Finding your perfect fit is a matter of individual preference. As hands fluctuate throughout the day depending on temperature, humidity, and activities, it's wise to measure several times before choosing a size. You can review the printable sizing chart and find more tips here. If you are still unsure and this is your first ring, we recommend this set of sizers. These are the same sizers we use to size your rings.

You can also choose to have your ring resized by a local jeweler. Please note that the buttery edges that define our rings require extra attention and care when they are polished. It may be helpful, therefore, to provide specific instructions to respect the timeworn edges and soft curves.

How do I request a catalog or lookbook?

Each year we mail catalogs and one incredible lookbook full of gorgeous images and the creation details behind each George Rings piece.

If you would like to order a copy of our latest catalog, shop here. If you'd like to be on the list to receive our annual lookbook, please subscribe with your mailing address here. 

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Yes, we offer gift packaging available at checkout for $10. In addition to the custom George Rings box and care card included standard with each piece, our gift wrapping adds a gift bag, tissue, and a note on George Rings stationery with your custom message. To add gift packaging and custom messaging to your order, select these features during checkout. 

Are all of George Rings pieces unique? 

Yes. Every ring, pendant, and earring is cast by hand in Portland, Oregon (no overseas factories, no outsourcing). Each piece will have some natural variation, and that is part of their beauty. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, so precise replication should not be expected.

Is all George Rings jewelry solid 18k yellow gold?

All of our cast pieces are made of fair trade, recycled 18k yellow gold, and every piece is solid (nothing hollow). You can read more about why we think 18k yellow gold is the most beautiful metal here.

Our round box chains are solid 14k yellow gold. 

What will my 18k gold ring look like after one month? One year?

All of our pieces are finished with a high polish that will develop a magnificent patina over time. This patina is the result of tiny nicks and scratches that begin to appear almost immediately upon use. A flawless, high polish is not the disposition of 18k gold, nor is it our aim. Our jewelry is designed to be worn and to show the marks of daily life. The warmth and softness of each piece will deepen over time to become truly yours.

What is the difference between a lab grown gem and a mined gem?

A lab grown gem is cultivated rather than mined from the earth. It is identical to a mined gem in every way - molecular structure, refractive index, dispersion, hardness, luster, and appearance. Lab grown gems have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as their mined counterparts because they are formed under equivalent conditions. Just as a fir tree in the wild is the same as a fir tree planted and grown in a park, grown gems are identical to mined gems. 

Emeralds, for example, are formed in nature when beryllium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen flow together in hydrothermal veins deep in the earth’s crust and then cool. The same intensive process of slowly heating and cooling these four elements is re-created in a controlled environment when producing lab grown emeralds. The emeralds are every bit as real, but they are not mined from the earth.

At George Rings, we create heirloom jewelry from the most precious and beautiful of nature's raw materials. We are committed to sourcing the most lustrous, durable, and precious gems from the most ethical supply chains we can find, whether grown or mined.

What do you recommend for wedding or bridal sets?

Our favorite commitment sets are The Sovereign paired with the Dominus Band, The Empire paired with the Essential Band, the Dominus Band and Dominus Band Grand, the Essential Band and the Essential Band Grand, and the Capitol - alone. See our collection of simple wedding bands here.
