I couldn’t have hoped for a more smooth and pleasant experience shopping for a ring. Leigh was so helpful in answering questions, and offering advice and options. The ring we ended up with was exactly what my fiancée wanted, it turned out beautiful, and we will certainly be visiting Leigh again for wedding bands.

I could not have imagined a better engagement ring shopping experience than the one I had with Leigh.
Leigh has a beautifully curated collection of late (1930s) Art Deco rings and more. Since I was specifically looking for a ring from this era, it was refreshing to find a jeweler who not only specialized in this style but also had such impeccable taste.
But most of all, Leigh was kind, welcoming, and genuinely wanted the best for us every time we walked in. He was never pushy, and I had the feeling he would even be willing to recommend other jewelers if he didn’t have what we were looking for.
Leigh was incredibly patient as we tried on countless rings. After our first visit, he found other vintage bands he thought we would like, and it was from these that we found the perfect one. He sourced the diamond, cleaned the ring, and resized it for us, all with exceptional care. His prices are incredibly fair, especially compared to what I’ve seen elsewhere in NYC.
I highly recommend visiting Leigh. Even if you don’t end up purchasing from him, I’m confident he will be a helpful guide in your search.

I got my beautiful vintage wedding band from Leigh and I was so pleased with the experience. Leigh was super responsive via email, I was able to schedule an appointment right away, and he was so kind, patient, and helpful while I was trying on rings. His selection is fantastic and I was thrilled to finally find what I was looking for!

We got our engagement ring from Leigh. He was patient and kind when I was shopping with a girlfriend. He delivered the ring to my fiancé in time for a trip we were taking. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for honest service and great designs!

Leigh was so wonderful to work with! We knew we wanted a vintage wedding band to match my heirloom ring, and searched across NYC for options we could try on in person. He had such a vast collection and so many beautiful pieces to choose from. My Edwardian (1910's) old-mine, hand cut diamond and engraved wedding band (bottom row) perfectly coordinates with our family engagement ring. He also quickly resized it to match my finger and was very kind and helpful throughout the process.

When I was first searching for my wife's engagement ring, I was overwhelmed by the number of options in/near the diamond district. I stopped by Leigh after I saw only 5 star reviews online, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Leigh was so kind, helpful in showing me all the different diamond options, and was not at all pushy. Additionally, he explained everything in such simple terms as I knew next to nothing about diamond characteristics. He resized my wife's engagement ring and has cleaned it on multiple occasions. Fast forward, this is where we went to get our wedding bands and it was once again the best decision. Working with Leigh has been stress free, and I would highly recommend Leigh to anyone searching for engagement rings/wedding bands.

Stop searching if you want a vintage style ring. I looked at rings for over a year. Never liked anything. I am quite picky. I was stopped in my searching tracks when I found this website. My fiancé and I were shopping for 3 rings. A band for her and an engagement and band for me. We found everything we LOVED including Leigh. I was shocked at the service and timely replies from the owner. We have never stepped foot in his store, and shopped from out of state. And let me tell you how much I want to hug this man.
My fiancé fell in love with a ring. Leigh found the perfect sapphires to match her engagement ring. When it arrived and she slipped it on, it swallowed her engagement ring. She loved the ring but it just didn’t match with hers. I felt horrible after all the communication time and work that went in it and now I had to tell Leigh that my love didn’t love her ring. He made returning it easy and worry free. We are going to try styles near home and sending him videos and photos he will make my fiancé her perfect ring. Leigh was more than understanding. He actually wants you to love your piece. Not just make a sale. We love him so much.
My rings… my engagement ring was gorgeous! It was too tight and Leigh noticed in the photo I sent him. He offered to resize it for no charge.
My wedding band was also stunning. I liked it so much I wanted it made into an enhancer and Leigh was again, more than happy to oblige.
Other things need mention-
This man truly loves what he does.
Never once was I asked to go higher on my budget or felt pressured. In fact, everything was under budget.
We live in quiet country. I was having a hard time getting my finger sized. Leigh sent a sizing set to me!!!
The shipping is amazingly well packaged and fast.
He even sends videos as well as photos. He truly understands service and communication. With never stepping foot in his place to try anything on or meeting him; we felt truly cared about and were comfortable with him instantly.
So if you are still debating where to shop, this would be the end of your search. You will not be disappointed.

