Overview

Ross-Simons was founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1952 and positions itself around attainable fine jewelry, variety and detailed product information. Its catalog covers gold, silver, diamonds, colored gemstones and fashion jewelry in addition to pearls.

Pearl selection

Pearls are a meaningful part of the catalog, including cultured freshwater and Akoya jewelry plus other pearl types and shapes. The retailer publishes buying guides covering luster, size, shape, color, care and specific families such as Akoya, Tahitian, South Sea, mabé and keshi pearls.

What to check before buying from Ross-Simons

Request the exact pearl type, measured diameter, treatment disclosure, photographs, metal and setting details for your chosen item. A retailer's letter grade or brand history alone cannot establish the quality of that piece.

For return eligibility, check whether the deadline runs from purchase, shipment or delivery; whether authorization or arrival is required; and whether customization, wear, shipping costs or final-sale terms affect the order.
