The Ups and Downs of Ring Resizing
Some types of metals are more difficult to work with than others. However, thanks to new technology, almost anything is possible. Ring resizing down is relatively simple: the jeweler simply cuts the extra material off the bottom and re-seams (solders) the ring together again. Ring resizing up, or increasing the size of a ring, takes more effort and that’s why it usually costs more. Ways to up-size a ring include:
- Adding metal – You can resize a ring by adding more material (metal) to the band
- Stretching the band – This depends on the band, the metal, and how much larger the ring needs to be.
If you’re shopping for that one-of-a-kind, special ring for him or her, it’s better to buy too big than too small.
