Ready to Wear Rings FAQ's

Where are the Ready to Wear rings made?

All of our rings are crafted locally right here in Qld, Australia.

On every single ring we work closely, in person with our Violet Gray Jewellers to ensure *she, your ring, is of the highest standards ~ both in material and craftsmanship.

The integrity behind and quality of all Violet Gray pieces is of the highest importance.

*To note : some smaller Ready-to-Wear styles may be crafted offshore, always to the same standards and quality as our Australian-made pieces.

Can these rings be remade / customised?

Yes, absolutely. When a Ready to Wear ring has sold, you’re welcome to enquire about having a variation remade especially for you. Many clients use an existing design as a starting point, adjusting elements such as stone choice, metal, or scale to create something uniquely their own.

Each customised piece is treated as a Made to Order or Bespoke commission and is thoughtfully crafted in consultation with you.

How much is a resize & timeframe?

All Ready to Wear rings include a complimentary resize within two sizes, either up or down.

If a resize beyond this is required, a manufacturing fee may apply depending on the extent of the adjustment. Resizes start at $100 upwards.

Please allow up to 14 days for resizing, from the time your ring is received back into our studio.

Do you use Lab Grown or Natural Diamonds / Gemstones?

Yes. We work with both naturally forming and lab-grown Diamonds, and an extensive range of coloured Gemstones. Stones can also be sourced upon request to meet your individual preferences.

Do these rings have Certificate of Valuations?

All Violet Gray rings (with the exception of wedding bands) are accompanied by a external Certificate of Valuation. This certificate will confirm the materials used in your piece and provides an insurance replacement value for your records.

If you do not require a Certificate of Valuation, please let us know at the time of purchase.

How do I care for my ring?

Fine jewellery is delicate by nature, so to extend the life and maintain the condition of your Violet Gray piece we have curated a compressive care guide.

Do these rings come with a warranty?

Yes – all Violet Gray pieces come with a 6 month warranty which covers all manufacturing faults, defined as such after assessment by our team.

Faults incurred after this timeframe are considered a result of general wear and tear, or from mishandling and are NOT covered by warranty.

Manufacturing faults do not include: broken (or snapped) chains, snapped pendants, misshapen ring bands, bent claws or chipped / cracked / lost gemstones.

Items purchased at a discounted rate (SALE ITEMS) are not covered by warranty.

How long does it take to ship a ring once purchased?

" I'm so glad that my partner Keri dropped hint after hint about Violet Gray. Alex was brilliant to work with from start to finish. While the entire process was stress free, Alex also created a beautiful experience for me. She allowed for and encoured this "bloke" to get creative, enough to ensure that the ring design was beautifully feminine, something that my Keri so richly deserved. And the result was perfect. The ring is meaningful, classic, and perfectly aligned to what Keri and I mean to one another. Thank you Alex! P.S. She said yes! "

" My stunning Engagement ring— a beautiful little masterpiece filled with hidden meaning! From my fiancés birthstone, symbolising the one who stole my heart, to the two tiny Diamonds representing our children, our perfect little family treasures. It’s more than just jewellery—it’s our love story, captured in the most exquisite way possible, and a forever promise I get to wear every day. Alex truly exceeded all my expectations, and I’m so grateful for her guidance, advice, and the incredible care she put into every detail. This ring is everything I hoped for and more, it fits like it was always meant to be on my finger and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.Thank you from the bottom of my heart! "

" Having followed the work of Violet Gray since their very beginning, it felt like perfect timing to create a beautiful piece for my 40th birthday. Creating this piece with Alex was a joy, with my requests of my birthstone, rose gold and a few ideas from VG designs, the rest was left to Alex to create the most beautiful piece of art 💖 the purple / pink hues of the beautiful Rhodolite Garnet are so magical. Alex chose two tiny Green Emeralds which fit perfect to my other pieces and my heart. Finishing off with a special engraving inside the band to remind me of my ‘strength’ and how it has carried me. A process I thoroughly enjoyed, Alex and her crafts-womanship is super special.A statement piece that I will adore forever. "
