Hello,

I recently purchased a 0.75 CT diamond Gelin-Abaci tension set engagement ring. It is made of 14K white gold.

I purchased a sz 5, as that seemed to be the finger size of my (soon-to-be) fiancé. However, after the ring was purchased, she stopped in a ring store, and told me offhand her size is actually 4.25.

I live in Boston, and would like to get the ring resized, if possible. I love the ring, and the setting, and don't want to compromise the integrity of the piece, but would prefer that it fits her well!

Anyone know/recommend a jeweler local who can perform this service? Can it even be done? I actually purchased the ring out of state, and it would be a major hassle to get back to that jeweler.

Thanks

Sid

Hi Sid:

Welcome to Pricescope! The only place that can resize your tension setting is Gelin-Abaci. You will need to contact the store where you bought the ring and ask them how to proceed.

Good luck!

is it possible to go to them directly? (Gelin Abaci)

Just because I would like to minimize the mailing process

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris:

I think that they only work through the stores that they supply but you can give it a try.

If the tension ring is a true unjoined at the top type - then DO NOT have it resized.

Cut and solder sizing will not ever be strong enough.
These rings can be plannished larger - but not made smaller without loss of the center diamond,
