Can Engagement Rings Be Resized?

Worried about getting the perfect ring size for your proposal? Discover how resizing an engagement ring can save the day and keep your surprise intact.

Yes, Engagement Rings Can Be Resized!

Absolutely, engagement rings can indeed be resized! This is particularly true if the ring is made from traditional precious metals such as gold or platinum. These materials are the most common metals used for an engagement ring. Fortunately, most jewelers have the tools and skills to size your ring! 

So, if you're worrying about nailing the exact size, don't stress too much. You can make an educated guess and have the ring resized later if needed. This way, you can keep the surprise intact and still ensure the ring fits perfectly.

Traditional Metals vs. Alternative Metals

When it comes to resizing, the type of metal matters. Traditional precious metals like gold and platinum can be resized without any issues. However, rings made from alternative metals such as stainless steel or costume jewelry alloys are a different story. These materials are generally not resizable due to their unique properties and hardness.

It's essential to know what the ring is made of before considering resizing options. Sticking with traditional metals will give you the flexibility you need to make adjustments down the road. I always recommend these four metal options to my clients. Platinum, White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Rose Gold.

The Resizing Process Explained

Curious about how a ring is resized? It's a fascinating process. The jeweler will carefully cut the ring and either add or remove metal to achieve the desired size. After this, the ring is soldered or fused back together seamlessly.

Once the resizing is complete, the ring is polished to perfection. You won't even be able to tell where the ring was altered. If your ring is made of white gold, it will also undergo an additional step of rhodium plating, ensuring it retains its bright, white finish. Any professional jeweler knows to include this crucial step.

Keeping the Proposal a Surprise

Proposing is a magical moment, and you want everything to be perfect, including keeping the ring a surprise. By making an educated guess on the ring size, you can maintain the element of surprise without the worry of the ring not fitting perfectly.

After the proposal, you can easily have the ring resized to fit your fiancée's finger perfectly. This way, you can focus on the joy of the moment rather than stressing about the details.
