Yes, a jeweler can typically make your ring bigger. This process is called ring resizing.
How Ring Resizing Works:
- Adding Metal: The jeweler will cut the ring open, add a small piece of metal, and then solder it back together.
- Removing Metal: If the ring is too large, the jeweler can remove a small amount of metal to make it smaller.
Factors Affecting Resizing:
- Ring Style: Some ring styles are easier to resize than others.
- Metal Type: The type of metal your ring is made of will also affect the resizing process.
- Setting: If your ring has a complex setting, it may be more difficult to resize.
Considerations:
- Cost: Ring resizing can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 or more, depending on the complexity of the ring and the jeweler's fees.
- Timeframe: It typically takes a few days to a week for a jeweler to resize a ring.
- Warranty: Check your ring's warranty to see if it covers resizing.
