Resizing a ring
Do you have a real "Wim Meeussen ring" that is not comfortable (anymore)? Then we can shrink or enlarge it. There are several reasons to adjust the ring size:
- An engagement ring that is just a little too big or too small
- Your ring finger that has become slightly narrower/thicker over the years
- A ring you inherited from a family member, but which doesn't fit well
- A ring you want to wear on another finger
Enlarge a ring
If the ring stretches too hard around your finger, you should enlarge it. In that case we will add a piece of gold or silver to enlarge the diameter.
Shrinking a ring
With a ring reduction, a piece is removed. Afterwards, we solder everything together and ensure that the seam is finished invisibly.
Points of attention
Finally, a few points for attention when reducing or enlarging a ring:
- There are easy and difficult rings to adjust. That depends on the structure (e.g. rough structure) that we need to update.
- We ask 1 to 2 weeks for adjustments.
- If there is an engraving in the ring, it may be damaged after an adjustment and we need to update it again.
- The cost also depends on the number of sizes you want to increase the ring. After all, an extra piece of gold or silver has to be included.
- To reduce the size of a ring, we only charge the cost price of the reduction (and possibly the engraving had to be damaged).
- During adjustments, diamonds or gemstones can come loose. In that case, the ring goes to our setter to put everything back in place.
We cannot resize or enlarge rings that are NOT manufactured in our atelier.
