A ring that doesn't fit isn't doing its job. Whether it slides off in winter or won't clear your knuckle anymore, resizing is one of the most common — and most satisfying — repairs we do. The big question is always: how long will it take? Most resizes are completed in about 3 business days; we'll confirm the turnaround before any work begins. Here's what affects the timing.
What affects the time
- Metal — gold, silver and platinum each size and refinish differently.
- Size of the change — a small adjustment is simpler than a jump of several sizes.
- Stones along the band — stones near the sizing area may need to be checked, tightened or reset.
- Setting style and condition — worn prongs, thin shanks or detailed designs add steps.
- Bench workload — the holidays and wedding season are the busiest times of year.
Most resizes are completed in about 3 business days; we'll confirm the turnaround before any work begins.
What usually takes longer — or isn't possible
Eternity bands
Rings set with stones all the way around can't be stretched or cut the usual way. Resizing may require removing and resetting stones or rebuilding the band.
Tension settings
These rely on precise pressure to hold the stone, so resizing is specialized and takes extra time.
Tungsten & titanium
These hard metals generally can't be resized at all. The usual solution is a replacement in the correct size.
Big jumps or intricate work
Large size changes, channel-set stones near the band, or detailed designs take extra time to do right.
