Resizing
Can I get my ring resized?
Yes. The majority of our ring designs are eligible for a one-time complimentary resizing service if you contact us within 30 calendar days from the date of delivery with your desired ring size. This includes insured shipping to and from Japan at no additional charge. You will need to provide the Certificate of Authenticity that originally came with your ring.
Requests for a second or further resizing or requests made after 30 calendar days from the date of delivery will incur a resizing fee. Please see the After-Sales Services page for more details.
If you are unsure about which ring size you require, Ring Sizing Kits are available for purchase to measure your Japanese ring size.
After sending my ring for resizing, how long will it take for the ring to be shipped back to me?
Regardless of whether the service is complimentary or paid, rings sent for resizing or exchange will be shipped back to you approximately 7 to 9 weeks after we receive them. However, the delivery time may be longer depending on the design and condition of the ring, or due to national holidays. Please note that the aforementioned resizing period of 7 to 9 weeks does not include the initial inquiry period or the shipping period to Japan. For more information, please see the After-Sales Services page.
