Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty 

Warranty

The Benchmark Lifetime Guarantee ensures that your Benchmark ring is covered from any manufacturing defects. Benchmark’s rings are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A and have been for over 40 years.  Manufacturing defects can occur (although rarely) within metals/materials and or stones.  If your ring is registered and you have any issues related to manufacturing, Benchmark will repair or replace your ring free of charge.  If your registered ring ever needs to be resized, refinished and or repaired (due to normal wear) there may be service fees assessed depending on the service type requested. This will be determined by your retailer at the time of your ring's assessment.

Shipping/service charges are the consumer’s/retailer’s responsibility.

Benchmark reserves the right to modify this policy at any time without notice, and/or refuse any registration.

If you do happen to receive a ring that experiences damage due to manufacturing, please contact our customer service team so we can get it taken care of as soon as possible. We will have you send your ring in to be evaluated and assessed for damages. Should a warrantied issue be present, Benchmark will repair or replace the item free of charge. If the damages to the item are not covered under the Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty, a customer service representative will contact you with an estimated cost to repair the damages and for approval to continue with the repairs. If the customer chooses not to have the item repaired, it will be shipped back to the customer in the same condition it was received.

Some examples of common jewelry issues that would not be considered manufacturing defects include:

-The discoloration of precious metals caused by chemicals, make-up, immersion in pools and hot tubs, or bathing.

-Precious metals, and especially prongs, wear down over time and may require restoration work as part of normal wear.

-Prongs catching, wearing out, or bending over time due to everyday wear or normal damage, allowing a gemstone to fall out. The loss of a gemstone caused by damage from everyday wear or from other damage.

How To Find Your Ring Size

Warranty

Getting the right size ring can be tough, but we are here to help! Here are our top 5 recommendations on how to find your accurate size.

METHOD 1 (most accurate):
Order our FREE ring sizing kit with the purchase of a ring to get the most accurate size. When adding a ring to your bag you will be asked if you'd like to receive a sizing kit, click "Order Ring Sizing Kit" and one will be added to your bag along with the pending size ring. We will send you a ring sizing kit after placing the order followed up by an email asking for your size. 

Once you receive the kit, pop out the sizers and choose one that fits snugly. You want to choose a ring that fits over the knuckle but is tight enough that it won’t slip off your finger too easily. Your finger size fluctuates throughout the day so be sure to measure your finger multiple times throughout the day.  Keep in mind if you are not used to wearing a ring it may feel tight at first, so we recommend wearing the sizer for a couple hours to get a sense of how it feels.

 

METHOD 2:
You can also print out our Ring Size Guide for free and get an idea of your finger size that way. Before printing, be sure that you are printing on U.S. Letter paper and that it is scaled to 100%. Uncheck any boxes that say “Fit to Page” or anything similar. Take an existing ring that you already have (that fits the correct finger exactly) and place it over the circles until you find one that matches the inside of your ring.
 

METHOD 3:
You can create your own ring sizer by cutting out the template on our Ring Size Guide. Wrap the ruler around your finger at the base, and pull the tapered end through. We also recommend measuring your knuckle to ensure that your ring will fit comfortably. You will want to choose a size that fits over your knuckle but doesn’t slip off too easily.

Requesting A Service

At Benchmark, we understand that your ring size can fluctuate (especially once you’re happily married)! All services will incur a $45 shipping and handling charge. If the ring has been worn or is not in its original condition, additional sizing and refinish fees will be assessed and will vary depending on the level of work that needs to be done. 

Engraved rings will incur an additional $25 re-engraving fee for all resizes.

Please be aware that your new ring may not look ‘exactly’ like the original; minor variations may occur depending on the type of work that needs to be done. Since the entire ring could be replaced, you may not receive your exact ring back. 

All “Made To Order” rings will incur up to an additional 35% service fee on top of the shipping and handling. The exact fee percentage will be determined on an item-by-item basis.

Steps for a service:

  1.  Head over to our Returns and Services page and choose “Request A Service”.

  2. Enter your Order Number and the email address associated with the purchase.

  3. Select the item you would like to have serviced. Upload up to 3 photos and give us some details of your request. If you are needing a resize, you will be prompted to input your correct size. 

  4. Once submitted, a customer service representative will review your request and will be in touch with you during our regular business hours (Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5pm CST). Additional charges may be needed depending on the scope of the work required.

  5. After approval, you will receive a payment request. Once we have received payment, you will receive a packing slip and will send the item to us.

  6. Once we receive your item, one of our trained professionals will do an assessment of your ring. If the state of the ring does not match what was previously discussed, additional charges may apply. 

  7. After final approval, we will begin the work on your ring. You can expect an email within 6-8 business days confirming your work has been completed. This email will also include a tracking number.
