Now that you have your wedding band had for a few years, you notice that it is not as it used to be. The usual culprits for finger size changes are weight gain or loss, age, injury or even pregnancy. If a ring is too tight, it will cut off circulation and uncomfortable to wear. If a ring is too loose, it may get damaged or lost easily thanks to the falling off constantly. The best thing to do is to have the ring resized, it fits so as comfortable as the day you bought it. Before you rush off at your local jeweler to ring custom, you must make some important facts about ring resizing understand.
Plain bands, which means that rings of metal only with no stones settings are usually the best candidates for resizing. If they are made of softer precious metals, such as gold, Platinum, palladium and silver, that makes it even easier to resize it. Just format means the ring is either to increase the size stretched or squeezed smaller. It is usually not recommended to change the size of a ring up or down more than 2 whole sizes, preferably to to or from a whole scale is the most ideal change. If your jeweler recommends the band to cut and re-soldering it back together, it probably means that they do not have the skills or equipment to do the resizing. Cut a band will probably mean there will be a sign or mark that the ring was then cut. There should be no need to cut the band unless there is a considerable size. A trained jeweler should be able to resize a plain ring by 1 or 2 sizes without any visible signs of change.
Not all wedding rings without stones are the same. Plain bands without pattern or design, as a ring plain dome-shaped or round style, are the easiest to format. As a ring milgrains, braided designs or cut patterns, harder it want to change, such as the pattern it can disrupt or finish. Many jewelers will tell you that your ring may not quite be adapted when there is a kind of pattern or design. Again, this is not true. Very skilled Jewelers can usually up to 1 full size with no visible sign of change of the ring pattern.
Rings with stones settings require even more skill and much harder to resize it. A half size change is usually fine. More than a half a size change depends on the quality of the institutions, amount of stones, etc. .. Once a ring more visible stones than actually metal, as in the case of eternity bands, would it not be worth the format because this would lead to reset all the stones, and possibly change to stone for the new size, which is highly labour-intensive and the result is usually uneven stone settings, making the band look worse off.
Rings made of sustainable alternative metals such as tungsten carbide, titanium, Cobalt-chrome and stainless steel are extremely difficult to change, due to the hardness of the metal. Tungsten wedding bands are the hardest of these metals and all size cannot be changed. For these types of metals, it is always best to check that the jeweler or manufacturer sizing policy that allows you to trade in your ring for a different size if the size of your finger ever changes your life. This is the only viable method for the issue of the finger size changes in your life. Many buyers overlook this fact and do not take into account the importance of a lifetime guarantee with the purchase of their wedding bands. Of course, are the best guarantees to those who do not charge a fee for size exchanges. Do not assume a lifetime warranty to be free, many hidden fee, unless they explicitly say there is no cost for the use of the guarantee.
