Questions
What's the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds?
Natural diamonds form over billions of years in the earth's crust, while lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments using high-pressure technology. Natural diamonds have higher resale value.
How does the custom jewelry process work?
The process begins with a consultation to discuss your vision, followed by CAD modeling, wax prototype creation, and final casting. Most projects take 4-6 weeks to complete.
Do you offer jewelry repair services?
Yes, we provide comprehensive repair services including clasp replacement, ring resizing, and heirloom restoration using professional tools and techniques.
Are lab-grown diamonds a good investment?
Lab-grown diamonds cost 20-30% less than natural diamonds but have limited resale value. Their price has dropped significantly in recent years due to increased production.
What makes Ray-Ward different from other jewelers?
Our 28-year history, family-owned operation, and combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology create a unique customer experience focused on education and service.
Can I trade in my existing diamond?
Natural diamonds purchased from us can be traded in toward larger pieces with full credit toward your new purchase. Lab-grown diamonds typically have no trade-in value.
