Ring Size Guide
Ring Size Guide & Complimentary Resizing
Choosing the correct ring size online can feel daunting — we completely understand. That’s why we offer a fast, professional resizing service wherever it is safe to do so, with clear guidance and friendly support throughout the process.
How many sizes is considered safe?
As a general guideline, most rings can be resized safely within up to 2 UK sizes up or down. Many rings can also be adjusted up to 3 sizes, depending on the ring’s design, metal, setting, and overall condition.
If you require more than 3 sizes, please contact us before ordering. In some cases, larger adjustments can still be carried out safely, but this must always be assessed on an individual basis.
Resizing costs (and why we keep it fair)
- Complimentary resizing: up to 2 UK sizes (where safe and suitable).
- More than 2 sizes: £50.
Any resizing fee paid is fully refundable should you decide to return the ring, subject to the notes on unusual sizing requests below.
Returns on resized rings
We are happy to accept returns on resized rings because we want you to feel confident when purchasing jewellery online.
The only time a return may not be possible is where a sizing request is unusual and would make the ring very difficult for us to re-sell. If we think this may apply, we will always discuss it with you before any resizing work is carried out.
In plain English: if the requested size would suit a friendly giant or a fairy, we’ll have a quick chat first.
Typical resizing costs & turnaround times
Professional ring resizing in the UK commonly costs £30–£120+, with turnaround times often ranging from 3–10 working days.
We aim to keep this service free or at the lowest possible cost and to offer a much faster turnaround wherever possible, as we know these extra touches make a real difference when buying online.
Our resizing process & communication
Resizing requests are sent to our goldsmith the same working day as your order. Your ring is usually received by the goldsmith the next working day.
If there are any issues, you will be notified very quickly — typically within 1–2 working days (or up to 2–3 days in rare cases involving postage delays or where extra care is required).
We are always available if you would like an update. Live Chat is the quickest way to reach us, as your order number comes through automatically.
If resizing cannot be completed
If our goldsmith determines that a resize cannot be completed safely, you will be refunded in full without delay. You will also receive an email explaining the details, along with confirmation of your refund.
Why some rings cannot be resized
Some rings cannot be resized safely due to factors such as:
- Full eternity bands or continuous stone settings
- Very intricate designs or engraved patterns
- Extremely thin or heavily worn bands
- Previous repairs affecting metal integrity
- Certain antique or vintage constructions
If a ring is resizable but carries higher risk (for example due to antique gold, delicate shoulders, or historic settings), this will be clearly stated on the individual product page. This information is also useful if you ever choose to resize the ring with another jeweller in the future.
Antique rings vs modern rings
Modern rings are generally easier to resize due to consistent metal thickness and contemporary manufacturing techniques.
Antique and some vintage rings may require extra care because of natural wear, historic manufacturing methods, or earlier repairs. This does not mean antique rings cannot be resized — simply that more conservative size changes are sometimes recommended for long-term safety.
Stone security during resizing
Very occasionally, small stones (such as diamond shoulders) can loosen or come out during the resizing process.
If a stone cannot be safely re-set, a replacement may be required. Any replacement stone will be strictly like-for-like in carat weight, size, and clarity, and will be provided at no additional cost.
If an identical replacement cannot be sourced, you will be notified immediately and refunded in full.