This place is perfect in every aspect. Winona was so patient, kind, knowledgeable, attentive, professional, everything you name it! My now finance and I knew immediately when we sat down to speak with her that our search for jewelers was done. I was looking for something extremely specific when I first began my search. I sure do wish I had found these awesome people from day one. Everybody and anybody in the market for a truly unique and vintage ring please, do yourself a favor, save a lot of time, headaches and anxiety and just go see Winona at Leigh Jay. You won't find a better price or quality anywhere and you won't find such genuine people anywhere else in the industry. One of kind they are and I am thrilled to see in the above reviews that Leigh Jay and his staff also resonate to so many other happy customers

My husband and I had a wonderful experience viewing wedding bands. Leigh was incredibly helpful scheduling and preparing the appointment for us. My husband selected a vintage band that they resized, engraved, and shipped to us out of state.
Highly recommend shopping and supporting this establishment.

My fiancé and I went ring shopping a few months back and loved the service we received. Scheduling was easy, and the person who helped schedule our appointment was very sweet. Once we arrived for our appointment, Leigh was very knowledgeable and helped me choose the ring. I am obsessed with my ring!! Will definitely recommend!

Leigh is THE. BEST. Not only is he simply an amazing and kind person, he has an incredible selection. A year ago I upgraded my engagement ring to one of his antique settings. He had so many rings to choose from (antique and new) and not once did I feel pressured to go over my budget. I also just bought an anniversary band and once again, A+ experience. Thank you Leigh!

Simply put, I wouldn't even bother looking for jewelry elsewhere. If you're in the market for a ring-- a vintage (or vintage-style) engagement ring in particular-- this is the spot for you.
Leigh and Sarahjane make the whole experience a pleasure. This is a family run business, and it shows. Concerned about being rushed through the experience, pressured to buy, or sold something less than stellar? You needn't worry here. The team at Leigh Jay Nacht will make sure that you are comfortable and well informed every step of the way. They'll also be sure that you (and your loved one) are satisfied with your purchase. Need a re-sizing? Ours was done and returned to us on the very same day.
As for the goods themselves, they've got an unmatched selection. I was particularly impressed with their retro and art deco rings from the 1920s-50s, though you can also find newer and older options, as well. Best of all, the prices are fair. You can walk out with a beautiful piece of history for less than the price of an iPad.
Do yourself a favor and come by.
*Pro tip*- make an appointment first. They're very accommodating, and you don't need to worry about booking far in advance.

After looking around at countless engagement rings, we finally found Leigh and he had a ring that was obviously “the one.” He actually had a few that could’ve been the one but that’s just a testament to all the great options he has. Each piece has such character and charm. And the heart that he puts into the craftsmanship is fully apparent. He also spent so much time talking through each piece to make sure it would all be exactly as we wanted. In an industry where it is so easy to get overwhelmed, Leigh makes the jewelry process so seamless and the quality of his product is just unparalleled.

I can not say enough about the overall experience, expertise and comfort they bring to what can be a stressful experience. I have told all of my friends and family, if you’re looking for that one of a kind wedding ring/engagement ring that embodies the love and uniqueness of your partner, look no further! They are the kindest and most understanding, respectful people I have met in the industry. A pressure free experience that leaves you with a completely different outlook on the industry. Look no further and don’t waste your time with anyone else, they are by far the best !! Much love and appreciation for all of their help.Trevor & Irene

I would encourage everyone to consider getting a custom engagement ring from Leigh. Leigh is very unassuming and doesn't pressure you at all. For me, Leigh matched a beautiful sapphire with one his replica settings and the result was a magical engagement ring. I got our weddings bands here as well. Highly recommend.

I can't express how grateful we are to Leigh Jay Nacht for the gorgeous engagement ring!
We were referred to Leigh Jay Nacht Inc. after getting an heirloom stone appraised, as I mentioned I wanted a vintage inspired setting with some modern detail.
Leigh's shop provided wonderful inspiration for us to participate in the custom design process. They have countless gorgeous vintage and vintage reproduction settings.
Leigh worked for months with us to design exactly the ring I wanted, and I was not an easy customer with a straightforward idea. He spent a lot of time and personal attention walking me through options for various aspects of the design, and incorporated my own idea for a recessed Hexagon Halo to the exact specifications I wanted. He also let me choose the exact rose gold shade I wanted, and made multiple models for me to try on before finalizing the design.
Best of all- he managed to keep the exact finished ring design a surprise, so there was still an element of traditional surprise involved in our proposal.
Leigh and his wife are wonderful folks who provide personalized customer service and my Fiancée Patrick and I are grateful to have them and the custom ring design as part of our story.
We highly recommend them for both custom setting designs, and for anyone shopping for vintage or vintage inspired settings.
We look forward to adding better photos when we get them taken- the photos just don't do this gorgeous ring justice!

