Ring Resizing Guide
Need to resize a ring? Learn how resizing works, which rings can and cannot be resized, how much it usually costs, and how to keep your ring safe during the process.
How ring resizing works
Resizing involves cutting the band, adding or removing a small piece of metal, and re-polishing the joint so it is invisible. Sizing up or down by one to two sizes is usually simple, but extreme changes can distort the shape of the ring. Find a ring that fits well from the start in our collection.
Which rings can be resized
| Ring type | Easy to resize? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Plain band | Yes | Simple, inexpensive |
| Solitaire | Usually | Depends on stone setting |
| Full pavé band | Risky | Stones can loosen |
| Eternity band | Often no | Stones cover the whole circle |
Getting the size right
Measure at the end of the day when fingers are largest, and remember that size can change with temperature and weight. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size and add a sizing bead for comfort. Talk to us about sizing before you order or resize.
