![]() ![]() ![]() Once the metal is cooled the ring is filed, shaped and polished. The fusing technique involves cutting out the section of metal, creating a piece of metal thicker, wider and longer than the gap and heating the edges up to a melting point and making the ring solid again. This is important because our preferred method of resizing is called fusing. Metal type is a huge factor as different metals melt at different temperatures. When a size needs to change 3 sizes or more (with stones in it) the circumference needs to follow the line of the setting, so instead of the ring being perfectly round, it will often be slightly oval. If there are diamonds or gemstones, once we have a new size we go around and tighten those stones. What is the current size, what is the new size?īasically, changing a ring size 3 sizes won’t affect the shape of the ring.Are there diamonds/gemstones in the ring?.What we need to know before putting together a quote is The US uses a number system, Japan uses a different numbering system, Europe uses a different numbering system and here in Australia we use an alphabet system (we have a ring stick/mandrel that converts the different numbers): To complicate matters, even more, there is no one standard ring sizing metric. ![]() I know there are many misconceptions about ring resizing, so I thought it would be good to dispel some of them here (based on years of experience, lots of funny stories, and every type of hand and finger imaginable). If you bought the wrong size of shoes or clothes, you would be onto it to get the right size or fit. In all seriousness, we take ring resizing very very seriously! I want Jewellery to be worn, not sat in a drawer, hidden away. ….I promise you, it is never half a size. It only needs to go up/down half a size……. The simple answer is there is no set cost, because every ring we see is different, every finger that needs a ring resized is different. ![]()
