The best course of action is to get in touch with us by email at [email protected] and we will assist you in resolving the issue promptly.
For our made-to-order rings, production typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. While we strive to craft your ring as quickly as possible, we also ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and perfection.

You will only receive an order confirmation email and a shipping notification email.
It is hard to keep track of an individual order as there are lots of orders being handled at the same time at our studio. Therefore, we do not typically send email updates throughout the production process. However, we will contact you by email if there is a problem with your order or an unforeseen delay.
An order confirmation email with details of your order will be sent to you right after we receive your order. Please make sure to check your spam folder if you cannot find one in your inbox.
If you haven’t received any email confirmations about your order, it is likely the emails were marked as spam or that the email address you entered contains a typo. Some email providers may mark our emails as spam or completely block them. Be sure to check your spam folder for emails about your order, and make sure to add Sunday Island Jewelry to your safe list. If you have questions about your order, please feel free to reach out to us by email.

Yes, we offer free engraving for maximum 15 characters. Please simply leave us a note at checkout with your preferred engraving text.
SIZING & MATERIALS
Yes. Simply add this “Sizing Upgrade Service” to your cart and pay together with the ring:
We highly recommend you to go to a local jewelry store to have your finger measured, or purchase a standard ring sizer from a reputable retailer. Please do NOT use a paper or string to measure your finger since that may result in inaccuracy.
If you use a different type of measurement that is not US ring size, please refer to this standard international conversion chart:
http://www.onlineconversion.com/ring_size.htm
If you are trying to buy someone a ring as a surprise but don’t know his/her ring size, you may try “stealing” one of her existing rings and have it measured at a local jeweler to get an measurement.
If all above fails, you may consider to order a US size 7 which is the most common size for an adult woman. You may have to resize it later if the ring does not fit him/her perfectly, in that case, please refer to our resizing policy.
We take pride in offering high-quality gemstones that are naturally formed and ethically sourced.To ensure transparency with our customers, we explicitly list any lab-grown gemstones in the product description . Rest assured that all of our diamonds and gemstones are ethically sourced and natural.
Yes, we use recycled gold as an effortless option for our jewelry production. Being an Sweden-based company, it is important for us to prioritize sustainable and ethical practices in our operations. By utilizing recycled gold, we can reduce our impact on the environment and support the responsible sourcing of precious metals. It’s our way of contributing to a better future for the planet and ensuring that our customers can feel good about the jewelry they wear.
18K = 75% pure gold (25% other metals)
14K = 57.5% pure gold (42.5% other metals)
Tips: If you are sensitive to nickel, the safest option is to order a platinum ring which has 95% platinum and 5 % other metal.
We can’t change anything once the production begins. However, it is possible to resize your ring at a cost before mailing it to you. Most of our rings can be resized to be 1.5 sizes larger or smaller. In this case, please contact us by email to get further assistance.
We understand how important it is to get the right fit, so we encourage you to double-check your finger size before placing your order. Most of our rings can be resized up or down by about 1.5 sizes. For larger adjustments, a complete remake may be required, and the remake cost is 40% of the ring’s current selling price, due to fluctuating prices of precious metals, labor, and materials.
If you need a resize, feel free to reach out to us by email. Resizing costs typically range from $120 to $180 per ring, plus shipping both ways.

REPAIRS
We take pride in crafting high-quality jewelry that’s meant to last for generations. Proper care is crucial to maintain the lifespan and longevity of your newly purchased jewelry.
If your jewelry becomes damaged, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email. We’ll do our best to repair it, as we believe in the value of repairing and preserving fine jewelry.
There is a reasonable fee for repairing or cleaning your jewelry, typically ranging from $100 to $150 for issues unrelated to the center gemstone. You’ll be responsible for the cost of shipping your jewelry to us as well as the return shipping.
If the center stone is permanently damaged, we can usually help you source a new stone and reset it for a cost of approximately 25-35% of the original price. We encourage you to refer to our care instructions to avoid any potential damage to your jewelry.
YOUR JEWELRY CARE
Remove your jewelry before hand washing, showering, gardening or doing outside work, using cleaning chemicals, applying makeup and lotions, swimming, and exercising. Exposure to any harsh chemicals or heavy pressure will put your jewelry at risk.
You can normally clean your jewelry at home with water, gentle soap, and a soft toothbrush. (exception: Ethiopian opal gems)
Your jewelry contains one or several Ethiopian Opal gemstones
Ethiopian Opal is a delicate stone that requires the wearer to take care of it properly. They are considered hydrophane opals and have the ability to adsorb water or liquids. A contact with water, chemicals, oil or heat may result in a discoloration or a permenant damage. Please do not wear your opal jewelry while cooking, washing hands, taking showers, swimming or any physical activities that will put the stone at a risk of damaging. After every wear, the best cleaning method for Ethiopian opal jewelry is to use a clean, soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dirt, residue, and oils.
Australian Opal gemstones
Australian Opal can be cleaned by soap water and a soft brush. Just avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chemical cleaners.
