Frequently Asked Questions

Anna Sheffield Fine Jewelry is committed to the highest degree of sustainable, ethical and responsible practice. All sourcing and production is done in accordance with these principles, including the use of recycled metals and conflict-free stones, as well as rare and exceptional reclaimed and antique diamonds. All modern diamonds used in ceremonial rings are compliant with the Kimberley Process via their source, and GIA-certified diamonds are provided upon request.

3. Note any changes, additions or special details you’d like to include in your bespoke design.

We love working with Heirloom stones, but need to first ensure that the stone is suitable. We ask that clients provide a few specific details to make this determination; quality and condition will inform if and how a stone may be used, while the shape, color and cut relate to the possible design. Please send a photograph and as much information on the stone as possible, including carat size, millimeter dimensions and GIA certification if applicable.

Please have your stone appraised prior to your appointment to determine its valuation.

We provide a one-year warranty on our jewelry from the date of delivery. Your warranty includes:

• One complimentary resizing on rings and bands as styles allow.
Repair or replacement due to a defect in materials or workmanship.
• Your warranty does not cover wear during normal usage under the conditions for which it was designed, neglect or accidental damage.
• Repairs or service by another jeweler will void your warranty.

We also offer a six month limited warranty on our turquoise, emerald, pearl and opal jewelry, as softer stones require more care than diamond and other gemstone pieces. Please read about our suggested care for your fine jewelry here.

For additional information or if any issues arise in the first year, please reach out to the salesperson who helped you, or email us at info@annasheffield.com.

In or out of warranty, we are always happy to assist you with your resizing and repairs. You can work directly with the salesperson who helped you previously, or start a conversation to get an estimate here.

Please send all repair and resize requests to our team at info@annasheffield.com. Include the name on the order and desired work to be completed on your item. Our team will respond in 2-5 business days with instructions on how to ship your item back to us and the timeline for the repair work to be completed.

We provide three financing options; Bread, Klarna, and Shop Pay.

We are happy to provide you with an evaluation report once your purchase is complete. Evaluation reports document the retail value of each piece for insurance purposes. Please note, however, that an evaluation report is not an appraisal. A formal appraisal requires an independent assessment by a certified appraiser, and is unfortunately not a service that we can offer.

We always recommend that you insure your jewelry, but do not offer insurance through Anna Sheffield.

Our shipments are fully insured while in transit, but we do not provide coverage for your purchases once they have been delivered. We always recommend you insure your pieces to protect against loss, theft or damage, and suggest our partners at Jewelers Mutual for the safe keeping of your fine jewelry. If you have additional questions, one of our sales associates will be happy to help you.
