Customer Care

Questions, answered.

From custom design appointments in our Lubbock showroom to caring for an heirloom piece, find everything you need to know about Thacker Fine Jewelry.

01

Orders & Shipping

How we package, ship, and protect every piece on its journey to you.

How long does shipping take?

In-stock pieces ship within 1-2 business days from our Lubbock showroom via insured FedEx. Standard delivery arrives in 3-5 business days; overnight service is available at checkout for time-sensitive gifts and proposals.

Is my order insured during transit?

Yes. Every shipment is fully insured for its declared value and requires an adult signature on delivery. We will email you a tracking number the moment your piece leaves our showroom.

Do you ship internationally?

At this time we ship within the United States only. For international inquiries please contact our team and we will do our best to make arrangements.

Can I add a gift message or special packaging?

Absolutely. Every order arrives in our signature presentation box at no charge. Add a handwritten gift note at checkout, or call the showroom to arrange custom wrapping for proposals and anniversaries.

02

Returns & Repairs

Our promise: if it is not perfect, we will make it right.

What is your return policy?

In-stock items may be returned within 30 days of delivery in their original condition for a full refund. Custom and engraved pieces are final sale, as they are made one-of-a-kind for you.

Do you offer repairs and resizing?

Yes. Our in-house jewelers in Roaring Springs handle resizing, prong retipping, stone tightening, polishing, and chain repair. Pieces purchased at Thacker receive complimentary cleaning and inspection for life.

Can you repair jewelry I did not buy from Thacker?

We do, gladly. Bring the piece to our Lubbock showroom for a no-obligation evaluation, or mail it to us with insured shipping. We will provide a written estimate before any work begins.

How long do repairs take?

Most repairs are completed within 7-14 business days. Resizing and simple polishing can often be turned around in 3-5 days. Complex restorations may take longer; we will always provide a clear timeline up front.

03

Custom Design

Forty years of bench experience, ready for your most meaningful piece.

How does the custom design process work?

It begins with a conversation. We meet with you in the showroom (or by video) to understand the story behind the piece, sketch concepts together, and select stones. You will approve a detailed CAD rendering before our jewelers begin hand-fabricating the design in Roaring Springs.

How long does a custom piece take to make?

From first sketch to finished piece, expect 6-10 weeks. Engagement rings and intricate designs may take slightly longer. We will share progress photos along the way.

Can you redesign jewelry I already own?

Yes - this is one of our favorite things to do. We will help you reimagine inherited or sentimental pieces, reusing your stones and metal whenever possible to create something that honors the original while feeling entirely new.

Do you provide diamond and gemstone sourcing?

We source ethically through trusted partners and can present GIA-certified diamonds and colored stones in any shape, size, or budget. Every center stone comes with full documentation.

04

Jewelry Care

Simple habits that keep fine jewelry looking remarkable for generations.

How should I clean my jewelry at home?

For most pieces, a soft toothbrush, warm water, and a drop of mild dish soap work beautifully. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ultrasonic devices on softer stones such as opal, pearl, emerald, and turquoise.

How often should I have my jewelry professionally cleaned?

We recommend a professional cleaning and prong inspection every six months. Pieces bought from us are cleaned and inspected free of charge - simply drop in any time.

Can I wear my jewelry in the shower or pool?

We advise against it. Chlorine, salt water, and certain soaps can dull metals and loosen settings over time. Lotions, perfumes, and hairspray should always be applied before putting jewelry on.

How should I store my jewelry?

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching. Keep silver in anti-tarnish bags. For long-term storage, a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight is ideal.

05

Rings & Sizing

Getting the fit right - especially for the surprise of a lifetime.

How do I find my ring size?

The most accurate way is to visit our showroom for a complimentary sizing. If that is not possible, we will mail you a printable sizer, or you can bring a ring you already wear comfortably for us to measure.

What if I am buying a surprise engagement ring?

This is our specialty. We will help you discreetly determine her size and style preferences, and every Thacker engagement ring includes one complimentary resize within the first year - just in case.

Can all rings be resized?

Most rings can be resized up or down by one to two sizes without issue. Eternity bands, tension settings, and certain inlay designs have limitations. Our bench jewelers will give you an honest assessment before any work begins.

06
