How to enlarge a ring

Whether you received a ring as a gift and it turns out to be too small, or your wedding ring is no longer your size. In addition to purchasing errors, the causes can also come from swollen fingers, weight gain, changes in the morphology of the hands over the years...

Rings that are too small are often numerous in jewelry boxes and to remedy this, we are going to share with you the process of enlarging a ring done by a professional. 

Ring enlargement by a professional jeweler

Professionals can enlarge your rings, the number of sizes you wish to win will be the essential element to determine if this is possible and at what price, this is why you will always ask us for the final size desired to establish an estimate for you. .

The price of sizing a ring will then vary according to the type of metal, the design of the ring, the setting of the stones, the color of the gold, its criteria will have an impact on the way of enlarging the ring and the price of the operation.

When your ring needs to be enlarged to a maximum size, the jeweler uses a triboulet to gently stretch the diameter of the ring.

If the jewel requires a larger enlargement, the professional will add metal. He cuts the ring to integrate a new portion of material and thus enlarge the diameter of the ring. 

The difficulties that can be encountered to enlarge a ring 

Note that some rings require much more work and know-how: for example, a ring encrusted with diamonds like some solitaire engagement rings, a Tank ring whose ring body is very wide and the stone integrated into this ring body, will make the operation much more delicate, or will limit the number of sizes that can be increased.

Finally, an engraved wedding ring or a piece of jewelry with intertwined triple rings like some Cartier collection rings or an engagement ring whose entire band circumference is paved with diamonds, like some of the Tiffany & Co collection. It is therefore sometimes necessary to completely reshape the body of the ring, which can make the operation as expensive as a new creation.