I visited a bunch of designers but ultimately worked with Leigh on a custom engagement ring for my fiance, which came out perfectly. Leigh was incredibly easy to work with and openly collaborative in the design process. The style of one of his rings, and his design sensibilities, inspired it; but his willingness to bring a modern touch to some key details resulted in a truly special ring that we couldn't have gotten anywhere else. Very happy all around; great experience and stress free

So thankful to have spent my first ring trying-on experience here! Safe space with appointments available to people who are cautious about going into stores during the pandemic. Super knowledgeable owner/staff who answered all of my questions, knew the inventory quite well, and taught us so much about buying rings in general. They have a great selection of unique vintage rings that are stunning and worth trying on in person. No uncomfortable "salesman" vibes or pressure to purchase at all. Super welcoming, kind, clean, and professional atmosphere.

Really a top notch experience. A few months ago I found myself running through the gauntlet of finding an engagement ring in NYC. After several aggressive visits to the diamond district I found Leigh Jay Nacht while searching for antique engagement rings online. Upon the first visit I was very impressed with their well priced selection and genuinely friendly, non-pushy approach to finding the perfect setting for a family diamond I had. I rarely leave reviews, but this very relaxed and informative experience left a lasting impression and I recommend them to whoever will listen. Many thanks.

My fiance and I went shopping for engagement rings together, not knowing what we were looking for. Leigh's store was our first stop, and nothing we found surpassed his rings. Both Leigh and Kiesha were also lovely to work with. We enjoyed it so much, we also bought our wedding bands with them. Leigh waited for us on a Saturday to come by and spent time with us choosing the right bands for us. When my fiance went to pick them up, Kiesha went out of her way to make sure his size fit perfectly. I could go on about our experience, but I highly suggest anyone shopping for engagement rings and wedding bands visit Leigh Jay Nacht. We are getting married one month from today, and we are so glad our experience began here :)

We have been using Leigh Jay Nacht for Engagement ring, wedding band and first anniversary necklace. Both my wife and I are very happy with the product, service and shipping.
As we live in Europe I was nervous ordering a ring online but it all worked out so well.
I am sure that we will keep using Leigh.

Decided last minute to elope, my husband to be has a size 13 finger and I was determined to find him an antique ring...I was so frustrated and starting to panic when I spoke to Leigh and she just said I have the perfect ring and she did...it was so simple and easy I had the ring the following day. My now husband loves it....one of my best experiences purchasing anything... Set the wedding off on a great foot.

Leigh is the absolute BEST in the business! His unique selection is unparalleled, and the quality of his rings is superb. My husband purchased my engagement and wedding ring 10+ years ago, and we recently went back to Leigh to upgrade the diamond. Leigh took his time to go over all of our options, and recommended a beautiful upgraded diamond. Even after our transaction was complete and we had an unfortunate incident (the prongs on my engagement ring were stained after visiting a remote lakehouse with very hard water, causing my diamond to appear discolored), he INSISTED on sending shipping labels to get it back to him so that he could get it fixed. The ring came back sparkling as beautiful as ever, and we were all the more impressed by his commitment to customer service. I HIGHLY recommend going to Leigh for your next jewelry purchase!!

Leigh is the BEST. This is THE place to go for engagement rings. There is a reason he has the best reviews on every site.
My fiancé and I wanted to pick out a new setting for my grandmother’s diamond, and we were drawn to the unique vintage recreations at Leigh Jay Nacht. Leigh is incredibly knowledgeable and was able to tell us a great deal about our diamond. After trying on a dozen or so absolutely gorgeous settings, we found the one. Leigh worked intently – so much extra work - to make sure the extra details we asked for were perfect. He also walked us through the process of getting the diamond GIA certified and appraised.
Finding the perfect ring with Leigh is like working with an old friend. Leigh is kind, genuine, enthusiastic, and patient. He has a great passion for what he does and creates a comfortable and homey atmosphere in his showroom. The rings and settings are stunning (and also nicely priced).
My ring is so unique and more than perfect. We can’t wait to go back to find our wedding bands. This was such a joy, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Leigh.

