Even though skilled professionals like Mauzie can complete a ring resizing in only a few hours, it takes years of practice to do the work correctly and efficiently. Here are a few of the things that go into a ring resizing that you may not have considered!

Can You See Where Your Ring Was Resized?

Whether sizing up or sizing down obviously the band and shank of the ring needs to be adjusted. But what shouldn’t be obvious is where the band was adjusted. This requires the jeweler to perfectly blend not only the color of metal but also the cut and style of the band. Too thick or thin and not only will the ring look bad but you may also be able to feel the difference as you wear it.

When done correctly, the point of adjustment should be almost or completely invisible to the untrained eye!

What Type Of Band Or Shank Do You Have?

Not all rings require the same approach to resizing!

The band, or in jewelers terms the shank, and the type of metal that it’s made from determine what process is required to complete the resizing. Silver, for example, conducts heat differently and so can sometimes require a different process to complete the work. While platinum and gold react differently still!

Add to that, the popular style of having small diamonds or other gemstones in the band of the ring and you can see how a simple resizing is not so simple at all. Mauzie, however, has done work like this for decades!

How Are The Stones Placed?

The process of resizing, if done incorrectly, can sometimes disturb the prongs or head of the ring that hold the stones in place and cause them to dislodge. This is not something you need to worry about when you work with Mauzie!
