Yes, there are multiple steps in the process where you can see your piece before it is made. We can send customers CAD  computer generated images via email. Also a customer can look at their 3D printed wax before the piece is cast.

CAN I TRADE IN MY OLD DIAMOND TOWARDS A NEW DIAMOND?

Yes, if you purchased the diamond from us we will usually give you what you paid for or more towards a new stone of greater value. Usually, any diamonds brought in that are not synthetic, laser drilled, or fracture filled we will be interested in a trade. We do not carry diamonds with the former characteristics.

CAN WE RECAST A NEW PIECE OF JEWELRY WITH A CUSTOMER’S GOLD?

Yes! Generally we can do this – sometimes people will want to use the gold from a loved ones ring or other pieces to be recast for sentimental reasons. Usually these pieces turn out great, however the gold must be the same color as the new piece being made. 

DO YOU OFFER ENGRAVING ON JEWELRY?

If you buy a piece of jewelry from us we will engrave it for free. We can engrave many pieces such as the inside of a ring, baby cups, and charm bracelet pieces. We do charge for engraving on pieces not purchased here and for all pieces that need to be hand engraved.

DOES HUG JEWELERS HAVE LAYAWAY?

Yes, we don’t charge interest on layaway and are very liberal with our customers. Usually 10-20% down on a piece of jewelry will be enough to put an item in layaway. We work with the customer on a case-by-case basis on what will work best for them, some exclusions may apply.

IF I LEAVE A DIAMOND AT HUG JEWELERS HOW CAN I BE SURE I AM GETTING THE SAME ONE BACK?

We currently have two certified gemologists on staff. When you bring in your stone, one of them can show it to you under the microscope and indicate how to identify your diamond. They can make a diamond plot of your stone to indicate its identifying characteristics which you can use to check your stone when you pick up your piece of jewelry.

WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?
