Also consider the circumstances under which your ring was first fitted. Something obvious, like pregnancy, would cause your ring to fit more snugly. But the culprit could also be something more unexpected and seemingly trivial, like a high-salt meal right before your sizing.
Maybe you're just really sensitive to temperature fluctuations. If your ring size seems to go up and down with the mercury, a temporary ring adjuster is perfect. Whether you need an interim solution until you reach your goal weight, or you need something you can take in and out indefinitely in accordance with the weather, read on to learn how to make a ring smaller without resizing.
When you think of taking your ring to us to be resized smaller, you likely think of a permanent reduction in the circumference of the band. That's not the only option, though. Since every resizing negatively affects the strength of the metal, it's wise to consider adding to the ring instead, which maintains the integrity of the ring. To make your ring smaller using sizing beads, our jeweler simply adds two small metal balls on the back part of the inside of your ring.
Sizing beads are an economical way to reduce the size of your ring. They're perfect for reducing a ring by one half-size and they're great for keeping your ring upright on your finger. Some people love the way this method can alieve the problem of a too-large knuckle. Some wearers find them uncomfortable, which is the biggest downside. Ask to see our sizers with sizing beads for you to try on. A spring insert is another easy way for a jeweler to resize your ring smaller, up to one full ring size.
With for example yellow gold wedding bands with no gems, they merely need to be polished after sizing and they are ready to wear. White gold on the other hand needs to be rhodium plated See my post on rhodium plating after the sizing is done. White gold started its life as a yellowy, orangy metal and needed white metal alloys to create the white gold color. It's not quite truly a white metal.
The final process of making new white gold jewelry is to rhodium plate the piece of jewelry. This gives your ring a very white and shiny finish. It has also been known to shield people from the irritation some people feel from the nickel in the alloy of white gold.
The extra cost in repairing white gold rings comes from the rhodium plating done after the sizing work. It is necessary, and it's a step that any fine jeweler includes when sizing or repairing your white gold jewelry. Platinum's Purity Adds to its Cost. This means that the metal costs are higher for platinum work. Platinum is a completely different metal than gold. Gold is actually an easier metal to work with than platinum. Among other things required for working platinum is a tank of different, hotter burning gas, used for soldering.
Then there are separate tools that can not be shared with any other metals. Just like tomatoes, which prefer to grow in soil they've already grown in, platinum will discolor if you dare to use tools on it that have been used to work gold.
This means your jeweler must be versed in the quirky requirements of platinum and have the separate tools and separate gas and a separate work space to care properly for your platinum ring. Some jewelers do platinum jewelry repairs using 14kt white gold. This saves them money. If you get a low bid on your platinum work, before you say, 'sure, let's save some money here,' and use ABC Quickie Jewelry Repairs, ask if the repair work is being done with platinum. There's a good chance it is not.
This pricing is taking into account just sizing, polishing, and rhodium plating for a fairly thin ring with no other issues. In case you've had irritation from your white gold ring, read about nickel allergies. This ring came to me a size 7 and had to be sized down to a size 4. That is a huge size difference. This sizing can effect the angle of the design, where the diamonds are set and worse case scenario can cause visible crimping where the metal has to bend inward. Often diamonds in the area that will be effected are removed and then re-set after the work has been done.
This ring needed to be sized from a size 6 to a 7. The gems were set in the more challenging channel style. This ring is gorgeous, but not a simple slam dunk sizing. It needed time and care in the work. The gems are at risk of damage when this work is done. Specifically the square cut diamonds in their channel are at risk for cracking when the overall shape is changed even slightly. Opening the ring to the size needed is done slowly, checking the diamonds in the channel for movement or signs of stress.
This wedding band needed to go 1. This wonderful ring was about a quarter of an inch wide. Select a category.
