones may be differently priced and this can affect the cost,
and generally falls into the custom order category. Rings which need to be made to order usually take 3 to 4 weeks to produce,
depending on stone availability.

| Caring For Your Jewelry |
| Fine jewelry should be treated with care and respect, reflecting it's value,
especially when gemstones are involved. A gold ring with no stones can take a lot of abuse, but when it becomes severely
scratched much of it's beauty and appeal is lost. A ring with gemstones should be treated with more care since the stones,
even diamonds, can be scratched or broken. I recommend cleaning jewelry regularly with dishwashing soap and ammonia using a
toothbrush. With chemical sensitive materials such as pearl or emerald, eliminate the ammonia. For care and cleaning over an
extended period, I recommend regular "tune-ups", which are free with any piece of jewelry purchased. This service includes
checking/tightening any stones, removing scratches from the metal and inlay, re-polishing the piece, and giving it a thorough
cleaning. Depending on individual wear and tear, this should be done once a year and goes along way in protecting gemstones
from loss and keeping the piece beautiful.
