How many sizes can I go down in a ring?

Sorry to ask this question here but I figured someone would know! I found a beautiful little antique ring with small oecs in platinum head with a rose gold band that is very delicate but way too huge for me size wise. It's a 9.5 and I'm a 5.5 on my right hand. Is it even possible to go down that far? It is such a sweet ring and a great deal but I don't want a sizing nightmare to make it way more expensive.

Thanks!
 
The word on the forum is that they can usually go up/down 2 sizes. Can you take pics of it and talk to your benchman
to see what he thinks?
 
I was also told by a jeweller that it was 2, otherwise the ring has be fully rebuilt.
 
Is it an integrated head?

If it's quite literally a plain band I don't see why you couldn't go down more than two sizes - or at the very least get the whole thing reshanked. If it's more complicated it's definitely worth asking a benchman IMO.
