Did you notice we never put the size of a ring on our website? Because almost all our rings can be resized to fit you at no extra cost! Sizing typically takes only a day or two.
Your ring should fit snugly but comfortably. It should slide on easily, but you should have to pull a little to get it off.
For a #ring to be #sized, it needs to be made of #silver, #gold, or #platinum and there also needs to be enough room on the ring for the work to be done. So if the band is plain without any engravings or filigree, there won't be a problem. To make a ring smaller, the jeweler will cut out a piece of the band, form it back into a perfect circle and then solder it back together. Once finished, there will be no evidence the ring was ever cut.
Making a ring larger is more complicated than making it smaller, because the goldsmith will be stretching out the metal or cut the band and add in an extra piece of metal.
