Sizing and Fitting
What is the difference between comfort fit and regular?
Comfort fit is rounded on the inside, making it easier to slide on and off. All of our rings are made with comfort fit unless you specifically request otherwise. Comfort fit runs slightly smaller, so if you are an 8 in a regular fit, you may be closer to a 7.5 or 7.75 in comfort fit.
How should I get my finger sized?
If you are in Philadelphia, you may come by our show room to get sized. If not, any local jewelry store should offer free sizing. When you get sized, take note of which type of sizers they used- thin, wide or comfort fit (meaning they were rounded on the inside). Jewelers will not have quarter sizes, but will be able to determine if you need a quarter size or not.
Jewelry and Metals
What is rhodium plating?
Rhodium plating is necessary to achieve a bright white finish on white gold. White gold’s true color is off white. Since gold comes out of the ground yellow, we add white alloys to it to create white gold. Since we can never achieve a perfect bright white, white gold gets plated with a thin coat of rhodium, a rare metal that is a member of the platinum group. Our rhodium plating price starts at $97 which includes the necessary polish before a piece is plated.
Which metal is best?
The best metal varies on a case by case basis. The most cost effective are the 14kt golds. If you are ordering a band and do not trust yourself with an expensive ring, start with sterling silver. If you are allergic to most metals, go with platinum.

What warranties do you offer?
Our warranty policy covers all of the jewelry purchased from Emily Chelsea Jewelry. This warranty covers all manufacturer defects in material or workmanship but does not cover neglect and abuse, natural wear and tear or stone loss over .20cts (this gets covered by your insurance).
Warranty exceptions and exclusions:
1. Any damage to jewelry caused by neglect, abuse or natural wear and tear. Damage, such as being hit or knocked, is easily detectable under magnification. For example, if a ring wears thin or prongs wear out due to neglect or natural wear and tear, the warranty is considered void. Additionally, if a ring becomes out of round and thus causes stones to fall out, this could be due to damage to the bottom of the ring when being worn.
2. Any jewelry that has been repaired by another jeweler. We cannot be held responsible for merchandise that has been worked on by another jeweler.
3. The loss of a stone over .20 carats. Larger stones (over .20cts) can be covered by your insurance if you have submitted it for coverage with an appraisal. If you need to have a stone like this replaced, please go through your insurance company first.
4. Damage to your center stone. While diamond is the hardest mineral on earth, it is still subject to breaking or chipping. All other stones that are lower on the hardness scale are subject to damage from regular wear. Please be aware of this when choosing your center stone.
If you need to return merchandise due to defects, please contact us here. Once received, we will carefully examine the defected merchandise and determine if the above criteria is met. Once approved, we will ship out your replacement item at no additional charge within 10 business days.
Emily Chelsea Jewelry reserves the right to reject any returns that do not comply with the conditions stated above.
