When Do I Need to Resize My Ring?
Your wedding and engagement ring should fit securely on your finger while still being comfortable to wear. But, over time and even reacting to temperature, finger size can change. Not every fit issue requires reaching out to a jeweler to alter your ring size.
For instance when your ring size is slightly off, accessories like a ring guards give a snug fit without altering the band. If you need adjustments to your ring at least a half size up or down, that’s the time to meet with experts like your local KAY repair professionals. Make sure to only work with reputable jewelers with transparent information on their repair process, care, and practices so you get the results you want.
Common Signs a Ring Is the Wrong Size
Slipping and Sliding
Notice your ring moves around a lot? If small gestures and movements send your ring flying, your ring size may be too big.
Swollen Ring Finger
For rings you wear daily, like engagement and wedding rings, a swollen ring finger can be an indicator your ring size is too small.
Difficult To take Off
Your perfect ring size should not be too tight or too loose. If you really have to work to put on and take off your ring, it’s a sign you may need to resize.
Need To Resize a Ring? Ask a Professional Jeweler.
At KAY, we put the utmost care into resizing your ring. We do our best to give you the perfect fit, but there are a few limitations in our resizing process. To protect the integrity of the jewelry we only resize two sizes up or two sizes down. Material and the design of your ring may impact whether it can be resized. We recommend consulting with our jewelers, so you know what resizing is possible for your ring.
How Jewelers make A Ring Smaller
Time to go a size down? A jeweler can your ring smaller by cutting away excess material from the band of the ring. Professionals are careful to heat the band until it’s just hot enough to cut, without distorting the shape of the ring. After cutting, your ring is soldered back together, cleaned, polished, and ready to wear again.
How Jewelers make A Ring Larger
Can you size up a ring? It takes some extra work, but it is possible. Rings designed with “cut-out” material are easier to size up. A jeweler can simply shave away this excess material inside the band of the ring. Depending on the material and design, some rings can be heated up and stretched. In some cases, a jeweler may need cut into the band and add more material to get to the desired size.
How long does it take to resize a ring?
How long it takes to resize your ring depends on a band’s design, material, and scale of the resize. A prompt ring resizing can take anywhere between one to two weeks. We recommend making an appointment with a KAY repair professional for the most accurate estimate on your ring’s resizing time.
