Don't Sell Them Your Jewelry!!!!!!
I have bought several items from Ross Simons, and I have been pleased with all of them. Several months ago, I sold two diamond rings to them. The items were worth approximately $7,000, and they bought them for $1550.00. Although I felt the amount they gave me was not enough, I accepted it.
Recently, I was browsing the Ross Simons website, and found the two rings I sold them. They had the rings for sale for $7,990.00 ($6,440 more than they paid me). I was totally shocked, even though I know that jewelry has a high markup, this was totally taking advantage of a dedicated customer.
I will never purchase from them again. I probably would have made more money selling the items to a pawn shop/gold buyer. Their ad said that they provide "top dollar." Obviously that did not happen to me.

I am extremely frustrated with this…
I am extremely frustrated with this company. I have asked them multiple times, over the course of several months, nearly a year, to stop sending me their catalogs, yet they continue to send them.
I have contacted customer service repeatedly and each time I was led to believe my request had been processed. Unfortunately, nothing has changed, and I continue to receive unwanted catalogs.
At this point, it feels like my requests are simply being ignored. Respecting a customer’s decision to opt out of marketing mail should not be this difficult. I hope this review encourages the company to improve how it handles these requests and to respect customers’ preferences.
Reply from Ross Simons2026-07-27
We understand your concerns and agree that opt-out requests should be handled promptly and accurately. We regret that this has not been your experience. To investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure the appropriate action is taken, we have reached out to request additional information so that we can review your account and identify why the catalogs have continued to be mailed.

Terrible quality jewelry
I purchased a pink sapphire eternity band which was supposed to be 18kt rose gold over sterling silver. First purchase, ring was not a true circle and was bent. Replacement, same issue. I said whatever, I’ll keep it as I figured the quality would at least intact. Incorrect assumption on my part. My finger started turning green and the band immediately turned to a dirty looking rust color. I would not recommend purchasing from this company if you like spending good money and receiving terrible quality jewelry. I take very good care of my jewelry, and it literally does not make a difference for what they’re selling.
Reply from Ross Simons2026-07-20
We are sorry to learn that you have been disappointed with your pink sapphire eternity band.
Rose gold over sterling silver, as with all gold-over-silver jewelry, can naturally fade, or tarnish over time depending on factors such as wear, exposure to moisture, skin chemistry, cosmetics, lotions, and other environmental conditions. Once the plating begins to wear, the underlying sterling silver may become more visible and can require cleaning or replating to restore its original appearance.
We understand your concerns regarding both the shape of the ring and its appearance after wear. While many customers enjoy gold-over-silver jewelry as an affordable alternative to solid gold, it does require different care and maintenance than solid gold pieces.

My name is Carlos and I just spoke with supervisor Jenny Lee form customer service, reason of my call I wanted to sell a ring a purchase with Ross Simons, took the ring to a jewelry store and I was told the 10k gold hammered ring it’s plated not even 10k gold, told this information to supervisor Jenny Lee she calmly told me they use the minimum quality on gold on the pieces they sell, I have purchased several pieces from them and I was told by the jewelry store the other pieces are plated also and they are not even 10k gold, while I spoke with Jenny Lee supervisor who called me “ Mam” by the way even when I told her my name is Carlos I am a male not a female and I don’t know any female named Carlos, so the resolution from supervisor Jenny Lee in customer service she said I can only return the ring I wanted to sell and the other pieces they cannot do anything about it, also spoke with Jarvis the csr who took my called laugh at my situation and apologized until I was upset about it, there is no professionalism from this place, even when I told supervisor Jenny Lee I know about jewelry because she tried to educate me, gold is gold even it’s 10k 14k 16k 18k 20k 21k 22k or 24k it shouldn’t be plated gold and have it sold as real gold and just put a fake stamp. Great service, great quality and excellent guarantee!!! Great job Ross Simons!!!

Buyer beware. It's over priced garbage jewlery. The earrings I purchased for $180 don't even go into my ears because the post is wider than a ball point pen. I checked the stock photos on their website, and the model isn't actually wearing them; they photo shopped the earrings onto her ears. Ross Simon's doesn't need to respond to this, but I'm sure they will have their usual "regrets" . They also changed my order amount with PayPal. I have never received an email from PayPal letting me know the merchant charged more than what the check out price was. The check out price should be the price. They add on sneaky fees. Will never order from them again. Over $350 on temu quality jewelry.

