How to enlarge a ring

Whether you received a ring as a gift and it turned out to be too small, or your wedding ring no longer fits you. In addition to purchasing errors, the causes can also come from swollen fingers, weight gain, changes in the shape of the hands over the years, etc.

Rings that are too small are often numerous in jewelry boxes and to remedy this, we are going to share with you the process of enlarging a ring done by a professional. 

Ring enlargement by a professional jeweler

Professionals can enlarge your rings, the number of sizes you wish to gain will be the essential element to determine if this is possible and at what price, this is why you will always ask us for the desired final size to provide you with a quote. .

The price of resizing a ring will then vary depending on the type of metal, the design of the ring, the setting of the stones, the color of the gold, its criteria will have an impact on the way of enlarging the ring and on the price of the operation.

When your ring needs to be enlarged by a maximum size, the jeweler uses a triboulet to delicately stretch the diameter of the ring.

If the jewelry requires greater enlargement, the professional will add metal. He cuts the ring to integrate a new portion of material and thus enlarge the diameter of the ring. 

Difficulties that can be encountered in enlarging a ring 

Please note that some rings require a lot more work and know-how: for example, a ring encrusted with diamonds like some solitaire engagement rings, a ring Tank whose ring body is very large and the stone integrated into this ring body, will make the operation much more delicate, or will limit the number of sizes that can be increased.

Finally, an engraved wedding ring or a piece of jewelry with triple intertwined rings like some rings from the collection Cartier or an engagement ring in which the entire circumference of the ring is paved with diamonds, like some of the Tiffany & Co collection. It is therefore sometimes necessary to completely reshape the body of the ring, which can make the operation as expensive as a new creation.
