Unlike many jewelers who apply rhodium plating to give White Gold a brighter, whiter appearance, we prefer to showcase the natural beauty of the metal. Our White Gold has a more organic hue, with soft creamy, yellowish, or grayish tones, which we believe adds to its uniqueness and appeal. Many of our customers appreciate this authentic look. Additionally, because we don’t use rhodium plating, there’s no need for periodic re-plating, as is common with most White Gold jewelry from other stores.

Absolutely! We've created this guide to help you understand all the factors that affect ring sizing, as well as tips and tricks for finding your perfect fit.

This is a very common question as we have many clients outside of New York City who are unable to be sized in person. We've created this helpful guide to help you find your perfect fit, even if you can't visit our showroom!

That’s a common dilemma! While there are plenty of clever ways to secretly determine your partner’s ring size, sometimes the best approach is to find the perfect fit after the proposal. This is a special piece meant to last a lifetime, so it's important that the wearer feels comfortable with the size they prefer. We recommend choosing a resizable style or selecting an in-stock piece that can be exchanged and professionally sized afterward.

As long as you're absolutely sure the ring is worn on the correct finger and hand, we can certainly measure it. However, if you're unsure, we usually advise against this method or recommend selecting a resizable ring that can be adjusted later. It's important to remember that hands are often different sizes, with one typically larger than the other. Additionally, if the ring you have is wider than the style you plan to purchase, it may lead to an incorrect fit, as wider rings can feel tighter.

Ring sizing can be quite nuanced and subjective, as it often depends on the wearer’s personal comfort. Additionally, sizing isn’t universal and can vary slightly between jewelers due to differences in the mandrels (sizing tools) used. For the most accurate fit, we recommend visiting us in person, as we are familiar with our specific styles and fits and can ensure the best possible sizing for your chosen piece.

We recommend wearing your ring for a few seasons before deciding on any resizing. Our hands naturally change throughout the year due to factors like temperature, which can affect how a ring fits. Taking this time will help you determine whether any adjustments are truly necessary, ensuring the best long-term comfort.
