Why can't you size Gems en Vogue II?

‎04-16-2014 11:10 AM

I thought he had some proprietary mix of metals that went through and through, meaning the piece isn't plated. Why can't they be sized?

Michael's pieces are a mixture of silver and palladium. The palladium is mixed in with the silver (it isn't clad over the silver). For that reason, his rings can't be sized.

You can send your ring to his company to have it sized if need be. Call first, though.

This.

If it were just plated silver, it could be done. They need to return to half sizing on these.

I like the half size idea. I think even Eterna Gold has dropped them. I rarely bother sizing rings now days, but his cost enough to want them to fit perfectly.

You said it...because it's a proprietary metal that goes through and through. What would they weld it with?
