Ring Resizing

Yes, all rings can be resized - or if the design is unsuitable for resizing, the ring will be remade to ensure the right fit.

Rings like 100% set eternity rings or full diamond bands may need to be remade if resizing is not possible - we'll still cover the cost if this is needed within the first 60 days of receiving your ring. You may want to take this into consideration when creating such designs, and instead opt for a 70% diamond coverage on your eternity ring, wedding ring or diamond band engagement ring. This ensures a good amount of plain metal to work with when altering the size.

Please note that engraved rings may need to be re-engraved when resized. To avoid this, you may prefer to wait until you know the ring fits perfectly before engraving.

The process of resizing a ring is relatively simple, but still requires great precision and skill to ensure a seamless finish with no apparent join in the metal work.

1. The back of the ring shank is cut. To reduce the ring size, a small amount of metal will be removed. To increase the size, a small bit of metal will be added.
2. The goldsmith will use a measuring tool to ensure the correct size is met.
3. Via laser welding, the metal will be welded to a smooth and clean join.
4. The ring will undergo a final polish and quality control check to make sure the resizing work leave no visible trace.

Ring resizing typically takes one working week. It may require longer if your design is complex or requires remaking rather than simply resizing your ring. When you return your Queensmith ring to us for resizing, your consultant will give you an accurate due date for completion.

You may want to visit our ring size guide and download our printable ring size chart, but perhaps the best bet for guessing the ring ring size for your partner is by asking Queensmith’s experts, who look at a combination of clothing size and height to make (usually very accurate) estimations. Photos that show your partner’s hand can also be useful for our experts to make their ring size estimation.

It isn’t uncommon that an engagement ring will need resizing post-proposal, typically by one half to one full size, which is a pretty minimal change, but can make all the difference to the security and comfortability of the ring. The resize will usually take one working week, and is most effective when the correct finger size is measured in store by Queensmith’s experts.

Please note, we are only able to resize rings made by Queensmith, and do not offer resizing services for rings purchased elsewhere.

If your ring needs resizing, or if you’re creating a ring without knowing your precise ring size and can’t make it to a Queensmith showroom, please get in touch and our experts will assist you with finding the right ring size.
