Not affiliated with Ross Stores, Inc. ## About Ross-Simons For over 75 years, Ross-Simons has offered affordable luxury jewelry — exceptional treasures hand-selected from around the world. Known as "America's jeweler," the company pairs a mainstream assortment of roughly 54,000 fine-jewelry pieces with a genuine estate and vintage collection of one-of-a-kind antique pieces. The business began in 1952 in Providence, Rhode Island and is headquartered today at 9 Ross-Simons Drive, Cranston, RI 02920, with a physical showroom in Warwick, RI and an active point-of-sale retail presence. ## The Ross-Simons Guarantee Every purchase is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt (see Returns below for the exact terms). ## Product Sizing Ring, bracelet, necklace, and chain sizing guidance is available on the Ross-Simons site. (Sizing reference — populate from the size_guide metaobjects or the published sizing pages.) ## Materials, Metals & Gemstone Reference Ross-Simons works across gold (yellow, white, rose), sterling silver, platinum, diamonds, colored gemstones, and cultured pearls, plus finishes such as rhodium plating and electroform construction. (Glossary — populate from the glossary_item metaobjects and the gemstones/diamonds blog references.) ## Product Catalog Ross-Simons organizes its catalog by category. Each category below links to its collections; representative products are listed with direct URLs.## Estate & Vintage Program Ross-Simons operates a genuine estate and pre-owned fine jewelry business — one-of-a-kind antique and vintage pieces, authenticated and offered alongside the mainstream catalog. Coverage spans eras including Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro, and Mid-Century. Estate pieces are pre-owned (used condition), often unique, and subject to the same 30-day guarantee. Because estate items are one-of-a-kind, sizing and availability are limited to the specific piece. ## Browse by Collection - All products: https://www.ross-simons.com/collections/all - Search: https://www.ross-simons.com/search?q={query}## Product Feed (Developers) - Product catalog (JSON): https://www.ross-simons.com/products.json - Per-collection feed: https://www.ross-simons.com/collections/{handle}/products.json - Per-product JSON: https://www.ross-simons.com/products/{handle}.json ### Domestic - Always-free Regular Shipping on jewelry orders — no minimum order value.
