What Is Ring Resizing
Ring resizing refers to a process that allows you to customise your rings’ sizes so that they fit your fingers perfectly.
However, things aren’t that simple. Not all rings can be resized, and resizing a ring could damage or weaken its setting.
In addition, if your ring is made of a brittle material like platinum, the resizing process can become more complex.
If your ring is too small for you, your jeweller will cut the band and spread it as much as possible before adding a new piece of metal to fill the gap. To shorten a band, the jeweller will simply cut a small strip off before soldering the band back together in the spot where they cut it.
Why Might I Need To Resize A Ring?
There are many reasons why you might need to consider getting a ring resized. Maybe you received it as a gift or inherited it as an heirloom, and it does not fit correctly. Perhaps you bought it online or overseas and didn’t get a chance to try it on before buying.
If you’ve gained or lost weight or your knuckles have swelled with age, old rings might also have stopped fitting as they once did.
Here at DM Jewellery, our expert jewellers have the experience, skills and equipment necessary to delicately resize your rings so they fit as they should.
How Much Does Ring Resizing Cost in NZ?
The cost of having your ring resized will depend on a variety of factors. These include the amount of work required, whether your jeweller used new materials, the width of the band and the complexity involved.
When you bring a ring in for resizing, ask your jeweller for a quote. You’ll then know whether the repairs are within your budget and make sense relative to the cost of simply buying a new ring.
Should I Resize My Ring?
It’s important to note that every time you resize a ring, you can make the band weaker. For these reasons, if your ring is a very important one to you, for instance, an engagement ring or heirloom with a lot of personal meaning, it’s worth taking the time to resize it so you can wear it.
Resizing a ring will always make it slightly less durable. However, a skilled jeweller, like the team here at DM Jewellery, can resize your ring in a way that minimises the risk of future damage. Simply get in touch with us at dmjsales@outlook.com, phone 07 8788913 for more information about our ring resizing services.
What Rings Can’t Be Resized?
There are situations in which resizing a ring is simply impossible. If you have a ring that doesn’t fit and isn’t suitable for resizing, one option would be to ask your jeweller whether it can be melted down and crafted into a new piece of custom jewellery.
Rings made from titanium, tungsten or stainless steel can’t be resized due to the properties of the metal.
How Should My Ring Fit?
Engagement rings and wedding bands should fit snugly yet comfortably. Your rings should slide on easily and need a slight pull to get them off.
If a ring is uncomfortably tight, that’s a sign that it is too small. If it slips off with no resistance, that suggests that it is too large and needs resizing.

For instance, it’s not uncommon for the claws and settings holding gemstones to need repairs or replacements over time. Metals may require re-plating, and clasps might wear down and require repair.
If you have a lot of sentimental value bound up in an existing item but are tired of its old-fashioned style (for instance, if it was an inherited heirloom), why not discuss having it modified into something more contemporary or closer to your style? custom jewellery

If your broken jewellery isn’t expensive or doesn’t have particular sentimental value to you, buying new jewellery might be a better option than having it repaired. This is especially the case for costume jewellery, where repair might not even be possible.
Sometimes, even fine jewellery might not be suitable for repairs. Some chipped gemstones cannot be recut and reset due to their inclusions. In addition, if you have an ancient piece of heirloom jewellery that’s been repaired many times over the years, it might have unreliable structural integrity. It could be at the risk of breaking if you restored it again.

Learning about these signs and understanding when it’s time to bring your jewellery to the professionals can help you avoid costly repairs in the future.
They say that diamonds are forever, but sometimes they might need a little expert help to stay intact.