My experience was all online and by email. Doing a purchase like this online, where you never get to see the actual product is a bit unnerving, but Leigh and his staff answered all of my questions and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend them, service was efficient and top notch!!! I am looking forward to the next time I get to use them for myself or anyone else who I know is in the market. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed!! A++++ in my book.

Leigh Jay Nacht is a class act. They have stunning rings, and even better service. My fiancé purchased my engagement ring here in 2015, and we just recently came back to purchase my wedding band, and it was such a great experience. Leigh and his team specialize in vintage, and their selection is outstanding. I was able to find something that matched my 1930s engagement ring perfectly! And best of all, no pressure whatsoever! Leigh let me try on as many bands as I wanted to so I found that one the fit me perfectly! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are in the market for vintage classics!

I emailed Leigh Jay Nacht on a whim to find more information on my antique engagement ring and hopefully have some answers to help me find the perfect band to go with it. I got a quick and very thorough response from Winona who even included screen shots of various trademarks and additional information above and beyond about my ring's maker! I am so happy to have this information I just wanted to give a shout out at the excellent customer service even though I was unable to make a purchase from their store. I would consider this store an excellent resource for information about antique jewelry.
THANK YOU!!! :)

Winona, Leigh, and the whole team team at Leigh Jay Nacht were extremely helpful and patient when my wife and I were shopping for our wedding rings.
They have an amazing selection, and when we had a minor issue due to a miscommunication about some of the small details of our order, Leigh himself intervened quickly, calmly and professionally, and made sure we walked away two very happy customers.

My experience with Leigh Jay Nacht was perfect. Winona went above and beyond to make sure I got the ring I wanted. I proposed to my girlfriend in NY where LJN is located. Of course, I got the size wrong and the ring was too big. Winona had us come in and get the ring resized all in the same day so that we could have the ring back before we left NY the next morning.

Had an excellent experience working with Leigh Jay Nacht. My fiance got my engagement ring here and they provided complimentary resizing when it wasn't quite the right fit. :) The ring itself is beautiful and I haven't had any issues whatsoever.
We live in DC so when I wanted to pick out a matching band without going back to NYC, Winona sent me an incredibly detailed email with various options and photos of each one with a ring that matched my own. She made it very easy to feel confident making a decision with zero sales pressure.
If you're in the market and want to work with friendly folks without getting a hard sell while you make your decision, I'd highly recommend Leigh Jay Nacht.

I had the best experience getting my engagement ring here. Winona is a sweetheart and very knowledgable. I came in knowing exactly which ring I wanted since I found it online but she still let me look around to see if there was anything else that caught my eye. She even let us try on their biggest fanciest diamonds just for fun. She put absolutely no pressure on us to buy anything and was just altogether a nice person. Picking up my ring is what put them over the top in customer service. I needed to get my ring sized so I had to pick it up a few days after we bought it. I got the email saying it was ready while I was in the Bronx and I wanted to pick it up on my way home to Brooklyn. I had my car with me and when I called to say I was going to pick it up I asked if it would just be a quick pick up so I can just double park and not have to deal with hellish NYC parking and Winona offered to bring it down to my car! That's right, car side diamond service! She brought my ring right to my car door, had me try in on to make sure it fit and sent me off with a hug. My ring is absolutely gorgeous, as are all their rings, and Winona gave me the best sales experience I've ever had in NYC.

I could not be happier with the ring or service that my fiance and I received from Leigh Jay Nacht. Leigh spent close to two hours with us as I tried on every ring that caught my eye, and he was unfailingly patient. Once he got a sense for the style of ring that I wanted, he pulled a setting from the safe in back and brought out the most perfect piece--I even got a little emotional the second I put it on my finger, so I knew that was the once. Since I wanted a pink sapphire for my center stone rather than a diamond, he sourced several options until he found the perfect stone. It arrived in the mail today and I could not be happier with it. It is stunning. The team at Leigh Jay Nacht is amazing. Beautiful jewelry selection, incredibly kind and patient staff, and an incredible value for a unique, heirloom ring. Highly recommended!

