Ring Resizing
Expert on-site ring sizing
Need your ring resized? We have our own master bench jeweler, Igor, who specializes in resizing gold, silver, and platinum rings right here in our store. Your ring will never have to leave our premises for resizing, as all work is done on-site. Please note that titanium, tungsten, stainless steel, siladium, contemporary metals, and wood cannot be resized.
The cost of resizing varies depending on your ring's material, design, and width, as well as whether there are any stones that require special care or retightening, and how many sizes need to be adjusted. The typical turnaround time is about one week. However, simple silver, gold, or platinum bands and solitaire engagement rings can often be resized by the next business day with our express service.
How much does it cost to have a ring resized?
For a precise quote tailored to your ring, we invite you to visit our store. If you have any questions or need assistance regarding pricing, feel free to reach out—we're here to help! We are happy to assist you with resizing your rings. Please keep in mind that the following are approximate cost ranges. When you come in, we'll provide you with an accurate estimate for your specific ring resizing after measuring your finger size and examining your ring to gather all the necessary details.
For silver rings, resizing generally costs between $50 and $100, regardless of whether you’re making the ring smaller or larger. The final price depends on how many sizes we change and if your ring has any stones that require special care. Please note that for wider and thicker silver band rings, the cost for resizing may exceed $100, depending on the number of sizes adjusted and whether there are stones in the ring. Additionally, if your ring has a finish, such as gold plating or patina, there will be an extra charge for refinishing after the resizing. We will provide you with a precise cost estimate when you visit us in-store.
For plain, thin gold wedding bands without stones, resizing usually costs between $70 and $130 for the first size adjustment. For wider bands or higher-karat gold (18k), resizing typically ranges from $150 to $250. The final cost will be determined based on how much gold needs to be added or how many sizes we are adjusting the ring.
When resizing solitaire or accented engagement rings, the typical cost averages between $100 and $200 for the first size change. This can vary based on the design and whether any stones need to be retightened after resizing. If your ring has many accent diamonds, pavé settings, or hidden halos, the resizing cost may range from $170 to $270 for the first size up or down.
How much does it cost to solder a broken shank on my ring?
In most cases, the cost to solder a cracked ring is the same as it would be to size it.
As you can see, the cost of resizing depends on your ring's specific metal composition, its width, whether it has any stones, and how many sizes we need to adjust it up or down. Ring sizing and repair costs are not determined by the value of your ring, but rather by the difficulty of working with the metal and design. We kindly invite you to visit our store for an accurate sizing estimate tailored to your situation; walk-ins are welcome. Our ring resizing pricing includes stone tightening to ensure everything is secure after adjusting the size, as well as a complete cleaning and polishing of your ring to make it shine like new again, and rhodium plating if needed.
We always take extra care to ensure that the stones are securely set after adjusting the metal, especially when sizing up. Each ring is unique and requires proper care to maintain its integrity after resizing, and the price of resizing reflects the labor involved.
More uncommon type of rings that need to be resized:
Uncommon types of ring resizing, such as eternity rings, two-tone metal rings, and class rings, may or may not be possible at all, depending on the design and metal of your ring. To find out for sure, please visit our store so that we can personally examine your ring and provide you with an estimate.
Ring Repair and Restoration
We specialize in repairing and restoring rings that are bent out of shape, have broken or cracked shanks, or feature worn-out thin shanks. Additionally, we offer services for bezel repair and rebuilding, as well as general ring refurbishment and restoration.
For the perfect resizing of your precious ring, we always use the appropriate solder based on the metal type and karat. Silver rings are resized with silver solder, white gold rings with white gold solder, yellow gold rings with yellow gold solder, and platinum rings with platinum solder. After each resizing, we ensure that all your stones are securely and tightly set. White gold rings are then rhodium-plated post-resizing to restore their shine after the heating process.
We welcome you to visit our store, where our attentive staff will measure your finger and our master bench jeweler, with more than 40 years of experience, will resize your ring on-site, guaranteeing the utmost craftsmanship.
