5 out of 5 starsTotally exceeds my expectations. I was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. The picture of the item is very good but in real life - it's amazing. The ring was special made with an onyx stone for an all black look I wanted. Dealing with InMyLifebyBlazerArts was also great. The ring was safely packaged and arrive to Canada quite quick. Will def purchase from them again.

Begin Your Journey with Us
I knew there was something special about Deb from the moment we first met. It sounds like a cliche; I know, but for anyone who has felt this you know what I am talking about. We just clicked--two kindred spirits who just happened to choose the same co-ed dormitory at Penn State University. What began as a close friendship quickly became something more. Before long, it became clear to me that she was the woman that I would partner with for the rest of my days. In 2001, we graduated from college, purchased our first home, and got married.
From there our professional paths divided, but we have always been constant collaborators in all that we do. Deb spent the next several years working as a bench jeweler in various jewelry stores while I returned to school to become an English professor. After our first son was born, we all began doing art shows together, and Blazer Arts was officially born. In 2008, Deb opened her first shop on Etsy, and our lives were changed forever. Now we have seven shops in total: Happily Ever After debblazer.etsy.com, the Revolution revolutionba.etsy.com, In My Life inmylifebyblazerarts.etsy.com, Sprouts sproutsbyblazerarts.etsy.com, Blazer Studios blazerstudios.etsy.com, Supply In Demand supplyindemand.etsy.com, and our first shop Blazer Arts blazerarts.etsy.com.

Shop policies
Delivery projections provided by Etsy are automated and don't take our willingness to move an order ahead in our production schedule into account. If you'd like your item quickly, please provide a specific date, and we will do our utmost to accommodate. Shipping upgrades are available during checkout.
We believe that an engagement ring should be special in every way down to the smallest detail. We take that to heart when hand making each individual piece before we send it out to its new home. Quality craftsmanship shouldn't have to cost a fortune!
***Frequently Asked Questions***
--Do you use recycled materials and non-conflict stones?
Of course! We use recycled materials whenever possible. We even recycle our own silver and gold by melting it down in our studio. All of our stones are conflict free and purchased from a reputable source that is SCS Certified.
--How long until I receive my order?
We try to ship our items as quickly as possible; however, each and every ring is custom made to size. Our turnaround time ranges from two to four weeks. If you need your item by a certain date, please just let us know and we will do our utmost to accommodate your request.
--Do you resize?
Yes. We understand how difficult it is to determine the fit of a band over the internet. Rings often fit differently depending on their dimensions. For example, a wide band may require up to a size larger than a thinner band in order to fit comfortably, and comfort fit bands can fit more loosely due to their beveled interiors. Because of these variables, we offer one free resize and only ask that you cover the shipping fees. Our clients may take advantage of this complimentary resizing anytime within one year of receiving their ring as we understand that some may purchase their band well in advance of wearing it daily. Pricing for any additional resizing will be determined on a case by case basis. Rest assured that we charge less for this service than most jewelry stores.
--Do you hallmark your rings with a quality mark and maker's mark?
Yes, we do when it won't damage the integrity of the ring. According to Federal Law, if you quality mark any piece of jewelry you must also add your maker's mark. But there is no requirement to add any mark at all. We do quality mark (.925, 14K, 18K, etc.) and add our maker's mark (BA) on most of our items. However some pieces are either too thin or are too intricately detailed on the outside to mark without harming the piece.
--Will there be a solder joint on my ring?
Yes. All of our rings are custom made to size. We do our best to disguise the joint and even go so far as to go back in with our saws and burs to re-cut any design. Please remember that this does not jeopardize the integrity of the ring. If you were to take your ring to a jewelry store to be sized, they would create solder joints in order to size it.
--Will my sterling silver ring tarnish?
It may. It all depends on how often you wear your ring. Silver tends to tarnish when sitting in the air for a prolonged time. Tarnish is actually oxidation, a reaction on the surface of the silver with the air around it. If you keep your silver pieces in a sealed plastic bag or wear them regularly (so the contact with your skin "polishes" off any oxidation) they should not tarnish as readily. If your silver does tarnish, you can pick up a bottle of Tarn-X at a local grocery store and that will do the trick.
We also use a new exclusive product, Sterlium Plus,™ for many of our rings. It has become the standard for tarnish resistant Silver. It out performs all other formulated anti-tarnish silver alloys such as Argentium Silver. Sterlium Plus™ is a sterling silver alloy that is tarnish resistant and maintains a bright white color. This product is made in the USA and we have been very pleased with it's performance.
--If I order an oxidized ring, will the black wear off?
Yes. It is a surface treatment and will wear, but it only adds to the character of your custom piece. We treat all of our flat black pieces with museum micro wax to help maintain the black finish. But any oxidized and brushed pieces are left natural.

