Greetings from the heart of Newport Beach, friends, and customers! Are you experiencing a little too much wiggle room with your cherished wedding ring or perhaps it's become a bit snug over the years? Don’t worry! At Wm. Harold & Sons, we understand the sentimental value your wedding ring holds and the importance of a perfect fit. Let’s talk about everything you need to know about resizing your ring.
Understanding Ring Sizes
Every ring, just like its wearer, is unique. Ring sizes can be influenced by a host of factors like weight fluctuations, weather (your fingers tend to shrink in cold!), age, and even pregnancy. It's important to measure your ring size accurately for optimal comfort and security. Remember, our expert team at Wm. Harold & Sons is always here to help you find that perfect fit.
When to Consider Resizing
Sometimes, it's difficult to know if your ring requires resizing. If your ring slides around too much or leaves an indentation on your finger, it might be time for an adjustment. Ignoring these signs might lead to your precious ring getting lost or causing discomfort. For more personalized advice, don't hesitate to reach out to our experienced jewelers right here in Newport Beach.
Options for Resizing Your Wedding Ring
You have several options to get that ideal fit. These include professional resizing, which is a permanent solution, or temporary fixes like ring adjusters and sizes. At Wm. Harold & Sons, we always encourage consultation with our team to discuss the best path for you and your ring. Remember, we're not just jewelers – we're a part of your family tradition, committed to your satisfaction.
The Process of Professional Ring Resizing
When you trust a professional like us with your ring, you can rest assured knowing we'll treat it with the utmost care. The process, which can make a ring larger or smaller, requires precision and an understanding of the ring's structure, especially for rings with gemstones or intricate designs.
Professional Ring Resizing Walkthrough:
- Evaluation: The jeweler will assess the ring, examining its structure, materials, and design, especially if it has gemstones or intricate details. They'll also confirm your accurate ring size.
- Deciding the Method: Depending on whether the ring needs to be made larger or smaller, the jeweler will decide the appropriate method.
- To Make Larger: The ring will be cut at the bottom and a small piece of additional metal will be soldered into the gap to increase the ring's circumference.
- To Make Smaller: A small piece of metal is removed from the bottom of the ring, then the ends are brought together and soldered.
- Reshaping: After adjusting the size, the jeweler will reshape the ring on a mandrel (a metal rod) to ensure it's round.
- Refinishing: The ring will undergo cleaning, polishing, and reapplication of any special finishes to restore its original appearance.
- Quality Check: Finally, the jeweler will inspect the ring for any imperfections and ensure the resizing has been carried out accurately.
