    What do I do if my child lost their high school class ring?

    A Balfour high school ring is so precious that it is automatically protected against loss or theft. If a high school ring is lost or stolen, Balfour will replace the ring. This protection is in effect for four years from the date of purchase on all original rings purchased after July 1, 1998, and is limited to a single replacement of your child's original high school ring during the four-year period. This protection plan excludes diamonds, genuine stones and championship rings.

    Can we trade in a high school ring for a college ring?

    In most cases, we will accept a trade-in on a Balfour college ring or gold Balfour high school ring. We also accept trade-ins on other manufacturers' rings. Other manufacturers' rings must be gold (non precious metals are not accepted) and have a 10K, 14K or 18K stamp inside the ring. Balfour will determine the trade-in value once the ring is received. A credit for an eligible trade-in ring will be granted if the trade-in accompanies the order to which the credit will apply. Therefore, trade-in credits are not available with online orders.

    What is Balfour's Ring Warranty?

    We took every effort to ensure that only the finest craftsmanship and quality went into your child's ring. It underwent scores of precise, individual inspections throughout the entire finishing process. Balfour Military, therefore, guarantees your child's ring to be free from defects in workmanship or materials, and any such defects discovered upon delivery will be remedied at no charge.

    Where do I send in a ring for repairs?

    Please send the ring to the address below. Include your child's name, or original order number (if available), instructions as to the type of repair you want done, a return address and a daytime phone number so we can contact you to approve any charges. We recommend that you send the ring using a traceable method like USPS, UPS or FedEx.

    Many times, repairs can be done on a ring; however, some requests may require that your child's ring be remade. If your child's ring is very sentimental to you and you do not want it remade, an explicit note directing that the ring not be remade must be included with the ring. A remake fee will apply to any order that must be remade. To learn more about these fees please call 1-800-521-9493.
