Ring Resizing
Price range: $150 through $350
Ring resizing is performed in our specialised workshop. The process involves either opening the base of the ring to add a new piece of gold or platinum for resizing it to a larger size, or removing material to make it smaller. For a basic resize down, please allow for a minimum cost of $150. If additional gold or platinum is needed, the price will be slightly higher. Typically, resizing rings takes 5 to 10 business days; however, we can sometimes complete the process quickly if arranged in advance.

More Information About Ring Resizing
Your diamond ring is more than just a piece of jewellery; it’s a valuable investment and often carries deep sentimental meaning. Over time, your finger size can change due to lifestyle, temperature, or life events, leaving your ring feeling too tight or too loose. This is where ring resizing by a professional becomes essential.
Ring Resizing is the process of adjusting the size of your ring to ensure a perfect and comfortable fit. Our expert jewellers can either increase or decrease the size of your ring while preserving its beauty, strength, and original design. Whether it’s an engagement ring, wedding band, or heirloom piece, getting your ring size ensures your jewellery remains wearable and secure.
At Polished Diamonds, resizing is carried out by skilled jewellers using precision techniques. To make a ring larger, we carefully insert a new section of gold or platinum into the band, ensuring a seamless join. To make a ring smaller, we remove a precise section of the band and expertly solder it closed. Once resized, the ring is polished to restore its shine and thoroughly inspected to ensure claws and gemstones remain secure.
When Should You Consider Ring Resizing?
- Your ring feels too tight and is uncomfortable to wear.
- Your ring is too loose and slips off your finger.
- You’ve inherited a ring that doesn’t fit your finger size.
- Seasonal or lifestyle changes have altered the fit of your ring.
- You want to wear your cherished piece daily with confidence.
