Check return and exchange policies before buying
Gift recipients sometimes want to exchange a size or style. Confirm the seller's exchange policy before purchase, especially for sized items like rings and bracelets.

For jewellery preferences you are unsure about, some businesses offer store credit or vouchers — worth asking about directly if you are not confident about size or style.
