      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On 6/29/23 we purchased a custom diamond engagement ring $4337.57 and the selections we paid an extra premium of $1,295.00 for triangular shaped side stones and they came round. There’s no photos that pop up on the Mobil site of Alexis Russell Jewelry so we were going off the ********* pictures and website pictures on a previous page. We reached out to them because the side stones came round and not triangular . They said there are three color options when you select the “Jade” style black, white, or salt and pepper. The salt and pepper option was picked to match the center stone. The stones are round and not triangular like the description. They responded that that color is rounded and not triangular. If this is the case it should be listed and described on the site. They want $685 to rebuild the ring with the options their website describes, plus the cost of the stone replacement. I was willing to pay the stone replacement but the cost to rebuild is unfair do to their misleading website.

      I have been admiring the rings from Alexis Russell for YEARS, and I am so sad I have to write this post. I love my ring so much, but I have only had it for six months and tried to suck up the issues we had from the start with the ring. About a month ago I finally had it with the fact they laid the stones improperly, there were gaps/spaces between stones and I thought I could suck it up but 1.) it was an eye sore for me because I look at my ring constantly throughout the day and 2.) it had me anxious that the stones were going to fall out. Also, the band was so much thinner than we imagined which made the ring constantly spin on my finger even though it is my proper size (confirmed with a local jeweler). I was uncomfortable shipping the ring back to New York to have them fix it. We decide to go to a local jeweler that people raved about and I am SO happy we did it sooner rather than later. My ring is fairly simple, low profile with a center stone and a smaller diamond on each side. The jeweler originally thought it would be an easy fix, come to find out it was a "monster" due to the casting and how they laid out the ring. I went to pick it up, and the jeweler straight up told me it was going to be a "remake" once we brought it in again. He showed me all of the imperfections and explained all the issues. They completely casted the gold wrong which led to having air pockets. It was genuinely a blessing we found this sooner rather than later. My fiancé spent a hefty amount on this ring, and we are at fault as we did see the negative reviews other places but really hoped the good reviews we did see lived up to the expectations. We have decided to have the local jeweler remake the ring for us instead of dealing with AR again. We are now spending $500+ to get something fixed that should have been 1000% correct the first time, especially for how much it cost. Please beware if you are looking at these rings!