I truly believe it’s only fair if a necklace sits off-line, and there is clearly a discrepancy on the length of the chain that forces the pendant to sit to the side there is a problem. It’s actually visual! How this necklace left the depot I do not know however you have to know it took me about three weeks to get a replacement and it’s just as bad if not worse!!! The citrine is orange NOT citrine yellow and the necklace STILL sits off-line to the right.
I don’t dare return it after the effort I did just to get the replacement that is still wrong!!! I don’t know that it’s really worth my time to try to return it because I might not get a credit for it. The first time I try this, the necklace got lost at USPS… Which is why I took over three weeks to a month for this to happen. I’m not willing to go through that again and I don’t trust that Ross Simmons will send me a nice necklace. I think they’re gonna show me just whatever they got to appease me… NOT COOL!!

This jewelry store has been my worst experience of buying jewelry. I bought myself a cross necklace, my daughter Jewish star earrings and Jewish start pendant with chain all in sterling silver. Every piece broke or the fasting's opened and lost. Nothing I can do about it but what a waste of money and jewelry. Horrible quality.

I wish they had better policy in EU
My husband made a test purchase of 500$ on the site, but unfortunately the costs almost doubled by the time the items arrived. The website doesn't do proper cost calculation at checkout - this is something many other stores fulfill.
They also didn't have proper shipping contracts and no automatic custom handlings were included so by the time my order arrived it took almost 2 months.
I'm disappointed as I wanted to shop there a lot, but I can't wholeheartely make a purchase if they are so negligent.
Reply from Ross Simons2026-06-15
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. This is certainly not the experience we wish for our customers. Based on our processes, we do calculate and charge applicable duties and tariffs at checkout, and shipments to the EU typically do not take anywhere near two months to arrive or clear customs. From what you’ve described, this outcome is unusual and not something we would expect under normal circumstances. Without the specific order details, we’re unfortunately unable to review what may have caused the additional costs or delay in this case, and we’d really like to look into this further for you. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us directly with your order number so we can investigate and provide a more detailed explanation.

BUYER BEWARE!
BUYER BEWARE!
Purchased a necklace for my mom in 2021. Out of the blue, the necklace came apart. Called the company and they said to send it back for repairs. Then I get a bill for over $100 to fix the necklace. They claim that they stand behind their products, but in reality they only do for the first year. Seriously, how does a necklace just break? My mom has pieces that are much older than this piece and they have not failed. I do not recommend this company or their products due to the quality of the pieces and their commitment to their products after the sale.
Per their response:
In addition, we offer optional extended protection plans for added peace of mind.
This was never an option when I purchased this.

Chain only crimped to clasp, not soldered
I bought a small gold necklace for my daughter for Christmas. She doesn't wear it often, mainly because she wears her gold crucifix, so she was surprised after wearing it maybe 6-8 times that it broke. Upon examination, it didn't really break. But where the chain attached to the clasp it was only crimped in place and not soldered! I was surprised that they would rely on such a cheap method of attachment.
Reply from Ross Simons2026-06-01
Whether a chain jump ring is crimped or soldered often depends on the style of the necklace and price point. You weren’t wrong to expect it to be sturdier—it’s a reasonable expectation. The ring can be re-crimped closed if it just opened up, or, for a more permanent solution, you could have it soldered shut, which will make it much more secure. Without more information on the order, we cannot reach out to assist. For further help, contact us at 800-835-0919 so we may help!

I ordered a gold bracelet and when I opened the package it felt like copper. I have gone to RS for YEARS and this was the worst of the worst. I truly believe it wasn't real gold or diamonds and I will never shop there again.
Reply from Ross Simons2026-03-09
Thank you for reaching out, and we are really sorry to hear about your experience — especially since you’ve been a loyal RS customer for so many years. We do want to clarify one important detail about the piece you ordered: it was advertised as 18K gold‑over‑silver, which means it is a gold-plated piece, not genuine 18K gold. Because it’s a gold plate over sterling silver, the look and weight will be different from genuine gold jewelry. We also want to reassure you that the diamonds on the piece are genuine. There is no synthetic or imitation stone in this piece.

