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.
If you require a resize in the future, please submit a resize request using this link.
Please note that resized in-stock rings are ineligible for return or exchange.
Unauthorized repairs/ring resizing invalidates Lavender Creek Gems' warranty.

Our videos are captured using natural window lighting to ensure the most accurate color representation. Please be aware that variations in monitor or phone color settings may impact the perceived colors.
Can I recreate this piece?
Although we recreate our styles, we cannot use the exact same gemstone for each new piece due to the unique nature of natural gemstones.
Recreating a one-of-a-kind gemstone rings can be challenging due to several reasons:
- Unique Gemstones: Each natural gemstone possesses distinct colors, patterns, inclusions, or cuts that render them truly one-of-a-kind. Finding a similar gemstone that matches the exact characteristics of the original can be extremely difficult. Using rare, high quality stones is the most important aspect of LCG, and while we try to accommodate most requests for replications, this is something we strive to keep consistent.
- Variability in Gemstones: Natural gemstones are formed under unique geological conditions, resulting in variations in color, clarity, and overall appearance. Even if you manage to find a similar gemstone, it's unlikely to be an exact match in terms of all these aspects.
- Exact Measurements: Achieving the exact measurements and proportions of a one-of-a-kind stone can be difficult. Even a slight deviation in dimensions can affect the overall look and comfort of the ring. Approximately 95% of our tourmaline stones are personally cut by us, and we frequently shape them according to the natural form of the rough stone. It's important to note that not all rough stones can be faceted into identical shapes.
- Market Fluctuations & Scarcity: The availability and pricing of gemstones can change over time due to market fluctuations and sourcing challenges. This can impact the feasibility of recreating a piece at a similar cost. This holds particularly true in the present moment, more so than ever before. The demand for high quality colored stones is astronomically high, and in turn makes it difficult to source more rare stones.
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.

Origin, Stability, & Treatments
Origin
Garnets are found in a variety of locations around the world. Major sources include:
Africa Notable deposits in Kenya, Tanzania, and Madagascar, particularly for tsavorite and spessartine.
India Known for its traditional almandine and hessonite garnets.
Sri Lanka Produces high-quality garnets, including hessonite and pyrope.
Brazil Provides a range of garnet types, including spessartine and almandine.
Russia Notable for its rare demantoid garnets, especially from the Urals.
Stability
Garnets are generally stable and durable gemstones, but can be sensitive to extreme temperature changes and strong acids, so they should be handled with care to maintain their luster.
Treatments
Heat Treatment Some garnets are heat-treated to enhance their color. This is a common practice that improves the appearance of the gemstone without significantly altering its value.
Radiation Occasionally used to improve color, particularly for green garnets, but this treatment is less common.
We only work with untreated garnets.
