Resizing Information
All of our ready-to-ship rings are an unmodified standard US 7.
Please note that we can only adjust original, unmodified rings within a range of 2.5 sizes. This limitation is in place to maintain the structural integrity, design, and overall quality of the ring. Making more drastic size changes can potentially compromise these factors. While we'd love to accommodate all size requests, we want to ensure that the final product remains as beautiful and durable as intended.
For instance, If you ordered a size 7, we can resize to a 4.5, or up to a 9.5.
Should you require a ring size that falls outside the range we can accommodate for our available ready-to-ship pieces, we invite you to explore the possibility of a custom ring design with us. With a custom design, we have the flexibility to craft a ring in any size that suits your preferences.
We suggest confirming your ring size first to avoid the need for additional resizes, as each adjustment can affect the integrity of your piece. Visiting a local jeweler is the most economical way to ensure your ring size, or you can order one of our ring sizers here. If you are unsure of the wearer's size, we highly suggest ordering the unmodified size 7 first, and then send it back to us for the resize.
Please note that resized in-stock rings are ineligible for return or exchange.
Unauthorized repairs/ring resizing invalidates Lavender Creek Gems' warranty.

ABOUT NATURAL DIAMONDS
Hardness
In the realm of gemstones, diamonds reign supreme in terms of durability and toughness. With a perfect score of 10 on the Mohs scale, diamonds are the hardest known mineral, making them exceptionally resistant to scratches and damage. This unparalleled hardness ensures that diamonds can endure everyday wear without losing their brilliance.
- 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).
Color Range & Varieties
Natural diamonds are renowned for their stunning array of colors:
Colorless diamonds, ranging from completely colorless (D grade) to near colorless (G-H grade), are the most famous and sought-after. Fancy colored diamonds include rare and vibrant hues such as pink, blue, green, yellow, and even red, with color intensity ranging from faint to vivid; vivid fancy colored diamonds are the most valuable. Brown diamonds, often referred to as champagne or cognac diamonds, exhibit warm, earthy tones. Black diamonds, known for their striking and dramatic appearance, possess a unique allure due to their deep, opaque black color that contrasts beautifully with other gemstones and metals. Color-changing diamonds are rare and exhibit different colors under varying lighting conditions. Lastly, salt-and-pepper diamonds contain inclusions that give them a unique, speckled appearance, adding to their charm and individuality.
