If you have been to our studio here in Boston, you have seen our massive library of sands, rocks, bones and all other earthy materials from around the globe.  Any material on this great planet can be crushed into an inlay in your wedding ring.  What brings warmth and beauty to a wedding ring like Gold?  Send us your grandparents wedding rings or any gold you have and we will sprinkle it into your wedding rings.

Maybe you have an old broken gold wedding ring you would like to use?!

We can also supply the gold for you if you do not have any sentimental gold you wish to use.  Many people, however, prefer to send us their own gold.  We are happy to use any personal materials you would like to provide. You can bring in (OR SHIP!) your own personal gold to be used in your rings.  About a tablespoon or a single ring will do so that we can file the left over under your name.  With our Premium Lifetime Care, we promise to re-make your ring for free if you lose it.  If we have your gold on file, that makes that very easy to do.

FAQs

Q: How do I get sized?

A: WE STRONGLY SUGGEST PURCHASING MINTER & RICHTER CUSTOM SIZERS to guarantee you get the absolute perfect fit for your ring. The industry-wide standard for ring size carries many variables (different measuring tools, ring widths, ring materials, and design). Factory-made bands are sized LESS accurately than our handmade bands. Therefore, getting sized at a factory jewelry store does not guarantee that the size will be correct. We offer Sizing Exchanges for life for half price. But getting Custom Sizers ensures that you will not need a sizing exchange. A sizing exchange is 50% the cost of the original if you were not sized on our custom sizers.

1. Minter & Richter Custom Aluminum Sizers ($45 for a set of 3 sizers): If you have a general idea of what your ring size might be, we can make you a set of custom aluminum sizers (plain aluminum bands) in three different sizes at your preferred width. This allows you to spend time wearing each sizer for a day or two and finding out which one offers the most comfortable fit. Finger size can fluctuate slightly throughout the day due to water intake, temperature, etc. so this is an excellent way to get an accurate representation of exactly how your final ring will fit. We request that customers purchase their final ring(s) at the same time as the sizers. We will ship you the sizers along with a SASE for convenient return (domestic only – international must pay for return shipping). Once you confirm your ring size we begin making your rings with unconventional ring materials! 

(**Please note that sizers can add approximately 2 weeks to order proce
