White Gold Engagement Ring Resizing: Avoiding Lines & Cost


Question
Hi.  I have an engagement ring that needs to be resized.  Its made with white gold.  The ring is too big and needs to be smaller.  I'm considering brining it to a jewelry shop to get this done.  Is there going to be a noticeable "line" as to where the ring was cut?  How much should I expect to pay so I don't get taken advantage of.

Answer
Greetings,

A good jeweller will be able to repair or resize your ring without you being able to tell.
As to whether you can see a line, my question to you is whether you can see one now? Or any other obvious joins?

The ring will be re-sized or repaired in exactly the same fashion as it was made.

Depending on the type of ring and setting - which I obviously haven't seen - and the amount that it needs to be shrunk, anywhere from $40 ~ $100.....
Its done by hand and with care, and it can tae some time.

Hope that helps, P
