Ring Sizing & Ring Resizing Services
A ring that fits properly is more comfortable to wear and better protected from unnecessary wear. If your ring feels too tight, spins on your finger, or slips off too easily, professional ring sizing or ring resizing can restore the ideal fit while helping preserve your jewelry for years to come.
Whether it's an engagement ring, wedding band, family heirloom, or another cherished piece, our experienced jewelers resize rings purchased from Nelson Coleman Jewelers as well as rings purchased elsewhere. We carefully evaluate each ring to determine the best resizing method and provide a free estimate before any work begins.
Why We Use Laser Ring Sizing
- Creates a strong, precise bond for lasting durability
Laser ring sizing allows jewelers to fuse compatible metal with greater control than traditional torch soldering, helping maintain the structural integrity of your ring.
- Helps maintain a clean, refined finish
Traditional solder joints—especially in white gold and platinum—can become more visible over time. Laser work helps minimize noticeable joins for a smoother appearance.
- Ideal for delicate and intricate ring designs
The precision of laser technology allows for careful resizing of detailed settings and fine jewelry where heat from a torch could pose unnecessary risk.
- Preserves both the beauty and longevity of your ring
Laser ring sizing helps ensure a secure, comfortable fit while maintaining the original look and wearability of your jewelry.
Ring Sizing & Resizing Frequently Asked Questions
Many factors are taken into consideration when determining the price of a ring sizing. The millimeter thickness of the band, the type of metal, the number of stones, how many sizes it is going up or down, and if it will be sized by torch or laser.
Unfortunately, we are not able to give a starting price for a ring sizing without first inspecting the ring.
We price all of our repairs using industry standard pricing.
All repair services at Nelson Coleman Jewelers run on a 2-3 week turnaround time, unless otherwise noted by your sales associate. Rush services may be available for an additional fee.
Same-day service for ring resizing is not available unless it is previously scheduled and the ring has undergone a full inspection by our master jeweler.
Sizing a ring requires the removal or addition of metal to the bottom of the shank. We recommend not sizing a ring up or down more than 3 sizes to maintain the integrity of the ring.
Not every ring can be resized, but many can be, depending on the design and materials. Traditional metals like gold, platinum, and silver are usually good candidates for ring sizing or ring resizing. However, certain styles—such as eternity bands with stones all the way around, tension settings, or rings made from alternative metals like tungsten, titanium, or cobalt—may not be able to be resized in a traditional way.
In these cases, our jewelers will evaluate your ring and explain the best available options, which may include alternative sizing methods or custom solutions. Every ring is carefully assessed before any work begins so you understand what is possible, what will preserve the integrity of your piece, and how to achieve the best possible fit.
When performed by experienced jewelers, ring resizing is a safe and commonly performed jewelry service that will not damage your ring. The key is using the correct method for the specific metal, setting, and design of the piece.
At Nelson Coleman Jewelers, your ring sizing or ring resizing is evaluated individually to determine the safest approach. With proper technique—such as laser resizing for more delicate or complex pieces—the structure and appearance of your ring can be preserved while achieving a comfortable, secure fit. In some cases, very old, thin, or heavily worn rings may require additional care, which we will always communicate before any work begins.
