The ring can be adjusted to a larger size by enlarging it, adding gold, or polishing it; The ring can be adjusted to a smaller size by using washers, cutting gold, or winding threads. If you are afraid of damaging the ring by operating it yourself, you can choose to go to a professional jewelry repair shop to modify the size of the ring.
1、 How to enlarge the ring
1. Keep it big
Choose a professional ring stick and slightly stretch the ring apart. However, this method of enlarging the ring through physical principles has significant limitations, as there is a fixed range for the number of ring changes. If it exceeds this range, another method can only be used. Usually, this method can add up to one size number, and it is not recommended to use too many.
2. Add gold
As the name suggests, it is to cut open the ring, add gold to enlarge the rim, and finally weld and polish it. This method is only suitable for rings with relatively simple shapes and materials, such as rings containing fragile materials such as ceramics and mother shells. If you choose this method to change the circle, you must find a professional jewelry repair institution. When adding gold to change the size of the ring, it is usually necessary to use precious metal with the same material as the original ring to attach it to the ring, which requires a certain amount of metal fees to be paid.
3. Polishing
The ring ring can also be enlarged by grinding. Professional maintenance personnel use special equipment to thin the ring ring, which will increase the ring size to a certain extent and make the ring size larger. However, this method also has limitations. For the sake of ring quality, it is recommended to add a maximum of two ring sizes.
2、 How to make the ring smaller
1. Gasket
Although washers are a relatively simple method for ring modification, they are only suitable for situations where the ring is reduced in size. The process is to first make a washer with the same material and color as the original ring holder, and then place it on the inner ring of the ring. This method is the same as enlarging a ring, as it will not cause any damage to the ring. And if the finger ring becomes larger in the future, simply remove the gasket, which is very convenient.
2. Cutting gold
The principle of cutting gold is roughly the same as the principle of adding gold, which is to subtract a part of the ring finger ring, shrink it to the appropriate ring mouth, and then carry out subsequent work such as welding and polishing. This method of changing the small finger ring is relatively safe, but it is not suitable for all rings. Generally, this method can be used for diamond rings and plain ring rings, but it is not suitable for diamond rings or rings with complex patterns.
3. Thread wrapping
A relatively simple way to make the ring finger ring smaller is to wrap it with thread. You can use your favorite silk thread to wrap around the ring to achieve the goal of reducing the ring ring size. However, this method may affect the ring style and may not be very beautiful. It is usually suitable for plain gold rings, which look more elegant and rustic.
