Ring Fitting Support
— Pre-Production Size Check Service for Custom Orders
Note: This service is exclusively available for residents of Japan (orders with a delivery address within Japan).
This service allows customers ordering custom pieces (such as gemstone settings or engravings) and fine gold jewelry to verify the exact size and fit at home before final production begins.
Kit Contents
- Sample Ring in Your Requested Size: Try on the ring to check the comfort and fit with the actual band width.
- Ring Sizer Gauge: Measure your exact finger size accurately.
Even if the sample ring doesn't fit perfectly, you can immediately find your correct size using the included ring sizer.

We will send you one semi-finished ring (prior to stone setting/engraving) along with a ring sizer. After trying it on, simply return it to us if the size is right, and we will proceed directly with final finishing.
2. Solid Gold Jewelry (K10 / K14 / K18, etc.)

Materials & After-Care
Every piece at Swing Jewelry is handcrafted using natural materials. As a result, slight variations may occur between individual items. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy the unique characteristics of your jewelry.
Material Characteristics
Natural Stones
Because we use natural minerals, each stone varies in color, pattern, and inclusions.
- We generally do not accept returns based on personal dissatisfaction with these natural characteristics (e.g., "it looks different from the photo").
- We hope you enjoy the one-of-a-kind expression that nature provides.
Silver & Brass
These metals may tarnish or darken over time due to oxidation.
- You can easily restore their original shine by polishing them with a jewelry cloth.
- We hope you will appreciate the developing patina as part of the unique character and "flavor" of the jewelry as you wear it over time.
Maintenance & Repair Services
To ensure you can enjoy your jewelry for years to come, we offer post-purchase maintenance services. Please feel free to contact us via the Contact Form.
- Polishing & Refinishing (Paid Service)
If you are concerned about tarnish or dullness, we offer professional cleaning and refinishing.Note: While fine surface scratches from daily wear can be removed, deep scratches or heavy dents may not be completely eliminated. To preserve the original shape of the design, we will polish the item to blend the imperfections rather than grinding them down excessively. - Resizing (Paid Service)
We offer resizing services after purchase.Note: Some designs cannot be resized due to their structure. - Repairs
We can repair broken chains, loose stones, etc., depending on the condition.Please contact us first with a photo of the item so we can assess the damage.
For International Customers:
While we are happy to offer maintenance and repair services to our international customers, please note that round-trip shipping fees and any potential customs duties will be the customer's responsibility.
