A ring that feels different
Tell us whether the ring is loose, uncomfortable or difficult to wear, and how long you have noticed the change.
Nash & Co · Caversham, Berkshire
Ring resizing
in Reading.
A favourite ring should feel right on your hand. If yours is too loose, too tight or has been left unworn, bring it to Nash & Co to discuss its fit and the options for resizing.
Ring resizing
A change of fit starts with a closer look.
The right approach depends on more than a ring size.
We need to consider the ring itself: its metal, the shape and thickness of the band, its stones and settings, and any previous work. Explain how it currently feels and whether you wear it alone or alongside another ring.
Some designs allow more adjustment than others. A band with stones or detailing around much of its circumference needs particular consideration. A photograph or a size measurement alone cannot tell us whether your ring can be resized.
If the fit is part of a larger problem, or the design no longer suits you, we can also talk about repairs or remodelling. The first visit is about understanding the piece and discussing a suitable way forward.
Wedding & engagement rings
Bring the rings you wear together, so their combined fit can be considered in the conversation.
Older or stone-set rings
Bring any known repair history. Settings, engraving and the condition of an older band may affect the work that is possible.
Before your visit
Make the first conversation count.
If you are coming from elsewhere in Reading, Berkshire or South Oxfordshire, contact us first to discuss your piece and confirm the best next step.
- The ring itself and any other rings you normally wear beside it.
- Details of previous resizing, repairs or a known metal or stone type.
- Any occasion or deadline, so timing can be discussed before you leave the piece.
Your questions
Before you decide.
Can every ring be resized?
No. The metal, construction, stones, settings and condition all matter. Some designs cannot be altered in the way you would like. Bring the ring for assessment before assuming a particular size change is possible.
Can you make a ring smaller or larger?
Depending on the individual ring, it may be possible to discuss either adjustment. The amount of change matters as well as the design. We need to see the piece before confirming what can be done.
Can an eternity ring be resized?
Stones set around a band can make alterations more complicated. The setting pattern and construction need to be assessed. We cannot confirm suitability from the name of the ring style alone.
How much does resizing cost, and is it done the same day?
Price and timing depend on the ring and the work required. Ask the shop for an assessment and current timescale. Please do not plan around a same-day service unless the shop has specifically confirmed it for your piece.
Do I need to know my ring size before visiting?
No. Bring the ring and explain the fit you are experiencing. The conversation is about the ring, the hand it is worn on and the adjustment that may be appropriate.
