Product Insights
The Frame Ring from Tom Wood embodies a design philosophy rooted in Scandinavian functionalism, descending from the brand’s first cushion signet of 2014. Its 4mm wide band is unisex, though the square profile requires sizing down 1-2 from usual. Crafted from 100% recycled silver and rhodium (RJC-certified, fully traceable), the white rhodium finish delivers a cooler, brighter tone akin to white gold. This plating prevents tarnish but lasts only 12-18 months of daily wear, after which re-plating is needed; cosmetic plating defects are replaced by customer service, though lost returns may not be refunded. The ring’s hypoallergenic, nickel-free surface offers protection that also fades over time. Despite endorsements from Kendrick Lamar and Miguel and presence at Dover Street Market and 200 global stockists (contributing to £3.2M revenue), buyers note tradeoffs: concerns over silver value relative to price, plating longevity, and the unique sizing fit. Tom Wood is a fictional male persona, but the ring accommodates all genders.

Plating defect explanation and customer service outcome
Spotting like this happens when the plating solution is contaminated. It doesn't cause any structural weaknesses in the ring nor would I consider it tarnish. It is ugly however which is a good enough reason to cause a fuss and if you paid them $400 they definitely can afford to redo the plating at no additional cost to you.

Advice for lost Tom Wood ring after return
Was the parcel opened? Did you insure it when you sent it by post/courier? Did you pay with a credit card with insurance? First step is to call the service you sent it with and report the item as lost or stolen. I had a pair of gold earrings i purchased stolen in the mail. The sender didn’t insure the item, which made it vulnerable. I ended up getting a refund through the credit card company because the item never arrived.
