At Farsi Jewelers in Sandy Springs, we know jewelry shopping comes with questions. From custom design timelines to diamond certificates and appraisals, here are clear answers. If you don't see what you need, call or text 770-206-8000 or book an appointment.

Custom Design & CAD in Sandy Springs (Atlanta)

How does the custom process work?

Consult → CAD preview → optional 3D wax try-on → your approval → casting. Built for zero surprises. Start here: custom jewelry design in Atlanta.

Can I change the design after I see CAD?

Yes. We revise the CAD until you approve. Changes after casting may incur fees. Learn about our 3D Bespoke Method.

What if I'm not happy with the prototype?

We adjust or remake it before casting — you only move forward once you approve the design.

What if I don’t like it when I see it?

Nothing is cast until you approve it. You see a photorealistic CAD render, and on most pieces a 3D-printed model you can put on your hand, before any metal is poured. Changes at that stage cost nothing — that is the whole reason we work this way. The centre stone is quoted separately from the ring, so swapping it is arithmetic rather than starting over.

What if the ring size is wrong?

We size it. On any ring we make, sizing and fine-tuning the fit are complimentary within the first 90 days after pickup, done here in Sandy Springs. Standard sizing limits apply.

How do I know I am getting the exact diamond I picked?

Your stone is identified by its grading report number, and you get that number when you order — before the piece exists. The report is issued by GIA or IGI, not by us, and you can check it directly with the lab. If your stone carries a laser inscription of that number on the girdle, we will show it to you under magnification.

Can I see a ring on my hand before it is made?

On select pieces there is a 3D view on the product page you can turn and look at from any angle, and on a phone you can hold up your hand and see the ring there. We are adding it across the custom design and engagement ring collections, and we can set one up for a particular piece on request — just ask.

Can I see how my custom jewelry is made?

Yes — and not only in general. You follow your own piece: the CAD render, then the 3D-printed model, then photographs added to your order as the work moves through the bench. We also filmed the full process — CAD to casting to polish — in our Sandy Springs studio. Watch the behind-the-scenes video

How long do custom designs take?

Most projects finish in 2–4 weeks from approved design. Rush service available.

Diamonds, Lab-Grown & Certificates

Do you sell lab-grown and natural diamonds?

Yes. We offer both, with independent grading documentation and full specs. Explore lab-grown diamonds in Atlanta.

Do your diamonds come with certificates?

Yes. Every center diamond includes an independent third-party grading report — GIA or IGI, depending on the stone.

How do I know if a diamond is natural or lab-grown?

We label each diamond clearly as natural or lab-grown, and it comes with its own independent grading report from GIA or IGI.

Can I see the certificate before purchasing?

Absolutely. We provide the certificate number and a copy so you can verify with the issuing lab.

Are your diamonds conflict-free? Do you use recycled metals?

Yes to both. All diamonds are ethically sourced, and we incorporate recycled precious metals wherever possible.

Traceable & Verified Jewelry — Sandy Springs & Atlanta

What does "traceable & verified" jewelry mean?

It means you can see where your diamond or gemstone came from, how it was graded, and which metals were used — with documentation you can independently verify. We built a dedicated resource here: Traceable & Verified Jewelry (Sandy Springs).

How does Farsi Jewelers verify diamonds and metals?

For diamonds and gemstones, we rely on third-party grading from GIA or IGI where applicable, laser inscriptions, and supplier chain-of-custody documents. For metals, we prioritize recycled gold and platinum with refinery attestations. Your paperwork will match your stone and setting.

Can I review the documents before I buy?

Yes. In-store or by video or phone, we'll show you grading reports, inscription photos, and sourcing notes before purchase. You can cross-check report numbers directly with the grading lab.

Do you carry recycled gold and platinum?

Yes — recycled precious metals are available for most custom and repair projects. Ask about recycled 14K/18K gold and platinum when you visit.

Is traceable jewelry more expensive?

Not necessarily. Pricing depends on the stone's cut/size/quality and the chosen metal. We'll walk you through transparent options that fit your budget.

How can I get started locally?

Book a quick consult with our GIA Graduate Gemologist. We'll pull a few traceable options to compare side-by-side in Sandy Springs. Book an appointment.

Appraisals

Do you provide an appraisal with purchases?

Yes. Any piece we make includes a complimentary appraisal for insurance — there is no minimum value, just ask. Same-day turnaround, delivered as a PDF, with a printed copy on request.

Who prepares the appraisal?

Prepared by our in-house GIA Graduate Gemologist and accepted by major insurers.

Repairs, Resizing & Care

How long do repairs or resizing take?

Many repairs are done the same day; ring sizing and prong repair take longer, and we give you a date when you drop the piece off. Rush service may be available — please call ahead. See jewelry repair services.

Resizing, prong tightening and chain repair are quoted per piece, after we take a look.

Do you clean jewelry for free?

Yes! We provide lifetime cleanings and inspections for pieces we make.

Is sizing free on a ring you made for me?

Yes, within the first 90 days after pickup we size and fine-tune the fit at no charge. After that window, sizing is quoted as a normal repair. Standard sizing limits apply.

Do you offer a warranty?

Our Lifetime Care includes complimentary cleaning, inspection, and a 90-day complimentary adjustment period for any custom piece. Learn more on our Lifetime Care page.

Policies, Shipping & Financing

Can I return a custom ring?

Custom and personalized pieces are non-refundable once production begins, and we make sure you approve the design before casting.

What is your return window on other items?

7 days on unworn, non-custom jewelry in original condition. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility and returns must be sent with tracking. See our Refund Policy.

Is shipping insured?

Yes — insured, trackable, and signature required. Free shipping on orders over $350 within the U.S. We ship within the United States only.

Appointments & Services

Do you offer video or phone consultations?

Yes — in-store, or by video or phone. Booking online reserves an in-person visit; if you would rather meet by phone or video, call or text 770-206-8000 and we will set it up, including outside normal store hours. Book an appointment.

Can you engrave?

Yes — same-day laser engraving from $45 per line for dates, initials, and messages, in any font and any language, including Hebrew, Farsi and Arabic.

We are not limited to lettering. Symbols, logos, family crests, signatures and drawings can be engraved exactly as given, and are quoted separately once we see the file — the price comes from preparing the artwork, not from running the laser, so a simple symbol is quick while a photo or handwriting has to be converted first. It costs less if you bring a vector file (DXF, AI, EPS or PDF), and if all you have is a photo or a screenshot we can convert it for you.

Hand engraving is also available for special and heirloom pieces — monograms, crests, and other detailed handwork — priced per piece, typically 2–3 weeks from final design approval. Learn more about engraving →

Do you price-match?

We aim to stay competitive in Metro Atlanta. If specs are comparable, ask us and we'll see what we can do.
