We do not offer resizing service. This page is for informational purposes only. Sterling Silver Rings can be resized, however the cost may not be justified. Sterling silver rings can be divided into two basic classes. The first class would be rings with stones, inlays and other adornments. The second class would be bands. Bands would have to be further separated in plain and those with patterns. Considering than most highly skilled tradesman, including jewelers bill their time around $70.00 to $90.00 per hour all repair work is expensive.

The simplest and least expensive resizing is to have a plain band that is not highly polished enlarged. There are several common jeweler's tools to do this job. Many look like a tapered cone with several curved panels around a center core. The ring is placed over the cone and a lever is pulled to spread the curved panels.
As the panels move out from their starting position the band's diameter is increased and either the thickness of the band, or it's height is slightly decreased and the inner diameter is increased. There is no change in the weight of the ring. This process works find to increase a quarter to a half size. If too large a change is attempted, or there is a delicate pattern scratch marks on the outer surface of the ring will become obvious. This process requires an accurate measurement of the finger, and possible may be done in several small steps to be sure that the ring is not overly enlarged. If several trial fits are done, and the tool is in a convenient position the process may only take several minutes. Expect to be charged the shop's minimum service charge.
