I Am Unsure of My Ring Size, How Do Your Rings Fit?

All of our rings fit true to North American sizing. We recommend having yourself sized in person at a local jewelry store, or ordering an affordable finger sizing kit like this one. We do not recommend trying to size your finger from a string or paper from an online template. Note that we do offer quarter sizes and sizes not displayed in our product pages — don’t hesitate to reach out if you do not see your size listed online.

Can a Piece Be Customized?

Yes. Whenever possible we are happy to offer customization. Some examples include engraving, ordering a different color metal (rose or white gold) or changing the length of a chain. Some pieces are more challenging to customize but please reach out with any requests!

Where Do You Get Your Materials?

We make jewelry with integrity. ARK is a female-owned small business operating from Los Angeles, where all of our jewelry is produced and designed. The collection is crafted by a small team of skilled artisans who take pride in their work. In the studio, we recycle as much gold as possible. For non-recycled metal, our caster works exclusively with fair trade, fair mined gold. We work with extremely reputable diamond and gemstone dealers both locally and abroad. Our melee (accent diamonds) are conflict-free and consistently sourced from a single supplier. Diamonds over 0.5ct are individually selected and will be sold with a GIA certificate. Colored stones and the rough stone for our inlay are hand selected on a piece by piece basis.

How Do I Care For My ARK Jewelry?

When not being worn, we recommend jewelry be stored in its pouch. It does not like bleach, household cleansers, hard surfaces, or rough and tumble activities. Please note that ultrasonic cleaning is too aggressive for most gemstones. We recommend professional cleanings annually.

What Is Your Return Policy?

Since each and every piece of jewelry is made to order, we do not accept returns. Our number one priority is that you love your new jewelry. If you are unsure about any aspect of a piece, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to info@arkfinejewelry. We are always happy to send additional photos and details, or talk through a particular piece over the phone prior to purchasing.

How can I have an item repaired?

Please contact info@arkfinejewelry.com with the name of your piece, a photograph if possible as well as an explanation of the issue. We will contact you once we review your request.

ARK NEW COLLECTION FEATURED IN ROBB REPORT: 10 BEST JEWELRY COLLECTIONS FROM COUTURE 2022 in LAS VEGAS

Los Angeles-based designer Ann Korman’s years-long training in yoga, meditation and Vedic astrology, among other spiritual disciplines, helped lay the groundwork for her new Awakenings collection, which celebrates the promise implicit in a sunrise: “Birth, growth, and new beginnings of all kinds,” says Korman.

Combining sapphires in shades of pink, yellow and orange with plique-à-jour, an ancient enameling technique that uses cells of enamel to create a beguiling stained-glass effect, the collection brims with standout pieces, such as the 18k gold bombé-style Sunrise ring, featuring 7 carats of hand-cut sapphires in graduated hues.

Equally distinctive are the collection’s two 18k gold and plique-à-jour statement necklaces: One pays homage to the Om symbol, which is engraved on the back side to acknowledge “how everything in the universe is connected,” says Korman, while the Horizon necklace conceals a Gayatri mantra written in Sanskrit on the back. Intended to be spoken as the sun rises, the words are “said to have the energy to fulfill all desires,” according to Korman. Yes, please!
