The Perfect Fit
A ring should feel like an extension of you. Whether it’s your engagement ring, your grandmother’s heirloom, or a piece you simply adore, it deserves to rest comfortably on your finger. Not too snug, not too loose, but just right!
Our team of jewelers approaches each resizing with care, precision, and the deep knowledge that only comes from years at the bench. Whether we’re expanding a band that’s grown too tight or downsizing a ring that slips from your hand, our goal is always the same: preserve the soul of your ring while making it feel made for you.
When Should You Resize?
Over time, our bodies change, so a ring that once fit perfectly may now leave a mark, slide too freely, or spin on your finger. Some of the most common reasons to consider resizing include:
- A ring passed down that doesn’t match your size
- A surprise engagement ring that needs adjusting
- Seasonal shifts in how your hands swell or shrink
- Life changes like pregnancy or simply age
We encourage clients to come in for a complimentary sizing consultation. Sometimes a simple adjustment is all it takes. Other times, we may recommend a more refined approach to preserve details like engraving, milgrain, or delicate stone settings.
Adjusted By Hand With Care
Resizing a ring is a deceptively complex process. A well-executed resize should be invisible to the eye and seamless to the touch. At Adam Foster Fine Jewelry, our jewelers take the time to study each piece before making adjustments by hand. We take into account everything from stone placement to structural integrity, so that we handle your piece with the care it deserves.
We also offer laser welding for extra precision and provide additional services like prong reinforcement, stone tightening, and shank replacement if needed.
Ring Sizing FAQ
If your ring feels uncomfortably tight or spins loosely around your finger, it may be time to resize. Our expert jewelers can evaluate the fit during an in-store consultation and recommend the right approach, whether it’s adjusting the shank, tightening a prong-set gemstone, or resizing the full band.
