    FAQs

    Engagement Ring FAQs

      What is the process for buying an engagement ring?

    At Flora Gems, our experts guide you through the process of choosing the perfect ring. We’ll educate you on center stone options and help you find a ring that aligns with your style, budget, and desired timeline.

    What options are there for center stones?

    Diamonds are the traditional center stone choice for engagement rings. At Flora Gems, we have a large selection of earth mined and lab grown diamonds, and a unique selection of pre-owned diamonds in our estate department. For those seeking alternatives, we offer colored gemstones and moissanite.

    How long does it take for the ring to be made?

    We have many options in rings and diamonds that are available for immediate pickup or within a few days. If we place a custom order on a ring, production typically takes 3-4 weeks.

    Do I need to know her finger size?

    We do our best to estimate, so we are sure the ring will go on. If the ring is not the correct size, our on-site jewelers will size your ring as quickly as possible.

    Do you custom design rings?

    We love custom design! We will work together to gather all your ideas, create a CAD design, and present a wax model of the ring before we proceed with the final steps. You’ll be involved throughout the entire journey, from start to finish.

    Do you accept trade-ins?

    Yes! Bring in any items you would like to trade in for assessment! The item does not need to be from our store.

    Jewelry Repair FAQs

    Who repairs the jewelry?

    We have jewelry repair shops in both stores, with full time bench-jewelers in house. Our talented jewelers are masters of their craft and work exclusively on our repairs.

    Do you ship my jewelry out for repair?

    We have on-site jewelers in both locations and complete 99% of work in house. On occasion, we will transfer jewelry between stores to offer you the best service. If your item will need to leave our store, we will inform you at drop off.

    What if my piece didn’t come from Flora Gems?

    We are happy to assist in repairs on all jewelry – not just items from our store.

    How long will it take and how much will it be?

    Rock Solid Diamond Warranty FAQs

    How much does your warranty cost?

    Flora Gems Rock Solid Diamond Warranty is no additional charge. That’s right, a free warranty where all the maintenance is free for the lifetime of the ring.

    What is covered under the warranty?

    Under our Rock Solid Diamond Warranty, maintenance is free-sizing, prong repairs, refinishing, soldering, lost diamonds, engraving and more!

    Do I need to bring my ring in for inspection?

    Yes, we ask you to bring the ring in for inspection every 6 months. It is easier to identify and fix any issues if we see it often. If you do not have your ring checked, the diamond replacement portion of the warranty becomes inactive until we inspect the ring again. At that time, the limited warranty will be renewed for 6 months.

    I no longer live in the area. How can I keep my warranty active?

    We have customers who live throughout the United States. When it’s time to send the ring in, please contact us at info@floragems.com.

    What is your return policy?

    Returns and exchanges will be honored within 60 days of purchase. Refunds are issued in accordance with the original payment method. Special orders and altered items are not returnable or exchangeable. Special orders defined as any non-inventory item, custom made item, or altered item.

    Estate Jewelry FAQs

    What is Estate Jewelry?

    Estate jewelry refers to previously owned jewelry, which can range from antique pieces to modern designs. These pieces often come with a unique history and charm.

    Where do you find the items in your estate jewelry case?

    We buy jewelry over the counter in house, and travel to a few different events annually in search of the most exquisite and unique pieces to offer to our customers. We take great care in selecting which pieces will make it into our estate case.

    Is estate jewelry pre-owned?

    Yes. Occasionally, a pre-owned stone will be set in a new mounting, or a custom piece designed for a pre-owned stone.

    How is the quality of estate jewelry assessed?

    Each piece of estate jewelry is carefully inspected and evaluated by our experienced jewelers to ensure its quality, authenticity, and condition before being offered for sale.

    Can estate jewelry be resized or altered?

    In many cases, estate jewelry can be resized or altered to fit your needs. Please consult with our jewelers to discuss the specific piece and your requirements.

    Do you accept trade-ins for estate jewelry?

    Yes, we do accept trade-ins for estate jewelry. Please bring your piece to our store for an evaluation and to discuss trade-in options.

    Gold & Jewelry Buying FAQs

    What type of items do you buy?

    We buy gold, silver, and platinum jewelry, finished pieces, loose diamonds, and sterling flatware.

    What is the difference between selling gold and getting an appraisal?

    If you are interested in selling your gold or jewelry, we will evaluate your items while you wait, and make you an offer. There is no charge for this service. An appraisal is a formal written description of your item with valuation for insurance purposes.

    Do I need an appraisal to sell my jewelry?

    No, our estate buyers will assess your gold and jewelry items and make an offer based on their assessment.

    How long does it take to get an offer?

    Depending on number of items, we can come up with an offer in a short amount of time. We recommend an appointment for multiple items.

    What if I am not sure if my items are genuine?

    We will carefully sort through your pieces with you, explain the process as we go, and let you know which pieces are costume and which are genuine.

    Appraisals FAQs

    What is an appraisal?

    An appraisal is written documentation with a description, photograph, and replacement value. It provides an estimated value for replacement or coverage in case of loss, theft, or damage. Appraisals are mainly for insurance purposes.

    Do you appraise large estates?

    Yes! We will guide you through the process and assess the best type of appraisal for you. A cash value appraisal can be more useful for estate purposes, while replacement value appraisal is used for insurance purposes.

    How long does an appraisal take and what does it cost?

    Appraisals typically take 1-2 weeks to complete, and are $125 per item.

    Custom Design FAQs

    How long does custom design take?

    Custom design can be as quick as a few weeks! Depending on the number of design changes we make, our designers can manufacture a piece of jewelry very quickly.

    How do you come up with designs?

    We can use inspiration from many places, including our in stock jewelry. We will create an idea with your favorite pieces and inspiration photos, and design something completely custom to you!

    Is custom design more expensive than already finished jewelry?

    Custom design is a one of a kind piece. We typically find that for similar quality, carat weight, and style, custom design is relatively similar in price to comparable finished pieces.

    Can you use my stones?

    Absolutely! We love designing special pieces with sentimental stones.

    Is there a charge for the design process?

    NO! We offer this service at no charge. When you decide the piece is perfect and you are ready to order, we ask for a 50% deposit.

    How will I visualize the finished piece?

    With the use of 3D images and video, and a wax model to try on to confirm physical size, we can imagine the finished product before we order the piece.

    Referral FAQs

    How do I refer a friend?

    Ask us for a referral card any time. We often enclose them with your paperwork. Fill out the card and have your friend present it at the time of purchase. They can use it on their purchase of $750 or more, and you will receive a credit on your account!

    How do I redeem my referral gift card?

    If you have referred a friend, your friend redeems their discount, we will place a $200 credit on your house account to be used at the time of your next purchase!

    Layaway FAQs

    Do you do layaway?

    Yes! If you need additional time to pay before you are ready to get down on one knee, Flora Gems is here to help.We will set your selection aside, with your name on it, giving you 6 months to pay.

    How much do I need to pay to start a layaway?

    10% deposit of the purchase price is required for layaway with 6 months to pay in full.
