You’ve found the perfect ring – it’s beautiful, sparkly, and just your style. But there’s one small problem: it doesn’t fit. Whether it’s too tight or too loose, don’t panic. Ring resizing and adjustment options are more common (and fixable) than you might think.
Here’s what to do if your ring doesn’t fit quite right.
First, Don’t Force It
If the ring feels uncomfortably tight or doesn’t go over your knuckle, don’t try to squeeze it on — forcing it could damage the ring or your finger. Similarly, if it slips and spins too much, it’s probably too loose for everyday wear. Fit should feel snug but comfortable, with just a little resistance over the knuckle.
Step 1: Check Your Finger Size
Your fingers can change size throughout the day due to temperature, hydration, and even salt intake. Before rushing into a resize, try wearing the ring at different times:
Morning vs evening
After eating salty food or exercising
In hot or cold weather
If the fit issue is consistent, it’s time to consider your options.
Step 2: Speak to the Retailer
If you’ve bought your ring from a trusted jeweller like The Diamond Store, reach out to customer care. Many rings may be eligible for a resizing service or an easy exchange policy, especially for engagement rings or gifts.
Check:
If your ring is resizable (some designs like full eternity bands may not be)
Whether resizing is included or at an additional cost
Expected turnaround time
Step 3: Consider Resizing Options
If resizing is needed, a jeweller will either:
Make the band smaller by removing a small section and rejoining it
Make it larger by stretching the band slightly or adding extra metal
The method used depends on the ring’s metal, design, and how much the size needs adjusting. Resizing is typically done by a professional to maintain the ring’s integrity and appearance. A trusted jeweller will tell you any of their concerns before proceeding with the resize.
What If Resizing Isn’t an Option?
Some rings — like those with stones all around the band (full eternity) or intricate detailing — can’t be resized. In that case:
Ring guards or sizing beads can help make a ring smaller temporarily
You might be able to exchange it for the correct size if it’s a new purchase
Some jewellers offer remakes in your correct size
