Common Ring Resizing Questions:
Multiple Factors go into the sizing of a ring, one of the most important is the design. Some designs are fairly common and can go up or down 3 sizes easily, while other more intricate designs will limit the amount it can be re-sized, if it can at all.
Some examples of the different kind of designs include: rings with stones, rings with no stones, patterned shanks, mixed metals, and more. Our approach accommodates multiple designs and we follow a meticulous process in doing so, from mixed metals to patterned shanks. If you would like more information on your ring's specific design and the effect it can have on ring resizing, we provide additional details here.
Ring resizing is achieved by either adding or removing metal to obtain the desired size, and we avoid metal contamination by matching the new metal. If the design requires removing and then resetting stones, we are careful to prepare for that as well and communicate that to you.
After the metal is either added or removed, we restore the circular shape, solder it together, then professionally clean and polish the ring. We use Induction Welders or Laser Welders when soldering the shank together, depending on the metal of the ring. Our Master Jewelers can size gold, sterling, silver, bronze, palladium, platinum, and brass rings. When the job is complete, there should be no indication or visible details that the ring has been resized.

Ring Resizing is Routine, To Master Jewelers
Ring resizing may seem like a routine procedure, but if the process is done wrong it can put undue stress on stones or settings. Be sure that you have a qualified jeweler that won't manipulate the ring’s materials beyond their threshold of tolerance.Our experienced jewelers read the materials and check for metal fatigue or weakened areas of the ring. Likewise, we’ll assess stones and prongs, taking care to verify their ability to withstand pressure relevant to the ring resizing process.
