The Benchmark Lifetime Guarantee ensures that your Benchmark ring is covered from any manufacturing defects. Benchmark’s rings are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A and have been for over 40 years. Manufacturing defects can occur (although rarely) within metals/materials and or stones. If your ring is registered and you have any issues related to manufacturing, Benchmark will repair or replace your ring free of charge. If your registered ring ever needs to be resized, refinished and or repaired (due to normal wear) there may be service fees assessed depending on the service type requested. This will be determined by your retailer at the time of your ring's assessment.
Shipping/service charges are the consumer’s/retailer’s responsibility.
Benchmark reserves the right to modify this policy at any time without notice, and/or refuse any registration.
If you do happen to receive a ring that experiences damage due to manufacturing, please contact our customer service team so we can get it taken care of as soon as possible. We will have you send your ring in to be evaluated and assessed for damages. Should a warrantied issue be present, Benchmark will repair or replace the item free of charge. If the damages to the item are not covered under the Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty, a customer service representative will contact you with an estimated cost to repair the damages and for approval to continue with the repairs. If the customer chooses not to have the item repaired, it will be shipped back to the customer in the same condition it was received.
