Any jewelry store will be able to measure your finger for free, so don't feel bad asking! The string method isn't great because it's easily possible to pull the string too tightly, and it doesn't have to work its way over your knuckle. You can also order a ring sizing tool for a few dollars online. Like this one.

Metals do discolor over time as they're worn, but with a little know-how you can keep them looking new. You should remove your jewelry when showering, working out, or cleaning as water, cleaning products, and sweat can discolor the stone and damage the patina. I recommend using a polishing cloth as opposed to liquid jewelry cleaner (I include a small one with your purchase) so again, you don't damage the patina or stone.

I do my best to accurately represent pieces through photos and descriptions on my website, and it's up to you to look and read to determine if a piece is right for you. I'm not Amazon, and returns are hard on small businesses, so at this time I don't accept them. That being said, if you have questions about a piece to put your mind at ease please email me! I can always send additional photos or measurements. lisa@lakesidesilver.com

Customs are hard for a number of reasons, but as of 2025 I’m not accepting custom work. I have too many irons in the fire to say yes to them right now. Hopefully I’ll have enough brain space to come back to customs in the future.
