Getting the size just right...
The two questions customers most frequently ask is how to find out what size ring to buy, and what happens if once they’ve bought their ring, it doesn’t quite fit.
ASK FOR A SIZER
Ask for a ring sizer and we’ll pop one in the post for you. Alternatively, visit a high street jeweller and ask them to size your finger/s using a sizing gauge. Don’t be tempted to simply use rings they have on display, as you can’t be totally sure that whoever labelled it got the size correct in the first place! Also keep in mind what kind of width you’d like your ring to be, as the wider the ring, the larger the size you need - the jeweller should have sizers for narrower and wider style rings. See more about ring sizes here.
Maybe you’re buying for a surprise proposal and don’t want to be enquiring about your beloved’s ring size, so in that case you will need to use your powers of estimation, (do ask if you need a hand with these, we have an extensive list of cunning plans you can try!)
And after trying all of those there’s a chance you may still be slightly off…
CAN RINGS BE RESIZED AFTER I’VE RECEIVED IT?
If the size isn’t quite right, resizing isn’t a problem at all. It can usually be done very quickly in the workshop either here or at a high street jeweller or workshop near you. If you’d like it done here, you’ll just need to send the ring back, along with the correct size. If you’d like a ring size at that point, I can pop one in the post for you.
Stretching: Slight stretching to enlarge your ring 1-1.5 sizes is a fairly simple process and is free, (you’ll just need to cover the cost of postage). If it’s a bigger stretch you need, especially for example if there are stones/settings involved, and more than 1.5 sizes is needed, it may need to be done by specialist laser welder which I can organise, (or you can also organise locally to you). This normally costs around £30 + VAT.
Reducing: Making your ring smaller is also totally possible but calls for a slightly more complicated process, involving cutting and removing some material and re-soldering and re-finishing. This also normally costs around £30 + VAT plus P+P. This can usually be done locally to you, or again, it can be done here if you send it back with the required size.
