Ring Resizing

We change over the years, and fortunately our jewelry can change with us thanks to professional ring resizing services from Joseph Jewelry. Our state-of-the-art equipment and expert techniques allow us to adjust the fit of your ring until it's just right. Our skilled artisans bring many years of experience working with fine jewelry to the table, so you can be sure your piece is in the best possible hands.

Whether your wedding ring is feeling a little loose or a little tight all of a sudden, or you want to have an old family heirloom ring adjusted so that you or a loved one can wear it, we have the skills and experience to deliver exactly what you need.

Process Overview

There are several steps in the resizing process, and each is carried out precisely by one of our professional craftsmen. We also use only advanced laser technology, which enables us to focus the heat on the specific area of the ring we need to work on for resizing purposes.

• The first step in the resizing process is to cut the bottom of the shank, which is where we will insert or remove material, depending on whether we're taking the size up or down.

• Next, we work in the new material or remove the excess, and then check to make sure the ring is properly sized.

• Once that's done, we check all gemstones to make sure they're still secure in their settings.

• The final step in the process is to restore the ring to its original appearance, and we accomplish this in a variety of ways depending on the types of features the ring has.

Gemstone Considerations

One significant concern involved in ring resizing is that the heat used can adversely affect any gemstones present, either directly or by loosening the setting holding the stone. The lasers we use for cutting and reforming of the ring allow us to avoid gemstone-related complications because they let us focus the heat precisely where we need it without impacting nearby areas.

Despite this, we still check every gemstone in the ring following a resizing just to make sure nothing has become loose. If we do find a loose setting, we'll sure it up so that we return the ring to you in perfect condition.

Engraving Restoration

While many rings don't contain much detail at the bottom of the shank, some may include custom engraving or some other features that can be impacted by the resizing process. Once the ring has been reconnected and the size confirmed, we'll restore all custom engraving to match whatever was there previously so there is no mark from the resizing process left on the ring.

Final Appearance

Any ring we resize will be returned to you in brand new condition. Once all technical details and gemstones have been attended to, we'll re-plate the ring if necessary, and then polish it so it's ready to go right back on your finger the second you pick it up.

I cannot say enough positive things about Joseph Jewelry. Although everyone we encountered at Joseph was delightful to work with, Bonnie and Danny exceeded all of our expectations with respect to the end-to-end process. Joseph is a custom jeweler and their display pieces are unique and unlike anything we had seen previously. A truly individual ring was a must-have for my fiancée and Joseph could not have been better suited to our needs. After looking at so many similar-looking rings elsewhere, at Joseph, we were immediately struck by finding two different designs we liked with accompanying wedding bands. I preferred one and she the other, but that is the benefit of working with a custom jeweler--we were able to describe the aspects each of us liked about one design or the other. We worked closely with Bonnie through multiple design consults (mostly because we had endless questions) and she was always supremely gracious and took the time to make sure we were absolutely pleased with the melding of the two styles into one, truly unique hybrid. At Joseph, it's clear there is an emphasis on ensuring that the end result of these design consults, CAD proofs, and ultimately wax modeling is that you end up with the perfect ring. It was also truly remarkable how flexible Joseph was with last-minute changes. We had worked with Danny on finding our center stone and discussing the brightset adorning the sides of both rings . He was knowledgeable and professional, patiently showing us different examples of center stones as well as providing quite an education on the 4 Cs of diamonds and how it would affect the final product. We felt very comfortable that we were getting the right balance of cost and value, not simply buying the most expensive stones we could afford. And at nearly the end of the process--design complete, model complete--we found that we wanted a larger center stone, it turned out to be no problem at all. Danny e-mailed 3 examples for us to choose from and had 2 delivered to the store in mere days. They didn't skip a beat where I thought this was going to have a lot of design implications and overhead. Lastly, despite our repeated assurances to Joseph that we weren't in any rush as to the completion date, leave it to me to wait until the 11th hour to ask if it would possibly be ready in time for her birthday--as I recall, the delivery date was still some time away. I never heard a "no", not even a concerned, "hmm...." Instead, Bonnie got back to me within minutes (their online messaging system is really awesome) saying that it would be no problem. Delivery was a breeze and they clearly stand behind their product, asking that the rings be brought in twice yearly for cleaning and inspection. Having that kind of peace of mind with such a large and important purchase is and was a real relief for both of us. I have already referred multiple friends to Joseph and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future. Every time my fiancée gets oohs and aahs from friends, coworkers, heck, even random strangers on the rings, I'll think fondly on just what a wonderful experience it was working with Joseph Jewelry to realize the design of her dreams.
