Resizing rings
It’s worth noting that a round 40% of rings end up being resized , so as long as you can get a rough estimate by following these basic ring size guidelines, you’ll get a pretty close idea. If you don’t measure the exact correct size the first time, not to worry. We can resize rings within one size up or down of the originally crafted size.
What does it cost to get a ring resized?
If you don’t manage to find the right ring size, we offer a complimentary first re-size for our US & UK customers to make things nice and simple. Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer resize services to customers outside of the US & UK.
Can all rings be resized?
Unfortunately not. If the ring needs to be resized any more than two sizes larger or smaller, there may be a fee that you must pay as your ring may have to be re-made.
Also, some designs are unable to be resized, for example, full eternity rings or twisted bands. In this case, product pages will specify if they are unable to be resized and for bespoke designs, your design consultant will notify you if your design is unable to be resized.
Does resizing a ring weaken it?
In cases where the ring is being resized one size up or down, no.
Resizing is commonplace at our workshop. To resize your ring, we make a small incision in the band and extend or tighten it as required. Once that’s completed, the gap is soldered and polished to seamlessly hide any evidence of alterations.
When a ring needs to be resized any more than two sizes larger or smaller, there may be a fee that you must pay as your ring may have to be re-made to ensure its durability.
