When to Resize Your Ring – Signs It’s Time for a Sizing

While the commitment that your ring represents is meant for a lifetime—the perfect fit doesn’t always last forever! 

Our fingers naturally change over time due to factors like weight fluctuations, weather, way of life and even aging. If your ring isn’t feeling quite right, it might be time for a resize. But how do you know for sure? Here are our top signs that it may be time to adjust your ring size—and what to do about it!

1. Your Ring Slips Off Easily 

One of the most obvious signs that your ring is too loose is when it slides off your finger with little to no effort. This may often happen when washing your hands or in cold weather. 

Solution: Just a slight size reduction can keep your ring secure year-round without making it too tight.

2. It's Spinning on Your Finger or Tilting/Shifting

If your ring feels loose and constantly spins around your finger or if it tilts or creates gaps between your skin and the band, these are both signs that it may be too big. A properly fitted ring should stay upright and centered the majority of the time. Spinning/shifting isn’t just annoying—it can also increase the risk of the ring slipping off and possibly getting lost.

Solution: We can easily take your ring down in size or add sizing beads to the inside of the band to create a snugger fit without compromising the look or comfort.

3. It's Uncomfortable or Difficult to Take Off

Our fingers naturally swell throughout the day due to heat, water retention and other factors. However, if you ring is often too comfortable to wear or is leaving redness or indentation in your finger it's time to size up. 

Solution: Resizing your ring to a slightly larger size will make comfortable to wear again and easy to remove while still fitting securely.

4. Life Changes Have Affected Your Finger Size

While most adults shoe sizes may not change, it is completely normal for our finger sizes to change throughout life. Weight changes, pregnancy, and aging can all impact the size of your fingers. If your ring used to fit perfectly but now feels too tight or loose after a major life change, resizing is an easy solution. 

Solution: We will gladly resize your ring to adjust to these life changes while maintaining the integrity of the design.
