“I’m getting an engagement ring for my girlfriend, and I found one I know she’d like. Problem is, it’s at Kay and they won’t resize it to a 10.5 which is the ring size of my girlfriend. They said the stock size of the ring is 7 so they’ll only size it up to a 9. Very discouraged…”
“I purchased this online and it is a bit too small. It is made from sterling silver with gold plating. I am worried though that the gem stability will be compromised if the band is resized up.”
“My mom bought this ring for me when I was born and I’ve never been able to wear it due to the sizing. I’ve really had the itch to start wearing an emerald ring recently and have been wondering if I could realistically get this resized. Believe it said 10K gold.”
Buyers are encountering issues with ring sizing, texture alterations during resizing, and uncertainty about the authenticity or treatment of gemstones. This creates anxiety around value and satisfaction.

“hello, I bought a signet boulder opal ring that is sterling silver, but it will need to be downsized from a size 12 US to a 9 US. I was wondering based on the pictures from the listing and design, would this be fairly easy for an experienced jeweler to do? any thoughts are appreciated thanks. submitted by /u/Steveelectric907 [link] [comments]”

“Can this ring or band be made smaller or because of the braid it will not be possible? It is 14k yellow and white gold submitted by /u/Love2nasty [link] [comments]”
“Currently 6.75. I would need sized up to 9.25 or down to 5.25. Seller says it can be resized +\- 3 sizes but I want a second opinion! Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Total-Breadfruit2959 [link] [comments]”
“I have a platinum ring I need to resize due to losing a lot of weight. I bought the ring over the internet so the original vendor is not local. Is this something a normal shop can resize or do I need to find someone who specializes in it? One of my concerns is if they are able to preserve the pattern. And also, what is the going rate for resizing platinum? submitted by /u/phareous [link] [comments]”
“Life happened, gained some weight and my wedding/engagement ring needed to be cut off and resize up. I was quoted $560 for all of it There are stones and a semi intricate design. The jeweler is local and highly trusted and well liked submitted by /u/Lavender_Haze1993 [link] [comments]”
“I lost this ring and originally had it in a size 8. I found it in a size 6 but and unsure if this type of ring can be resized to a bigger size. It’s a sterling silver chain ring. submitted by /u/Wicket88 [link] [comments]”
“I got a ring with a braid/rope texture from Ross Simons. Annoyingly they only do full sizes. I have a too-loose 7 that needs to be a 6.5. Would a jeweler be able to resize without messing up the texture? Alternately: Vendor recs that do half-sizes? I just want a simple white gold rope/braided ring that’s between 1.5-2mm. submitted by /u/cheersslainte [link] [comments]”
