Around this time of year our store is full of people who need to get the ring they bought for Valentines sized before Valentines Day.

This is because they have bought from a chain store, and the average turn around time on a ring sizing is two weeks. So we thought it would be a good idea to make sure we tell you that before you buy ask what the turn around time is on sizing a ring. If today is the 1st of the month, and you bought your jewelery item today if you are very lucky might get it back in time for Valentines Day.

It is a very simple thing to ask before you invest your money in something that you will not be able to return.

If you want to take it to some place else to size it, it’s going to cost you, and depending on the store they will have at least a 2 day turn around.  Make sure you do your calculations before you buy, if you are going to take it someplace else to size the ring make sure you add that extra expense into the cost of any ring you are going to be buying.

Just a side note before you buy your diamond engagement ring ask about the turn around time on a repair if one of the accent stones falls out. The turn around time for this repair in most major jewelry store chains is 5 to 8 weeks.
