Ring Resizing

Whether a ring feels too tight, slips on the finger or no longer fits comfortably, our skilled jewellers can assess the most appropriate resizing solution. Rings crafted in gold, platinum and silver can be carefully adjusted, where their design allows, while preserving their appearance, comfort and structural integrity.

From engagement rings and wedding rings to treasured heirloom pieces, every ring is individually examined before work begins.

Finding the Right Ring Size

For the most accurate result, we recommend having your finger professionally measured in one of our showrooms. Our specialists will consider how the ring sits on the finger, the width of the band and any difference between the finger and knuckle before recommending a size.

You can also use our Ring Size Guide for guidance before visiting a showroom.

How Rings Are Resized

Making a Ring Larger

Where the design allows, the ring is carefully opened at the base of the shank and a precisely matched section of precious metal is added. The join is securely bonded before the ring is reshaped, refinished and inspected to ensure a comfortable fit and seamless appearance. Discover our Jewellery Repairs & Restoration services for further support with the care and maintenance of your jewellery.

Making a Ring Smaller

To reduce the size, a discreet section of the shank is removed before the ends are carefully rejoined. The ring is then reshaped, polished and inspected, with engravings and hallmarks preserved wherever possible. If traditional resizing is not suitable for your ring, our specialists may recommend a Bespoke Jewellery Redesign as an alternative solution.

When Traditional Resizing Is Not Suitable

Some designs, including full-eternity rings and pieces with intricate settings, may not be suitable for traditional resizing. Following an assessment, our jewellers may recommend an alternative solution.

Sizing Beads or Pips

Small beads of precious metal can be added inside the band to improve the fit and help prevent the ring from turning.

Ring Springs

A discreet internal spring may offer greater comfort where the wearer has a more prominent knuckle or experiences changes in finger size.

For rings that cannot be resized using traditional methods, our Bespoke Jewellery Redesign service may provide an alternative solution.
