The length of time it will take to get your ring resized definitely depends on the type of ring you have and where you take it to be resized. The ring resizing process can be completed in as little as a few hours, or it can take several weeks or anything in between. It all depends on the metal, the intricacy of the ring, and the jeweler you are working with. But how long will it take to resize your ring in particular? We'd love to help you at Honey, so feel free to contact us any time!
We specialize in custom, whether its dealing with engagement rings or with wedding bands. One of the most important factors in determining how long it will take for a ring to be resized is where you take it for that service.
Generally, a small local jeweler will be able to resize the ring for you much more quickly than a chain jewelry store like Kay or Zales. The primary reason is that a local jeweler will be able to do the resizing on site, while a chain jewelry store or a jewelry store at the mall, for instance will have to ship your ring out to a jeweler to be resized.
Thus, it may take about a week for the ring to be shipped offsite to a jewelry workshop, a few days for the offsite jeweler to do the actual resizing, and another week for your ring to be shipped back to the chain jewelry store.
Depending on the shipping speed, getting your ring resized at a chain jewelry store may take two to three weeks. The local jeweler will have a workshop on site and may be able to start resizing your ring right away. If the job is simple and the jeweler has no other customers ahead of you, your ring may be resized in as little as an hour. But since the jeweler may have to work on other pieces before he gets to yours, you can usually expect a turnaround time of one to three days.
Many local jewelers will give you a quote of one week, just to be safe. But it is often the case that the jeweler will be able to have your ring resized for you that same day or the next day. Be sure to ask your jeweler about the current workload and the turnaround time for your particular ring.
One thing to note: if your ring is of a particular brand or if you purchased your ring from a certain store and it comes with a store or brand warranty, check the warranty details before taking it to be resized. Some stores or jewelry brands will void the warranty on your ring if you take it to be resized at an unauthorized jeweler. Other crucial determining factors as to the length of time it will take for your ring to be resized is the complexity of the ring itself and what kind of resizing you need.
Firstly, rings made out of tungsten or titanium cannot be resized, because the metal is too hard. Also, some rings made of rose gold are often a bit more difficult to resize, because rose gold is rather temperamental and may crack. So if you get a ring out of these materials, do your best to get the best fit on the front end. The best diamond stores online provide generous resizing policies.
James Allen provides a day free resizing policy as part of their guarantee on every engagement ring and wedding band. Blue Nile also offers complimentary resizing for all customized engagement rings. A good way to check the fit of an engagement ring is to put it on, then try to take it off. Remember, your knuckle is the largest part of your finger. Not sure if your engagement ring is a good fit or not?
Ask your jeweler. Jewelers use several different methods to resize rings. If the ring is too large, your jeweler will remove a small part of the shank the part of the ring that goes around the finger , then carefully attach the ends of the ring back together with solder. The jeweler will then clean and polish the ring to remove any signs of the resizing process.
If the ring is too small, your jeweler will normally cut the bottom of the ring and add a small piece of metal to the shank. Because your jeweler will need to add more material to the ring in order to resize it up, it usually costs more to make an engagement ring larger than to make it smaller.
For a simple ring without gemstones, the resizing process can be much faster. If your ring only needs to be adjusted by a half size or less, it might only take a few minutes for your jeweler to stretch it to the correct size. A spring insert is another easy way for a jeweler to resize your ring smaller, up to one full ring size. Like its namesake, it springs open slightly to allow the ring past your knuckle and then springs back to fit snugly at the base of your finger.
This method is a little more complicated for the jeweler than sizing beads, but still an affordable choice. Wearers typically find a spring insert more comfortable, too. If you don't like the idea of consistently squeezing your finger through your ring to get it past your knuckle, a fold-over device is for you. A jeweler can solder a U-shaped bar across the bottom of your ring, with a hinge on one side and a latch on the other.
All you do is open the latch to put the ring on and swing it shut to hold it in place. With this method, rings can be resized several full ring sizes smaller. Fold-over devices are typically reported as comfortable as well. See if your jeweler has a sample ring to try out. If you'd prefer not to visit your jeweler or have an urgent need, you can make a ring smaller at home with DIY ring sizers. Widely available, plastic ring adjusters are a cheap, quick option to solve your ring size issue right away.
They're basically little silicone wedges or sleeves that sit between your ring and your finger. We love BlingWraps by BlingGuard. They do work but can make your ring sit up awkwardly off your finger.
They're also much less reliable than something a jeweler solders on and they do have the risk of slipping out. You might need a near-instant, cheap method to make your ring smaller. You might thus be tempted by DIY methods that involve adhering something to your ring. It will look exactly the same, but it will fit more snugly.
The simpler the band, the easier this process will be. Make sure to ask the jeweler if you can have the leftover metal they cut from your ring. It's called the "cutout" and it's good to hold on to it in case you need to have your ring made larger in the future.
Making a ring larger is a more complicated process than making it smaller. It entails the jeweler stretching the metal, and this can only be done up to half a size larger. If you need it to be larger than that, the jeweler will cut the band and add in an extra piece of metal, which they will then solder, clean and polish. As with making a ring smaller, simple bands are easier to make larger. For example, if your ring has channel settings, it might be necessary to rearrange the stones during the process of resizing the ring.
If your sparkler is set in a full eternity band, it can't really be resized. Because the stones are set all the way around the band, there's no bare metal to work with. In terms of metals that can't be resized:. If your ring is unable to be resized, wearing another tighter ring can help a ring that is too loose to stay in place.
Other than that, there's one last resort if you're in love with your engagement ring but it can't be resized. You can talk to a jeweler about remaking the ring in the correct size, and then you'll have your dream ring and the perfect fit! Your Privacy Rights.
