Ring Resizing
We can re-size most rings whether they are both in our shop or
were simply an gift.
Ring resizing is a process in which a ring (of whichever metal
or material) is manipulated to fit a larger or a smaller finger. Sounds complicated? Actually, it’s not at all. In fact, once you know what size you
need the ring to be, the process is fairly simple!
Ring Downsizing
Resizing a ring down (making the ring shank smaller) is an easy
process compared to resizing up. The jeweler will take a small portion of the
band out and join the pieces back together. The circular shape is restored,
then is soldered back together again.
Ring Upsizing
Upsizing a ring is more intricate and the method varies
depending by how much larger you want your ring to be.
If you want a ring resized by half a size, then stretching the
band is often the best option. Depending on the materials and design,
stretching the band may allow the ring to be resized no more than half a size.
If the ring needs to be resized by more than half a size then it
will need to be cut. A jeweler will cut the band on the ring’s shank and add a
bridge of whichever metal the ring is made up of to make the difference. Then
the jeweler will set the ring back in place through soldering
