White Gold Ring Resizing: Is a Size Reduction Possible?


Question
Dear Thomas,
I read your informative advice on ring resizing related to metal type and settings.  With regard to the following ring, www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWeb/Product.bos?type=Product&quantity=1&itemNumber=44305 made of white gold and multiple stone settings, is resizing it from 7 down to 6 advisable?

Answer
Jose, thanks for the illustration. Seeing the ring makes all the difference in being able to answer your question.

In this case, the stones are set in the top of the ring and bending needed to bring the band together to go down one size may be done without affecting the settings. A competent jeweler should be able to size this ring down 1 size with no problems whatsoever.  This one is go! : )

God Bless and Peace.  Thomas.

(1 size is right at 2.5mm 0r 1/10 inch of metal.)
