How is GOODSTONE different from Mejuri?

We handcraft each piece from scratch in Los Angeles instead of mass-producing thousands of identical items. The same artisans work on your ring from start to finish with quality control at every stage, eliminating the inconsistency that comes with large-scale production. Our lifetime warranty covers repairs, resizing, prong checks, and cleaning forever on all custom pieces. Mejuri offers a 2-year limited warranty that excludes normal wear and requires payment for repairs after the warranty period ends. You work with one expert designer who builds your ring to your exact specifications instead of selecting from existing inventory.

Where are GOODSTONE rings made?

We handcraft all jewelry in Los Angeles, California, with generational artisans who combine traditional techniques with modern precision standards. Our workshop handles casting, stone setting, metalwork, finishing, and quality inspection under direct oversight. We use 100% recycled precious metals that get re-refined to match newly mined quality while using 95% less energy. Made in USA means you know exactly where your ring gets made and who's making it.

What's included in the lifetime warranty?

Your warranty covers repairs, resizing on non-eternity rings, cleaning, inspection, and prong checks for as long as you own the ring. Annual maintenance is included. These services never expire and cost nothing when you use them in year one or year twenty. Mejuri's warranty ends after 2 years.

How long does it take to get my ring?

Production takes three to four weeks after you approve the final design. Our Los Angeles workshop handles casting, stone setting, finishing, and quality inspection in sequence. We ship fully insured via FedEx 2-Day for orders under $10,000 and FedEx Overnight for orders over $10,000.

Can I get true custom design?

Yes. We offer full custom design from scratch. You describe what you want, and we build it exactly to your specifications with zero pre-made templates. Mejuri operates with thousands of existing designs from where you select from their inventory. We start with nothing and create based entirely on your vision, not our existing catalog.

Can I return a custom ring?

Custom rings cannot be returned because each piece is built specifically for you after you approve the design. Nothing exists until you commit, which means we source materials and craft your ring based on your exact specifications. We focus on ensuring you're completely satisfied before production begins through detailed consultations and design approvals. Our designers work closely with you throughout the process to make sure the final piece matches your vision exactly.

Are lab-grown diamonds available?

We offer both natural and lab-grown diamonds, so you can choose based on your priorities. Lab-grown diamonds cost 30-50% less than natural equivalents while maintaining identical physical, chemical, and optical properties. Both options come with full certification and the same Excellent Cut grade standards. We present information objectively without pushing either choice. You decide what matters for your situation and values, and we source the diamond that matches your decision.

How much does a custom engagement ring cost?

Your total depends on which setting style you choose and your diamond specifications. We price 20-30% below traditional jewelers. ShopPay financing lets you spread payments over time. We believe in meeting you where your at without any surprises. The price includes all lifetime services with no fees added later.

Mejuri Alternative

Mass production means inconsistent quality. Mejuri produces thousands of identical pieces with mixed results - some last years, others break within months. GOODSTONE handcrafts each ring from scratch in Los Angeles with the same artisans from start to finish, lifetime warranty included, and zero pre-made inventory.

Handcrafted Quality vs. Mass Production Inconsistency

Mejuri operates at scale, producing thousands of identical pieces across multiple facilities. When you buy from a mass-market brand, quality varies - some pieces last years while others break within weeks. Stones fall out after months, clasps break under normal wear, earring backs too loose to stay on.

We handcraft every piece in our Los Angeles workshop with the same artisans from start to finish. Stone setting, metalwork, finishing, and quality inspection happen in the same facility by coordinated craftspeople who stake their reputation on durability. No mass production, no quality lottery, complete consistency

Mejuri's 2-year warranty excludes normal wear and tear, tarnishing, scratches, bent rings, and broken chains. After two years, every repair costs money. Our lifetime warranty is in place to cover repairs, resizing, cleaning, inspection, and prong checks permanently on all custom jewelry. These services never expire.

Work With One Designer Who Knows Your Vision

One expert designer handles your entire project from first conversation through all the details. This person learns your taste and makes recommendations based on your specific situation.

Watch Your Ring Get Built From Nothing

Your ring starts as raw metal and loose stones. Our Los Angeles artisans meticulously craft your piece in three to four weeks. You have the peace of mind that your piece is uniquely yours instead of receiving a pre-made piece.

No Hidden Fees, No Surprise Charges

The price includes lifetime resizing, lifetime repairs, free cleaning, free prong checks, and fully insured shipping. Other jewelers list these as separate services or charge after warranty periods expire. We build every guarantee into the base price so you pay once and maintenance costs nothing later.
