About aftercare

Depending on the product you order, we will provide free, unlimited service (some fees may apply) for new finishes (polishing, cleaning), ring resizing, pearl necklace rethreading (re-braiding, inspection), and repairs for your purchased items.

■New finish (cleaning)...You can have your ring or necklace returned to you on the same day. It usually takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the degree of dirt on your ring or necklace and the busy schedule.
■Resizing: We can return your item to you in approximately one to two weeks after receiving it. If this occurs during Hojudo's long holidays (summer or winter), it may take an additional week or so to complete the resizing.

We also provide after-sales service for rings and other products purchased from Hojudo by mail. (For resizing, it is best to come to the store in person to have your size measured, but if visiting the store is difficult, we also accept resizing by mail.)
Once your package arrives at Houjudo, our staff will contact you to inform you of the delivery date, etc.

Price and quality

We are able to offer affordable prices because we are originally a wholesaler and we keep unnecessary expenses down through rent, advertising, and in-house manufacturing. Many customers come to us through referrals from friends and relatives, and we aim to provide excellent service from the customer's perspective. We believe you will be more satisfied if you visit us after visiting other stores.

Of course. With the exception of some special products, almost all loose diamonds come with a certificate. In addition to diamonds with domestic certificates, we also have a wide selection of diamonds with GIA certificates, the most trusted in the world, the same as those used by top international brands (such as Cartier).

About Bridal Ring

An engagement ring is a ring given by a man to a woman as a symbol of their engagement. Most engagement rings are diamond rings, but some people choose other colored stones.

Wedding rings are the rings exchanged between the bride and groom at the wedding ceremony. They are also rings worn by a man and a woman as a pair to symbolize their marriage. It is said that wedding rings came to be worn on the left ring finger due to an ancient Egyptian legend that the blood vessels in the ring finger of the left hand are directly connected to the heart.

Many couples choose the same or similar designs for their wedding rings, but there is no rule that they have to be the same. If fashion is important to you, you can arrange your rings to suit each other, or choose different designs to make them fun to wear.

A bridal ring is a ring designed to allow a woman to wear both her engagement ring and wedding ring together. It is recommended for those who want to continue wearing it together with their wedding ring after marriage.

Hojudo has always set prices as affordable as possible until the last minute, so we do not offer any special benefits to customers who purchase a set. If your wedding is approaching, it is best to purchase them together, but if you have some time until the wedding, we recommend purchasing your wedding rings separately 2-3 months before the ceremony.

We have the processing technology and know-how we have cultivated over the 40 years since our founding, so full custom orders are our specialty.
Our expert advisors will give you advice based on your image and comfort, and we can provide you with an estimate right there and then. You can also check the three-dimensional appearance of the prototype (wax mold) before it is finished in the base metal (platinum, 18K gold, etc.).
Delivery will take longer than regular products (approximately 2 months), so please order with plenty of time.

Of course, we do this free of charge. You can engrave block capital letters and numbers. Other special characters (cursive, kanji, hiragana, patterns, etc.) will incur an additional fee, so please contact us for details.
