Everything You Need To Know About Ring Resizing

September 28, 2017

Maybe you found a perfect ring or got a present from your significant other which isn’t your size. Perhaps you lost (or gained) some weight. Or you just want to wear your ring on another finger. Whatever the reason for having a ring resizing done in San Diego, there’s no need to be nervous about it. It is a fairly common procedure. There are just a few facts you’d probably like to know before going to the jewelers.

When it’s time for ring resizing?

First, you should be certain that you need to resize a ring. A ring that doesn’t need resizing is snug enough so that it doesn’t fall off but is loose enough to slide over your knuckle. It also slides onto your finger fairly easily but is a bit harder to get off, slightly brushing your finger while you remove it.

If your ring is too small so that it’s uncomfortable to wear, or it can slip off with no resistance at all, you should get it resized. Wearing too big a ring means risking damaging or even losing the piece.

The perfect fit

When it comes to rings, you should know that there is no such thing as a perfect fit. There will be days when your ring is a little loose as well as the days when it is a bit tight. Our fingers change size depending on the weather, time of day, hormone fluctuations, our eating habits, and other factors.

Seek out professional ring resizing in San Diego and get that almost perfect fit with the help of a knowledgeable jeweler. They will make sure you feel the most comfortable while wearing your ring.

Did you know?

A jeweler can also add two “sizing balls” or beads to the inside of your ring’s shank. These slightly raised small bumps serve to keep the ring from spinning on your finger, while accommodating those daily fluctuations in finger size. The balls are made from the same kind of gold as your ring and can be removed at any time.

What makes a ring resizable?

For a ring to be resized, it needs to be made of a metal like silver, gold, or platinum. A ring can sometimes be modified by only two sizes, meaning it could either be resized up to two sizes larger or smaller than the original size. There should also be enough room on the ring for the actual work to be done.

The best candidates for resizing are plain bands, which are made of metal with no settings. However, some stone-less bands may have carved patterns. In this case, many jewelers will not resize the ring so as not to distort the pattern or design. A highly skilled jeweler might be able to resize your ring up to one size difference without visible signs of alteration.

When is it complicated to resize?

Some rings cannot be resized due to their design features, such as rings with lots of gemstones intricately set in the band. Sizing channel-set and pave-style rings up or down by more than half a size will depend on the style and design of the ring. It’s almost always easier to size a ring up than down. Eternity bands with stones set all around the ring are difficult and expensive to resize and may not yield a desired aesthetic outcome.

Due to these potential issues, be sure to ask if a ring is resizable and know your sizing options before you make the purchase.
