The “Shake Test”
Hold your ring near your ear and gently tap the band. Hear a rattle? The stone is loose. Stop wearing immediately and contact us.
Annually
Professional Inspection
Mandatory for safety. We check for worn prongs, micro-cracks in the shank, and loose stones invisible to the naked eye.
