We prefer in-store consultations for accurate sizing, but accommodate long-distance orders via email with multiple design image reviews to ensure perfect custom Tech ring creation.
What warranty options exist for jewelry purchases?
All rings include a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects like stone loosening or solder point breakage. Normal wear damage requires separate insurance through Jewelers Mutual.

Yes, our laser welding technology repairs complex pieces with stronger bonds than traditional methods, handling both modern and antique jewelry without compromising original craftsmanship.
What payment options are available?
We offer no-interest layaway with flexible payment schedules, requiring 50% down for custom orders. Final payments must clear before delivery of completed jewelry pieces.
