Whether you’ve inherited a family heirloom, recently become engaged, or your finger size has changed over time, professional ring sizing can restore both comfort and confidence while preserving the beauty of your jewelry.

Every ring has its own story, construction, and unique characteristics, which is why every sizing or resizing begins with a careful evaluation. Whether we’re adjusting an engagement ring, wedding band, or treasured family heirloom, our experienced in-house jewelers take a thoughtful, precision-driven approach to ensure the ring fits comfortably while preserving its beauty and structural integrity. From the initial inspection through the final polish, each step is performed with the attention to detail and craftsmanship that have made Brown Goldsmiths a trusted destination for ring sizing and resizing in Freeport, Maine for generations.
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Every ring sizing begins with a thorough inspection of your jewelry. We examine the ring’s construction, metal type, gemstone settings, and overall condition to determine whether resizing is appropriate and identify the safest approach.
2. Resizing Assessment
A proper fit is about more than a number. We carefully measure your finger and consider factors such as band width, knuckle size, and comfort to determine the ideal ring size for everyday wear..
3. Precision Ring Resizing
Whether your ring needs to be made larger or smaller, our experienced jewelers use precise techniques to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. We carefully add or remove precious metal as needed while maintaining the original shape and craftsmanship of your ring.
4. Refinishing & Polishing
Once the resizing is complete, the ring is expertly refinished and polished to restore its original beauty. Any evidence of the repair is blended as seamlessly as possible, leaving your ring looking refreshed and beautifully finished.
5. Final Quality Inspection
Before returning your ring, we verify the new size, inspect gemstone settings, and perform a final quality check to ensure your jewelry is comfortable to wear, structurally sound, and ready for years of everyday enjoyment.
Ring sizing and resizing isn’t a one-size-fits-all repair. The process depends on the ring’s design, metal, and construction. To make a ring larger, a jeweler carefully adds matching precious metal to the band before reshaping and refinishing it. To make a ring smaller, a small section of the band is removed, the ring is precisely rejoined, and the band is restored to its original shape. When performed by an experienced jeweler, the finished repair blends seamlessly with the original ring.
A properly sized or resized ring should slide comfortably over your knuckle while fitting securely enough to stay in place.

When performed by an experienced jeweler, ring resizing should not damage your jewelry. Our goal is to preserve the ring’s strength, appearance, and structural integrity while achieving a comfortable fit. After resizing, the ring is refinished and polished so the repair blends seamlessly with the original design.
The time required depends on the ring’s design and the complexity of the work. Simple ring sizing can often be completed quickly, while more intricate designs may require additional time. We’ll provide an estimated completion time after evaluating your ring.