Shipping
Every item in our shop is handmade upon its purchase. Our production time can range from a few days to four weeks. This time frame has more to do with keeping up with our volume of orders than the amount of time it takes to create an individual piece. We are a very small, family run company with only four bench jewelers.
We are happy to move an order ahead in our production schedule by request and for no additional charge. The estimated dates provided by Etsy and automated and do not take into account our willingness to do this.

Our standard form of shipment for orders with a value less than $400 USD is called Global Postal Shipping. This form of delivery is processed through a partnership between the United States Post Office, your local post office, a company named Asendia, and an assortment of other delivery partners. Under ideal circumstances, this form of delivery will take 2 to 3 weeks, but it can take longer. We are unable to predict whether your shipment will experience a delay.
You may upgrade your shipping during checkout to USPS Priority Mail International. This form of shipment will be delivered in partnership with your local post in approximately 6 to 10 business days. Delays may occur.
We can also offer UPS shipping by request. UPS rarely experiences delays. UPS Worldwide Expedited shipping will deliver much quicker–typically 1 to 2 weeks if not sooner, depending upon your location. If interested, please just let us know, and we can offer you a quote for this service. We will need to know your full address, and we would need to create a custom listing for your purchase.

Our standard form of shipment to the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 for orders with a value of $400 USD or more is UPS Worldwide Expedited. This form of delivery will take approximately 1 week. UPS likes to have a phone number on record for international deliveries. They may need to contact you prior to delivery to collect a customs or import fee. Please share your phone number in the note to seller box provided during checkout.
Our standard form of shipment to all other countries for orders with a value of $400 USD or more is USPS Priority Mail International. This form of shipment will deliver in partnership with your local post in approximately 6 to 10 business days. Delays may occur. Please understand these are outside of our control.

Depending upon where you live and the value of your purchase, Etsy may collect some form of tax to remit directly to your local government during checkout, but these funds do not flow through our accounts, nor do we have any control over the rates imposed. You may still be required to remit an import fee prior to delivery. Please consult your local post for specific details, as every country handles their customs fees and procedures differently. It is against the law for us to pay these fees for you or to mark your order as a gift to avoid paying them.
If your parcel arrives in your country, and you do not remit the import fees etc, your local post will eventually return your order to us. This will void our delivery guarantee, and your refund will not be issued in the event that it is lost in the mail on its way back to us. Should you decide you no longer want your order, please discuss the matter with your local post to make more reliable plans for a return.
Additional policies and FAQs
You may return your item for a full refund (minus shipping costs) prior to 45 days after receipt of item. All of our creations are 100% satisfaction guaranteed! We do not give refunds after 45 days; however, exchanges and credit can be issued.
Please note that all of our items are handmade upon their purchase. Exact dimensions may vary slightly.
Custom items are nonrefundable. A custom item is a unique design that is not already offered on our shop site. Specific sizes are not considered custom.
Our rhodium plating add on service for silver rings is also nonrefundable, but we will honor a refund for the ring itself.
Items will be deemed as nonreturnable if altered in any way by another jeweler. This will also void our complimentary resizing service.

We completely understand that sometimes a ring doesn't fit the way you expect it to. This is often due to the thickness or width of the particular ring. Resizing is sometimes necessary. We are more than happy to oblige and only ask that you cover the shipping costs. Pricing for any additional resizing or resizing after a year has passed will be determined on a case by case basis. Rest assured that we charge less for this service than most jewelry stores.
