Rings that are plated with rhodium or gold can not be sized. Most Ripka silver rings are rhodium plated. Depending on where you live, you may have trouble finding a silversmith who would suze any silver ring.

@Spunkyspouts It's doubtful silverplated items can be sized because the plateting could be compromized whre the ring is cut and soldered back together. Gold? If not plated, I see no reason why that ring would be an issue. If there are stones involved, sometimes, depending on the type of stone, they have to removed before heating the ring which adds to the cost.

If you are willing to put up with the "stripe" of a different color on the back of the ring, go for it. I guess it depends on how much you love the ring, resizing is getting more expensive where I live. No one can see the bottom of your ring.

If they are just clad, probably not cost effective to bother.

Silver can be done, but it hard to find someone who is skilled.
