Ring shopping starts with accurate size, then moves to metal, profile, width, stones and return or resizing terms.

Get the size right

Use a reliable ring sizing method and check whether the specific design is offered in your size.

Karat and color

Gold rings may be offered in different karats and colors. Verify the listing rather than inferring composition from appearance.

Customization

Sizing or alteration can affect return eligibility. WJD’s current policy, for example, excludes customized or altered items from standard returns.
