Engagement Ring FAQ

DIAMOND ORIGIN

Every diamond from the Consider Bridal engagement line is handpicked for you and comes with an authenticity report. We hope to educate our customers on the diamond trade and how the entire system works so they can make the most educated decision possible. 

For earth mined diamonds, we work with vendors that adhere to the Kimberley Process - a process established in 2003 to ensure that diamond purchases are conflict-free. We treasure earth mined diamonds because of the value and story of mined diamonds.

For lab grown diamonds we work with a lab that is carbon neutral and therefore is ethical and just as green as mining. Lab grown diamonds are gaining popularity and we are proud to supply lab grown diamonds to clients that are interested in them. In general, lab grown diamonds are approximately 30% less expensive than earth mined. Since lab grown diamonds are newer to the market, it is hard to say how the value with hold up over time. We would not recommend purchasing a lab grown diamond if you are hoping to sell it as an investment down the line. But for the sentimental client that plans to keep their stone and pass it down, lab grown is a fantastic option.

TIMELINE

There are many steps to building your engagement ring. From start to finish the process takes approximately 6-8 weeks. With custom rings the process can be closer to 8-10 weeks in total. If you are in need of a rush please contact us at hello@considerthewldflwrs.com, and we will do what we can to accommodate your request.

PAYMENT

We accept all major credit cards as well as cash in our flagship. We also offer Affirm as our financing partner. To start production, we require payment upfront in full. If you need financing for your ring we recommend securing this on the front end.

ENGAGEMENT RING & WEDDING BAND GUARANTEE

We guarantee our rings to be free of manufacturing defects. If you believe your ring (mounting) has a defect you may contact us within 24 hours of delivery. We will repair or replace your defective ring as deemed appropriate. Consider the Wldflwrs will cover the cost of all repairs under normal wear for the first year after purchase. Center stones are not included in this warranty and would need to be covered by way of insurance. Past the first year, we can fix anything you send us! Just know there may be a small fee for rings that are 'well-loved.' Prong checks and ring cleanings are included for life. We are also happy to resize your piece or make minor adjustments as needed in the future.

To be eligible for the warranty:

- Diamond(s) must not be exposed to unreasonable force or harmful conditions.

- The warranty does not apply to a product that has been stored or handled incorrectly, abused, altered, or treated by incorrect cleaning methods.

- The piece must not be altered or resized by any other jeweler.

- Warranty is applied to the original purchaser of the product; the warranty is not transferable.

WHAT DO I GET WHEN I BUY A RING?

Every traditional diamond purchase from Consider Bridal by Consider the Wldflwrs comes with a certificate of authenticity and an appraisal for the estimated retail replacement cost of your piece. You will also receive a box for your engagement ring and the opportunity to sign up for insurance through Jeweler's Mutual. Read more about insurance below. We do not include appraisals on wedding bands and some alternative engagement ring styles.

GETTING YOUR RING INSURED

We highly recommend insuring your engagement ring and wedding bands. We have a system in place to help set up our clients for insurance immediately to protect their new purchase, however, you may also choose to add on a line item to your homeowners or renters insurance or personalized jewelry insurance.

I NEED TO HAVE MY RING SERVICED, BUT I AM NOT NEAR YOU.

No problem! If you ever need to have your ring serviced, we recommend shipping the item(s) to our storefront to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. When shipping, please insure the package for the entire value of the items shipped. We are not responsible for lost packages.

I HAVE MY OWN DIAMOND, I JUST WANT YOUR SETTING.

We do not set loose diamonds, but we would absolutely love to work with you on resetting your family ring. If your diamond is in a setting feel free to bring it by the flagship or email us at hello@considerthewldflwrs.com for recommendations on next steps.