Cannot say enough about LJN. If you are looking for vintage or vintage style rings, make this your first stop. Sure, you might want to look around but I bet you come back to them. Their offerings are unique and fabulous and their prices extremely competitive. And their service is unparalleled. Their customer service is simply the most amazingly personal and perfect service of any I have every experienced from any business I have patronized. I know that sounds way over the top - but it's true! Call them up, chat with Leigh himself or Winona, and go to the showroom if you can. They can also help you long distance. You will be beyond thrilled. I spend way too much time out of every day simply gazing at my ring. It is stunning and timeless and we are thrilled with our engagement ring and wedding band purchase. Thank you Leigh and Winona! We are so happy we you worked with us to find the perfect rings!

Girlfriend and I spent time looking at new rings. Didn't find anything that was knocking our socks off. Got the idea of looking into vintage rings and found a few around town (Portland). Much more interesting than the new ones, but never perfect.
We stumbled across the website finding several beautiful rings, however buying online seemed scary. I decided to call and got Winona on the phone. Am I glad i did! Winona was beyond great, patiently answering every question i could come up with, sending detailed pictures as we asked.
With the assurance of many online reviews and a 30 day return policy, I wired the money. A few days later we got the ring. We are still overwhelmed with it's beauty. It is perfect.
At 100 years old it has wear, hard to see without magnification, but that is part of it's beauty. We have a story, the ring has a story, mysterious and romantic. When her friends see the ring and hear it's 100 years old, they FLIP. So "romantic" they sigh. I agree.
Winona followed up with us on every step of acquiring this amazing and beautiful ring. She even took a call and answered emails off hours. I couldn't recommend Winona and company any more. These are magnificent people who helped us find a unique, one of a kind ring.

We were apprehensive to purchase a wedding band that was out of state, but Leigh Jay Nacht did an outstanding job in their customer service. When I located the wedding band on their website, I was weary if it would fit the curve of my vintage engagement ring. I contacted Leigh Jay Nacht and Winona was so helpful in deciding if the wedding band would fit the curve of my ring. I sent her pictures of my ring and I was amazed that simply by seeing some pictures she could pick out a ring that they had in stock that was almost similar to the curve of my ring! She took pictures of the ring that was similar to the curve of mine next to the wedding band as well as other possibilities that she thought might work. We ended up purchasing the band and the ring was exactly as it appeared in the photos and the way that it was packaged when I received it showed how much they pay close attention to detail. I could not be more pleased with the service I received from this company. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend them to anyone searching for vintage or antique jewelry. I will be returning to purchase another ring in the near future and I would not go anywhere else but to Leigh Jay Nacht. Thank you Winona!

This is THE place to shop for engagement/wedding rings. Timeless rings, amazing selection, top notch customer service. If you're inexperience with shopping for fine jewelry, like me, Winona Richardson will answer any question you ask quickly and effectively. I've tried asking similar questions to other jewelers and their responses were almost insulting, then they let you stumble around while you try and think of how to word your next question so that it makes sense "in jeweler terms." Winona, and the other members of the staff, politely answer any question you pose, and in the same breath answer the next two questions that you haven't even fully formed in your mind yet.
When I started shopping around for an engagement ring to propose to my now-fiance, I knew that her ring absolutely had to be either Edwardian or Art Deco. I shopped around for weeks, in stores and online, and couldn't find anything that really fit the bill. Then I came across Leigh Jay Nacht. My options went from 0-100 in the split second that it took me to load their website. After spending a few days narrowing the search down to just a few different rings I decided to email the shop to see if they could send me some pictures of a few different angles of these rings, and to see how they would look paired with different types of wedding bands. No more than 20 minutes later, I got a response from Winona that included pictures of each engagement ring, paired with two different styles of wedding bands, from 2 different angles (12 pictures total).
I decided to purchase engagement ring #2252-02. It arrived a day early, and my fiance absolutely loves it. She doesn't really like drawing attention to herself, but she doesn't mind all of the attention that the ring is getting from family, friends, and coworkers.
We are about to buy my fiance's wedding band from Leigh Jay Nacht, and Winona has just been the absolute best. All I have to do is send her an email asking "Can we see her engagement ring setting paired with L####, L####, and L####?" and within 5 minutes she sends a response with pictures of the rings we ask to see, PLUS there's always a bonus 1 or 2 similar rings that we might want to consider based on our choices.
Within the next week or so, my fiance will have 2 rings from Leigh Jay Nacht, and I'd say throughout our marriage I will be purchasing quite a few more gifts for her from this amazing shop.

