Tips for a Better Visit
Check stones. For stone-set jewelry, inspect the setting carefully and confirm the daily-use claim before paying.
Confirm engraving. For custom rings, confirm the engraving position, font and thickness in writing before production and again on collection.
Allow time. Custom work may take weeks and can require corrections, so allow extra time before a wedding or trip.
Inspect repairs. Check the finish and shape at collection, especially after resizing, and raise any dent or workmanship issue immediately.
Ask charges. Before choosing rings, ask for a clear explanation of processing fees; one customer reported being quoted 16%.
Check refund. If you need a tourist tax refund, confirm the tax-free system is working before making a separate trip.
