Our verdict
A California company selling simulated-diamond rings in sterling silver and tungsten, with a phone line, free shipping and a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects — but you pay return postage, repairs for wear and resizing cost a fee, and its pages describe the warranty three different ways.
Visit Modern GentsThe bottom line. Modern Gents is run by Good Vibes Trading Co., Inc. of Costa Mesa, California4, on a domain registered in 20175, and you can reach it by phone, text or email6. Its rings use simulated diamonds — man-made stones, labeled as simulated on its product pages2,7 — in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver or silver plated with 18k gold2; men’s bands are mostly tungsten carbide or titanium2. Shipping is free on every order1, new or unworn pieces can be returned within 30 days2, and checkout runs on Shopify with cards, PayPal and four installment plans1,2,8. It doesn’t score higher because you pay the return postage2; the lifetime warranty is free only for manufacturing defects, while wear, accidents and resizing cost ‘a small service fee’ it doesn’t state3, although its FAQ says the warranty covers ‘any and all damages’2; shipping insurance isn’t mentioned1,2,9,10; and Trustpilot shows 4 stars, not the 5.0 its own review app displays11,12.

Returns & exchanges
New or unworn pieces can be sent back for a refund within 30 days of delivery, and the parcel must be postmarked inside that window2. Items marked ‘FINAL SALE’ can’t be refunded2; Modern Gents doesn’t customize or engrave anything, so there are no made-to-order exclusions2. There’s no return label: you pay to send the piece back2. Refunds go to the original card — 2–4 business days to process, then about 3–5 for your bank, or up to two weeks with Shop Pay2.
Exchanges for another size or style use the same 30 days, which don’t restart after an exchange, and Modern Gents pays to ship the replacement to you2. If a return takes your order below the minimum for a free gift, part of the refund may be withheld2.
Pieces returned ‘not in new condition’ may lose 20% to a restocking fee2,10. We didn’t count that against the refund score: unworn pieces get a full refund, and a store that refuses worn pieces outright would score no better.

Shipping & delivery
Shipping is free on every order1: the free option takes 4–6 business days in the US, and there are standard, rush and express options if you need it sooner9. Orders leave within 1 business day, and rush or express orders placed before noon Pacific time ship the same day, Monday to Saturday9; delivery times are estimates, not guarantees9. Modern Gents ships to the US, including territories and military addresses, and to Canada2.
We found no mention of shipping insurance or a signature1,2,9,10. If a parcel shows as delivered but never arrives, you have 72 hours to tell Modern Gents, which then investigates; the FAQ doesn’t promise a refund or a replacement2. If tracking stops updating, contact support after 5 business days2.

Warranty & care
Every piece has a lifetime warranty, and the warranty-claims page says manufacturing defects are fixed ‘at no cost to you’3. Anything else — wear, accidental damage, resizing — is handled under the same warranty ‘for a small service fee’, which the page doesn’t put a number on3. Fading from pools, hot tubs or chemicals, pieces that are bent, caught or worn, and stones that fall out because of wear don’t count as defects3; loss and theft aren’t covered3, and work by another jeweler, including engraving, voids the warranty on that piece2,3. To claim, you email photos and your order details, and the team inspects the piece before deciding3. We found no free cleaning, polishing or re-plating2,3,19,20.
The FAQ says the lifetime warranty covers ‘any and all damages’, including accidents, wear and resizing2; product pages say it covers ‘fading, missing stones and other manufacturer defects’7; the warranty-claims page says only manufacturing defects are free, and lists fading from chemicals and stones lost through wear as not covered3. We score the version that’s worse for the buyer, the warranty-claims page. Ask what the fee will be before you send a piece in.

What Modern Gents sells & what it costs
The stones are simulated diamonds — man-made stones made to look like diamonds — which Modern Gents says rank 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale2; it doesn’t say what they’re made of2,7,12,14. Product pages label them plainly, ‘Stones: Simulated Diamonds’7, and colored center stones as ‘Simulated Emerald’ or ‘Simulated Pink Sapphire’13. Carat sizes are estimates, because simulated stones don’t weigh the same as diamonds2. Its silver jewelry is 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated, and its gold and rose-gold pieces are the same silver plated with 18k gold2; we found no plating thickness2,7,15. Men’s bands are mostly tungsten carbide or titanium, with some carbon fiber and Damascus steel2. Modern Gents says its pieces contain no nickel and won’t turn your skin green2, and rings come in sizes 3.5 to 171.
It advertises engagement rings under $150 and wedding sets under $2001. In our sample of 39 of its 456 product pages, most rings cost $130 to $195, men’s tungsten bands $80, necklaces and bracelets $45 to $60 and stud earrings $70, with ring boxes and charms from $10 to $2521. It calls its stones and metals ‘conflict-free’1, but publishes no sourcing policy for its metals1,2,12,14.

What customers say
Trustpilot shows Modern Gents at 4 stars from 564 reviews11 — lower than the 5.0 from about 67,000 reviews on Okendo, the review app on its own site12, which we don’t score because the store collects those reviews itself. Its Facebook page shows 94% of 1,581 reviewers recommending it22. It has a BBB profile in Costa Mesa and isn’t BBB accredited; we’re still checking its rating23. One BBB review says two letter charms arrived in a different font from the one ordered23.
On Reddit, budget buyers recommend it for the price and the lifetime warranty24, and one says their ring has held up amazingly after two years of daily wear25; a critical comment says a ring was extremely light and felt like plastic, and calls Modern Gents ‘extremely overpriced’26, and a comment in a Facebook group says the rings ‘tarnish easily and look fake’27. On a WeddingWire forum, a shopper notes great recent reviews but ‘no long term customer reviews’28.