I have to admit, I wouldn't say shopping for an engagement ring was a brief and painless ordeal. Advice from friends and referrals to local jewelers came up short. After laboring over design concepts and available merchandise without any luck, my fiancee helped by providing some images of rings and styles she liked from the web. One of which caught my eye from Leigh Jay Nacht.
Winona at LJN, hands down the most pleasant and knowledgable sales rep in the industry, with whom I was fortunate enough to have help me through the process, was very patient and worked to find the best fit for the right price. When the original item I found online was out of stock, she quickly sourced a beautiful stone of similar shape but better quality, allowing the production team to finish the ring in two weeks.
With a long holiday closing the office for a few days over the course of production, I was pretty nervous the ring would not arrive on the date as described. I planned the proposal well in advance, and any delay would've been a disaster. After speaking with Winona, and explaining my concerns, without hesitation, she fast-tracked our ring, getting it to me a few days early so I would be able to breath easier. Once shipped, Winona spoke rather confidently, while assuring me that what the craftsmen at LJN put together would knock my fiancee's socks off, so to speak. She was absolutely right, and we couldn't be happier.
I would definitely recommend Leigh Jay Nacht for the quality of their work, and be sure to ask for Winona. The only regret was not finding them sooner. Thank you, Winona, and thank you Leigh Jay Nacht!

When I was planning to get engaged I had a lot of concerns about finding the right ring. Many of the stores I looked at had rings that seemed gaudy and overpriced. I was relieved when my fiancee's mother showed me the online collection at Leigh Jay Nacht. They have so many beautiful antique rings, and many of them fit within my budget.
My next concern was dealing with salespeople, particularly in New York's Diamond District. I imagined I might be put under a lot of pressure. My fears were quickly put to rest when I met the salespeople at Leigh Jay Nacht, Kiesha and Winona. They were both very friendly and I felt no pressure to buy. They even encouraged me to save a lot of money by using my grandmother's diamond.
I came back with my fiancée to get our wedding bands and we are both very happy with our purchases. I am grateful to Kiesha and Winona for making the process so easy. I had a great experience at Leigh Jay Nacht.

I had the pleasure of working with Winona to help me in selecting the ideal engagement ring for my fiance. She was fantastic to work with, made the stressful experience very fun, and never tried to pressure me.
I live in Minnesota so it was a bit strange for me to get a ring that I wouldn't be able to see until the final product was shipped to me. But, I was more than impressed with how incredible the ring looked! It fully exceeded my expectations.
If you are like me and have a gal that would love an antique style ring, I highly recommend them!

This was one of a few jewelers we found on the east coast that was able to provide antique style engagement rings at an affordable price. I was skeptical about ordering an engagement ring online without being able to see it in person, so I put a lot of faith in Winona . She was able to provide us with a style that suited the wife's-to-be tastes and many customizable options. Since we wanted a discontinued item that would require a modification to an existing design, Winona crafted the ring and provided high-resolution photos before we purchased it. When it arrived, my fiancee was thrilled! After about a week, the primary stone became a little loose (this is anticipated within the first 4-6 weeks) and we took it to a local jeweler to have it tightened. He noticed that the casting created a few voids within the prongs and suggested that we send it back for corrections.We called Leigh Jay Nacht the next day to explain the problem. Without hesitation, they request us to send it back and they would inspect it and correct any issues - they even provided the shipping label. Although the ring did have a minor issue, we are very happy that Leigh Jay Nacht stands behind their products and provides remarkable service, for this quality is almost impossible to find at other jewelers we have purchased from. We highly recommend LJN.

I highly recommend everyone at Leigh Jay Nacht jeweler. I was given an antique engagement ring and wanted to make sure that it was strong enough to wear and needed to have it resized. Winona was incredibly nice and helpful teaching us about the ring and reassuring me that it was strong enough. They were so knowledgeable, nice and had such great prices that we ended up getting both of our wedding bands created through them. They were a dream to work with, I’m so glad we found them.
