Sizing Information
This ring is a standard US size 7, and we can resize it within a two-size range to maintain its structural integrity, design, and overall quality. For example, a size 7 ring can be resized down to a 5 or up to a 9.
If you need a size outside this range, we recommend exploring a custom ring design, which allows for complete size flexibility.
Ensuring the Right Size
To minimize the need for resizing, we suggest confirming the correct ring size before ordering:
- Visit a local jeweler for the most accurate measurement.
If you're unsure of the wearer's size, we highly recommend ordering the unmodified size 7 first and sending it back for resizing if needed.
Important Warranty & Resizing Information
- Resized in-stock rings are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.
- If you choose to resize your ring elsewhere, please be aware that we cannot guarantee another jeweler’s work.
We cannot cover the loss of stones or any issues that arise from work done outside of Lavender Creek Gems.
Our warranty is a manufacturer’s warranty, meaning we will take care of any manufacturing-related issues—but work done by another jeweler voids this coverage.
You are free to resize elsewhere, but we highly recommend using our services to ensure the long-term integrity of your piece.
Shipping & Processing Information
Processing for all ready-to-ship items takes 1-2 business days before they are shipped.
If resizing is required, extra time will be needed before your item is prepared for shipping. Our resizing turnaround time is currently 2 weeks.
We ship Mondays through Thursdays via UPS Overnight Air to prevent shipments from lingering in courier warehouses over the weekend.
Please be sure to check these processing times before placing your order, especially if you have a deadline. Keep in mind that delays can occur with mail couriers, so it's advisable to be prepared for any potential hiccups.

About Natural Garnet

Hardness
Garnets have a hardness ranging from about 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. This variation in hardness depends on the specific type of garnet:
Almandine Garnet Typically around 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
Pyrope Garnet Usually falls between 7 to 7.5.
Spessartine Garnet Generally ranges from 7 to 7.5.
Grossular Garnet About 6.5 to 7.5, depending on the variety.
Andradite Garnet Typically ranges from 6.5 to 7.- The Mohs scale is a measurement system used to assess and compare the hardness of minerals. Developed by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, it assigns a ranking from 1 to 10 to minerals based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals. This scale provides a simple and practical way to understand the relative hardness of different minerals, with 1 being the softest (e.g., talc) and 10 the hardest (e.g., diamond).
Garnets are a robust and versatile choice for jewelry, offering both beauty and durability. While they may not match the hardness of diamonds, sapphires, or rubies, their hardness still makes them suitable for most types of jewelry. What sets garnets apart is their stunning variety of colors and their ability to maintain resilience with proper care.