Unreliable jewelery, buyer beware!
I purchased an anniversary band from this company and have had it less than a year. During this year, two of the stones have been lost. They simply fell out, and I was not aware until I took the ring off one night. I won't be purchasing another piece of jewelry from this company.
UPDATE:
I followed the advice from the seller, calling the number that was provided. Nonetheless. I was told that because i had purchased the ring over a year ago, approximately 15 months, there was nothing that they could offer me, ie repair or replace the ring. I simply wanted to wear the ring, and repair was not offered. It is not an expensive piece of jewelry, but I did like the piece when paired with my wedding set. I would have used gorilla glue if I had known where the stones had fallen out.
Moral of the review....personally, I won't purchase any other jewelry from this store/site. I don't like to give a bad review, but the ring was not a well constructed piece.

DO NOT USE
DO NOT use. I purchesed a braclet. When received the clasp was broken, they isssued a return slip. Sent the product back, now they are refusing to fix, repalce or isses a credit. I was told to take it up with the credit card company. So they have my product and are refusing to help in any way.
Reply from Ross Simons2026-02-18
Both orders show as delivered to the address provided. The return package you sent included paperwork only for the original order you had reported as not delivered. The replacement order sent free of charge, along with its packing slip, was not included in the return, so we’re unable to issue a refund or replacement for that item. Since you’re stating that one shipment was not received, your credit card company is best equipped to investigate and refund the charge. For this reason, we recommended working directly with your credit card issuer.

Nice photos of junk jewelry
I have no idea why, 2- years later, I made another order from Ross Simons! As in the past: when I recieved the items they bore no resemblance to online photos. The two bracelets &, especially, te snake ring cannot POSSIBLY be mistaken for real or classy fake. They are overpriced, clearly fake, GARBAGE! Would not wear to put out the trash. This is DEFINITELY the last time I deal with this merchant! Their online & catalogue photos look good. In real life: obviously fake overpriced crap! Can do better on Amazon!

ok-hubby got beautiful 3 Carat Mined diamond bangle tennis bracelet 14KT. less than 3 months after purchase it literally fell apart-a link came apart and thankfully i noticed it on floor. Contacted Ross-Simons-was told OMG we will absolutely take care of this. They sent UPS to pick it up for repair. 3 weeks later repaired bracelet shipped to me-within half hour of wearing it at home-the repaired link fell apart yet again. Contacted them immediately-now being told they never should have acceepted the bracelet and repaired it-i should have filed claim w Extend warranty..??? Extends states i must file claim online and they will review if they will cover this issue and repair it.... i have to wait 2-5 days for them to decide if they will accept this???? Spoke w Jenny,Supervisor Ross Simons-told they never should have repaired it and they cant help-Extend warranty is the party that will decide...almost $3000 for horrible service. This appears to be manufacturers defect-maybe this is why they no longer carry this item. I am concerned another repair will cause same issue and next time i may lose it???

We’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced, especially with such a meaningful and valuable purchase.

My husband purchased 2 rings for me…
My husband purchased 2 rings for me last year for Christmas. One was a "topaz" and "pearl" ring. I noticed yesterday that the pearl was twisting on the post, then came off. I could tell that the pearl is NOT real. The skin that covers fake pearls had peeled away. Not to mention the tell-tale sign of fake pearls, it was smooth, not gritty. I reached out to Ross Simon to request a refund. They said they would not refund because it was past 30 days since purchase. Since my pearl wasn't kind enough to come off within 30 days, my only recourse is to send it back for repair, meaning they will glue the fake pearl back onto the ring. Because I am now concerned about the authenticity of their products (if they'd fake a pearl, why not precious stones!?), I opted to return a "diamond" ring that is a cherished Christmas gift. Unfortunately, I purchased another ring last year, as well, authenticity of stones is now questionable at best. Of course, I cannot return that one either. NOTE: small stones have started to fall out of it.
