The simplest solution is when Decoration<\/a> suddenly became too big - just put it on the other finger. But this option is not suitable for everyone, because it can be an engagement piece or a gift on the occasion of an engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you reduce ring size<\/a> at home? Is it possible to reduce an engagement ring? Where do I go if I have a similar problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will try to answer each of the questions in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can the jeweler reduce the size of the ring<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are a total of three techniques for changing the diameter of the ring. Any jewelry workshop will do such work, and the price and timing will depend on the design of the item and its construction. Based on these parameters, a professional jeweler chooses the method of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The procedure requires from the master precision, knowledge of the properties of stones and metals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Adjustment of the size may be necessary when a person has suddenly gained or lost a habitual weight<\/a>If you have inherited a piece of jewelry or bought it without trying it on, you bought it in an online store where the size chart does not correspond to the actual size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut 3-4 mm of the rim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This technique fits almost any ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the jeweler determines how much the circumference needs to be reduced. When the diameter is determined, the jeweler removes the stone and cuts out the missing piece. The jewel is ground and polishing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cutting of the bezel portion is done with a laser or open flame. The first option suits most jewelry, even those covered in enamel and mother-of-pearl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Important: Some of the metal removed from the jewelry is always returned to the customer. The precious metal is his property.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Punch compression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A punch is a tool used when marking, stamping or pressing materials. Jewelers refer to it as a press or \"Pinocchio\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press compression is only suitable for rings without inserts, with a flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product is strongly heated to increase the flexibility of the metal. After heating, it is placed inside a special press, similar to a disk with indentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the ring is compressed to the desired diameter, then the craftsman polishes the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This method will not shrink the jewelry by more than 2 sizes. In addition, this method is not suitable for items wider than 8 mm.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The compression method is ideal for shrinking an engagement ring when it has become large due to changes in the weight of the wearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inserting another bezel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A universal method suitable for non-standard products. It is also the safest, but can be the most expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The master solders another rim inside the ring rim. The material can be used in this case, at the choice of the client. The main thing is that the colors of the alloys do not contrast with each other.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After cleaning and sanding, the soldering point will be inconspicuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average cost of ring reduction services, what it depends on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The prices depend directly on the technique that the jeweler will choose to adjust the diameter of the ring, the complexity of the piece, and its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average cost of a ring reduction without stones<\/a>The cost of the product is about 500-1000 roubles, sputtering and design extravagances. Processing a product that requires a lot of painstaking work can cost twice as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The processing time also depends on the complexity of the jewelry. Simple items are processed in an hour, ornate designer rings - up to 3 days.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Defects in the work of the master. How to avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the alloy of the jewelry is unknown, it is better to refrain from adjusting it in a jewelry shop. For example, if ring<\/a> The first time it was plated with rhodium, it will lose its original hue as a result of being heated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

If a jewelry shop does not have special equipment, it will not be possible to reduce a platinum ring, as this metal is non-melting and inflexible. Sometimes, even with good equipment, a visible mark remains in place of the removed platinum piece.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cracks, defects in the outline of the jewelry, brightening of silver rings, and the appearance of a seam in the place of soldering can occur due to mistakes of the master. These defects are least likely to occur when the workshop is equipped with laser equipment and the jeweler is a professional with many years of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
