Please get in touch at hello@turnsmithjewelry.com with any issues or inquiries, we’re always happy to help.

Product Care

  • When should I take off my jewelry? Avoiding impact, pressure, and extreme temperatures is essential for fine jewellery care. Gold, gemstones, and even diamonds can be damaged by an impact or friction.  Our jewelry is built to last, but in order to keep your ring looking its best, we recommend removing it during activities such as:
    • Going to the gym/ sports
    • Washing dishes
    • Gardening
    • House cleaning
    • Moving furniture
    • Any activity which could result in an impact to your ring
    • Avoid harsh chemicals, such as bleach, ammonia etc.
    • Remove your ring when applying creams and lotions, such as moisturizers and sunscreens (these will not damage your ring, but will collect under the diamonds making them appear less vibrant)

  • How should I clean my jewelry?
    1. Place a dollop of dish liquid in a bowl
    2. Pour a half cup hot water over dish liquid and mix
    3. Place your ring in the solution for 15-20 minutes
    4. Gently scrub the underside of your diamonds with a soft bristle toothbrush
    5. Repeat steps 1-4 if necessary

Warranty

  • Do you offer a warranty?:  We offer a warranty against manufacturing defects for twelve months after purchase.  This includes lost accent diamonds up to 2mm in width. If jewellery has been damaged or shows improper care, repairs will be completed at-cost within this time.  After the first twelve months, repairs may incur a small fee.  Please note that modifications or alterations made by another jeweller may void your warranty.  If jewellery has been damaged or improperly cared for, shipping and liability is the responsibility of the purchaser.  If you have any questions please get in touch at hello@turnsmithjewelry.com

Ring Size

  • How to find your size: In order to find your most accurate ring size, we recommend you visit a local jewelry store and ask for them to take your ring size – even better…visit two and use the average. Determining your ring size can be tricky, and we find often online sizing devices are not accurate. Don’t forget, your ring size will fluctuate in warmer and cooler weather.
  • Our resizing policy: If your ring size needs to be adjusted, we offer one complimentary resizing within 30 days. Return shipping and liability is the responsibility of the purchaser.  Please get in touch at hello@turnsmithjewelry.com with any issues or inquiries, we’re always happy to help.

Materials

  • Where is your jewelry made?: 100% of our jewelry is hand crafted in Toronto, Canada.
  • Are your diamonds conflict free?:  We go one step further than the internationally recognized Kimberly Process, by working directly with the site holders (mine owners). This allows us to ensure through rigorous checks and balances that all of our diamonds are sourced from conflict free areas.
  • What type of accent diamonds are used?: We use high quality lab grown mele (accent diamonds) in all white diamond halos and pavé bands. Accent diamonds are VS-SI clarity, F-H colour. That means they’re super white, clear and sparkly.
  • Is your gold recycled?: Yes, we work with recycled gold which has been meticulously cleaned and purified before being melted down and cast into your ring.

Deposits: We understand that it can take time to come to a final decision. Since each of our rose cut diamonds is completely one-of-a-kind we offer a deposit option to hold the stone of your choice.

  • Deposits are ~10% of final price and non-refundable.
  • Deposit ensures selected stone will be reserved for your custom ring for 30 days.
  • This deposit will be deducted from the final price of the ring upon purchase.

What are alternative diamonds?

  • Rose Cuts: We love working with alternative rose cut diamonds, which are so naturally full of character. These black and grey diamonds showcase one-of-a-kind colours and textures and often over-deliver in size for their carat weight. Our rose cut diamond selection is ‘a cut above’. We rigorously select diamonds for optimal proportions, faceting, colour and intrigue. Learn more about rose cut diamonds here.
  • Lab Grown Diamonds: Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. Rather than being mined from the earth, they are grown in a lab using cutting edge technology. This allows eco-conscious customers an alternative that does not disrupt the earth.  Just like with nature, lab grown diamonds come in a range of colours and clarities – we select only the best to use in our rings.
  • Sapphires & Other Gemstones: We love to work with sapphires, emeralds, rubies, morganite, pearls, opals, aquamarine, tanzanites, alexandrite, amethysts, citrine, garnets, peridot, topaz, tourmaline, coloured diamonds and more!  Get in touch to select your own centre stone alongside our lead designer.

Do you carry moissanite?

  • Yes, we offer the very highest quality moissanite in all shapes and sizes.  Get in touch to select your centre stone.

Do you work with gold and platinum?

  • Yes, we can handcraft your ring in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or platinum.

How can I find out about, or get the price of a custom ring I saw on social media?

Is custom jewellery more expensive?

  • Surprisingly, it isn't!  You can expect a higher quality ring for the same cost or less than a generic big-box store.
