One of the most common questions we receive at Watch Battery Express, LLC in Loudoun County, Virginia is: "Can my ring be resized?" The short answer is: it depends. Here's what you need to know before bringing your ring in for sizing.
What Types of Rings Can Be Resized?
Solid Band Rings
Solid band rings are the best candidates for resizing. At Watch Battery Express, we specialize in resizing solid band rings up or down up to 3 sizes without soldering. This is a clean, fast, and affordable process that works well for most plain metal bands.
Rings That Are Difficult or Impossible to Resize
Not all rings are good candidates for resizing. The following types may be difficult or impossible to resize:
- Rings with stones set all the way around (eternity bands) — resizing can loosen or damage the stones
- Rings with intricate designs or engravings — the pattern may be distorted during resizing
- Titanium, tungsten, or stainless steel rings — these metals are too hard to resize traditionally
- Rings that require soldering — we do not offer soldering services
How Much Can a Ring Be Resized?
At Watch Battery Express, we resize solid band rings up or down up to 3 sizes. Going beyond 3 sizes can affect the structural integrity and appearance of the ring, so we recommend staying within that range for the best results.
How Do I Know What Size I Need?
If you're unsure of your ring size, we recommend visiting us in person. We can help measure your finger and determine the right size before any work is done.
Not Sure If Your Ring Qualifies?
Contact us before dropping off your ring and we'll let you know right away. We want to make sure you get the best result possible and won't take on a job we can't do well.
