PURCHASING
Will my purchase come with an insurance appraisal?
Yes! All pieces purchased from A.J. Martin include a free written appraisal upon request.
Can you size a ring before shipping it to me?
Yes! For our customers, we offer ring sizing either at no charge or our cost, depending on what the piece is made of and whether it's too big or too small. Please inquire by writing us.
Do you offer financing or layaway?
We offer both!
For deferred gratification (layaway), we require ⅓ payment as a deposit. You then have 90 days to complete payment before receiving the item. We can split the payments in any way that is convenient for you. For more information, click here.
We offer one form of financing:
- Affirm gives you the flexibility to finance your purchase over a period of weeks to several months. Depending on the amount financed and your creditworthiness, your rate will be 0% APR or 10-36% APR. For example, a $800 purchase might cost $73/mo over 12 months at 15% APR.

SHIPPING & RETURNS
When and how do you ship?
We ship Tuesday through Saturday and the vast majority of orders ship the day they are placed. For pieces that require sizing, please expect a delay of about a week.
Every item—regardless of price—is fully insured while in transit. Depending on the piece's value, it will be shipped either via USPS or UPS.
All pieces shipped via UPS require a signature.
What is your return policy?
Within 3 days of receiving your piece, you may return it for a refund less our shipping costs, or for store credit if you prefer. After 3 days, returns are for store credit or exchange only. Custom pieces, gift cards, pieces that have been modified, and rings that have been sized are not returnable. More information is available here.

REPAIRS
Do you repair jewelry?
We offer a wide range of repair services, the majority of which are listed here.
How long will it take to repair my piece?
Repair turnaround is highly dependent on the condition of the piece, the complexity of the repair, and the jeweler's current workload. That being said, most basic repairs are currently being returned in about a week. Please get in touch with us to further discuss your repair.
Do you replace watch batteries?
We do not replace watch batteries or perform watch repairs.
CUSTOM DESIGN
Can you help me repurpose jewelry I've been gifted or inherited?
We'd love to help! In the past, we've turned grandma's brooch into rings for her granddaughters. If you know you can't — or won't — wear your treasured piece, let us turn it into something that's more you.
How long does the process take?
Depending on the complexity of the design, custom jewelry can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks to deliver.
How much does custom design cost?
A project's cost is completely dependent on the complexity of the design. One can generally expect designing and building a completely custom piece of gold jewelry to begin at $1,600.
How do I order a custom piece?
The best way to commission a custom piece is by writing us. Please describe what you want in as much detail as possible. We will likely follow up via telephone. Custom designed pieces require 2-8 weeks to complete depending on their complexity.
