- IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT OUR GEMSTONE RINGS
Our Gemstones are high quality, but we do non provide certificate of authenticity. In Our Tension Settings, the Gemstone is set under compression, so every time you inadvertently or accidentally hit the ring against an hard surface, the shock could create fracture into the stone and consequently the stone could pop out, but in case of damages or loss of the Gemstone, we offer Gemstone Replacement Service.
