Ring Resizing Atlanta
Resizing a ring can be useful in multiple circumstances. For instance, you decide to give your special someone a family heirloom ring. The size is incorrect and needs to be adjusted. What are your options?
There are many factors that go into ring resizing such as material type and labor. Some materials can be difficult or impossible to work with such as platinum or tungsten. A jeweler would be able to help you identify what your options would be based on the type and condition of your ring. The process of sizing up and down differ greatly.
Sizing Down
Resizing a ring to be smaller is done by having the jeweler cut out a bottom section of the ring and soldering the ends back together. If you are thinking of purchasing a ring and are unsure of ring size, it is better to order a larger size than a smaller. In short, it is much simpler to size a ring down than up. Sizing Up
The process of resizing a ring to be larger is more costly and intensive than sizing down. This is because of the additional material and labor involved. One method of resizing a ring involves extra material being added to the bottom of the ring. In other words, elongating the band on the ring. This will allow a ring to be up to two sizes larger. Another method would involve a jeweler stretching the band of the ring subsequently enlarging the ring no more than a half size up.

Ring Remounting Atlanta
Like ring resizing, there are a multitude of reasons someone would need a ring remounted. A ring mounting is the focal point of the ring. It usually holds the stones and incorporates some design elements. For example, general reasons for remounting include:
-Repair: You look at your ring and see damaged prongs, loose stones, or missing stones.
-Update: You want an updated look with your original stone as the focal point.
-Merge: You have two rings with sentimental value that you want to combine into one original piece.
Remounts can provide an excellent way to preserve your stone for years to come. In conclusion, if you see excessive wear, feel like a design change, or want to merge rings, it may be time to consider remounting at Rox Jewelers. We offer a full menu of jewelry repair services.
