FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing & Fit
How do I know my ring size?
If you don't know your size, you can measure it at home in two ways:
Option 1 — Measure a ring you already own (most accurate)
- Place the ring on a ruler.
- Measure the inside diameter (edge to edge, across the center) in millimeters.
- Match it to the size chart below.
Option 2 — Measure your finger
- Wrap a thin strip of paper around the base of your finger (snug, not tight).
- Mark where it overlaps and measure the length in millimeters.
- Match it to the circumference chart below.
If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up slightly for comfort. Our standard sizes are US 6 and 7. Select designs are also available in size 5. If you require another size, we can produce your ring through preorder (approx. 4 weeks).
Still unsure? Send us your measurement (mm) and the finger you'll wear it on, and we'll recommend the best size.
What ring sizes do you offer?
Our rings are stocked in US sizes 6 and 7, chosen as our standard sizes for comfort and proportion. Select designs are also available in size 5. Additional sizes are available through preorder. Each custom ring is produced specifically for you and typically requires about four weeks.
Can rings be resized?
Some pieces may allow resizing depending on structure. Not all sculptural forms permit modification. Please contact us for evaluation.
Materials & Craft
Are Gambaro gemstones natural?
Yes. All gemstones are natural and individually selected. Variations in tone, inclusions, or surface are part of their origin and character.
What is sterling silver 925?
Sterling silver 925 is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver, the standard for fine silver jewelry. Our silver pieces are hallmarked 925.
What is gold vermeil?
Gold vermeil is a fine jewelry construction made with a base of solid 925 sterling silver, coated with a generous layer of 18k gold.
Our vermeil pieces are finished with 2.5 microns of 18k gold—a substantially thicker layer than conventional gold plating—offering greater richness, durability, and depth of color.
The result preserves the value and structure of a precious-metal base while achieving the presence and finish of gold.
Will finishes change over time?
Jewelry evolves with wear. Softening finishes or subtle surface marks are natural signs of interaction—not defects.
Do you offer solid gold pieces?
Yes. Selected designs are available in solid 18k gold or produced in gold by request. Availability may vary by piece.
Our solid 18k gold pieces are hallmarked 18k.
Will my piece look exactly like the photos?
As much as possible. Because our pieces are handcrafted and use natural stones, small differences in tone, inclusions, texture, and polish are part of each piece. Screens also vary in color. If you'd like to see a piece in person or on video before deciding, write to us.

Care & Wear

We recommend keeping each piece in its Gambaro pouch when not worn to protect surfaces and gemstones.
Can I wear my jewelry every day?
Pieces are designed to be lived with. However, removing jewelry during high-impact activities helps preserve finishes and structure.

Some pieces are available immediately, while others may require production time — especially custom or gold requests. Our team will always communicate timelines clearly.
Can I request customization?
Depending on the design, certain adjustments may be possible. Each request is evaluated individually.
Is the piece I want in stock?
Availability changes. Contact us and we'll confirm whether the piece is available now or needs production time, and give you a clear delivery date before you pay.
What if a piece is out of stock or I need a different size?
Contact us. Many pieces can be produced by request (rings typically take about four weeks). We'll confirm the timeline and price before you commit.

Which pieces cannot be returned?
Made-to-order and customized pieces, including rings produced in a size that is not in stock, since they are made specifically for you.
