Has anyone had a JR ring sized

‎10-10-2014 01:33 PM

I purchased the JR tanzanite ring but its a size to small. Im fearful about sizing it and wanted to know if anyone has sized a JR ring and what was the outcome. Should I size it or send it back?

I had one sized years ago and my jeweler complimented the ring and commented on the ease of sizing the ring.

I've had a few sized. Easy job for jeweler. I just tell them to make sure to save the Ripka name and 925 markings.

When you have a ring with a stone sized, you run the risk of the stone cracking due to the high temperature that must be achieved to solder silver. I had an amethyst ruined that way and my jeweler is a silversmith who uses a special technique. It didn't work this time.

You need to make them aware that it's plated with rhodium, also, FYI.

It can be sized but only if there is no gem.

I have never heard this before.

My JR ring had several stones. Almost all my rings that have been sized have stones.

I read that it is better to size a ring up if there are stones as opposed to sizing down...I need a couple resized.

depending on how the stones are set. Channel set, bezel set, prong set, glued in etc.

If sizing more than <1/2 size the jeweler will have to have to adjust or correct the stone settings so they do no fall out.

I am a size 4 ring, ring sizing is part of my world.
