Ring Resizing
Expert On-Site Ring Resizing in Brookline & Boston, MA
Need a perfect fit? Our master jeweler, Igor, resizes gold, silver, and platinum rings right here in our Brookline store, meaning your jewelry never leaves our premises.
Most sizing work is completed within a week. Final pricing depends on the ring's metal type, the width of the band, and whether any diamonds or gemstones need extra protection during heating.
Sizing Price Guide
Our starting rates for standard, slender rings (under 3mm wide, with no complex stone settings) are as follows:
- Silver Ring Sizing: Starting at $45 (For sizing a thin band smaller. Wide, heavy, or signet rings cost more because they require additional labor and raw silver material.)
- 14kt Gold Ring Sizing: Starting at $95
- Platinum Ring Sizing: Starting at $225
- Specialty Rings (Class Rings & Two-Tone Bands): Starting at $235+ (Multi-metal designs, school emblems, and inset gemstones require specialized heat-shielding or custom bench handling to fully protect the details and stones during sizing.)
Important Note on Class Rings & Specialty Bands: We only service genuine precious metals (Gold, Silver, and Platinum). We cannot resize base-metal alloys such as Silidium, stainless steel, or non-precious metals.
Note: White gold pieces require a fresh rhodium plating finish after sizing, which adds an $85.00 charge. For an accurate quote, please visit our store. We will measure your finger, examine your ring, and provide an exact price before starting any work.
Stone Security & Setting Care
Sizing a ring alters the roundness of the band, which can cause small diamond accents to loosen. We take extra care to protect your gemstones. Igor checks every single setting under magnification and tightens the stones so your ring is safe to wear when it leaves our bench.
How We Match Your Ring's Metal
To ensure the sizing seam is completely invisible, we use the exact metal type and karat purity that matches your ring:
- Silver – sized with clean silver solder.
- White Gold – sized with white gold solder and finished with a fresh coat of rhodium plating.
- Yellow Gold – joined using matching karat gold solder.
- Platinum – joined using a high-heat torch or laser welder, depending on which method is safest for your ring's specific design.
