The process of resizing a ring up or down all starts with making an incision within the ring’s band. If a ring needs to be made smaller, after the incision is made, it’s reshaped and soldered back together with a smaller circumference.

If it needs to be made larger, metal is added in between the incisions to expand the band’s size. With either sizing up or down, once the adjustment is complete, the ring is polished and refinished to blend seamlessly.

Most rings can be adjusted by one or two sizes without any issues. Larger changes may require extra work to maintain the ring’s strength.

Some rings, like eternity bands with diamonds all the way around or bands made of tungsten or titanium, can’t be resized traditionally. In those cases, alternative solutions like sizing beads or custom inserts can help achieve a better fit.

Resizing times depend on the ring’s design and materials. Simple adjustments can often be completed within a few days, while more complex work may take longer.

When done correctly, resizing won’t weaken a ring. Our jewelers take every precaution to keep it strong, ensuring the structure remains solid.

That being said, resizing a ring multiple times, or making a big size adjustment can put the structural integrity of the ring at risk. That being said, prior to any resizing project, we will be sure to go over expectations.

Pricing depends on factors like metal type, band width, and design details. Rings with engravings, gemstones, or wider bands may require more work, which can affect the cost.

To get an exact estimate, we recommend bringing your ring in for a free consultation. We’ll assess it and give you a clear price before starting any work.

Some rings, like eternity bands, tungsten rings, and certain modern designs, don’t have enough metal to resize traditionally. In those cases, we’ll explore other options, such as sizing beads or inserts, to help improve the fit.
