Resize Rings

A ring that is too large could slip off your finger and be lost. By contrast, a ring that is too small could get stuck on your finger, or you might have to avoid wearing it because of how uncomfortable it is. Most often though, you can get a ring resized and the cost will depend on the metal and the work that needs to be done. The cost varies to resize a ring by a jeweler, the cost depends on:

How much bigger or smaller it needs to be.

What metal it is made of

How much metal needs to be manipulated

How the stones and design elements of the ring will affect the new shape

Sizing a Ring Down vs. Up

Making a ring smaller will almost always cost less than making it larger because there are no costs for added materials.
To make a ring smaller, jewelers typically:

Cut the band in the back.

Remove the necessary amount of metal.

Solder the two pieces back together.

To make a ring size larger, jewelers can either:

Stretch the metal (which many do not recommend in any situation).

Cut the band and create a bridge of additional metal to re-join the pieces.

The amount of extra material needed directly affects the overall price.

Ring Resizing Process

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. Soldering is a common process in metalwork where the joints of two separate pieces of metal are fused together in a thin layer, uniting the metal. After the ring is soldered, it’s then cleaned and polished to remove antioxidants that may result from soldering and to smooth its surface. After resizing, most rings look as good as new, due to our expert jewelers giving them the polishing and cleaning they need!
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 or by using a laser depending on the metal and whether there is a precious or semi-precious stone set in the jewelry. The ring’s circular shape is then restored, cleaned, and polished ready for the owner to wear their ring with pride.
