Why do jewelers resize rings. When you buy an expensive diamond why ruin the outline of the ring setting by resizing it. My jeweler told me one of my rings is only made in a few sizes and all rings are then resized.
Well the difference is that one ring I own although the ring looks round, when I look at the ring from the side - as when the ring is lying on the dressing table - the casting looks twisted. The ring is cast and has a squared off look on the sides.
Well I got a different ring from this same jeweler but ordered it through their website and this ring is perfect. This is another ring I now own. I have had the first one for a while. I suspect that the website gets the manufacturer to resize the ring. Does the manufacturer do this in a different way from the stores jeweler? I was wondering if the manufacturer sizes the ring from the shoulders say before the mounting is set in and this leaves the rounded part of the ring untouched whereas the stores jeweler sizes the ring in the normal way by cutting the bottom of the band, sizing it smaller, rejoining it and rounding the band on a mandrel.
The ring looks okay on the finger. I am wondering if I am just being too picky and no one else looks at their rings off their fingers and lying flat on say a dressing table. I suppose most people take of the ring and stick it into the ring roll in their jewelery box.
I know that the difference is in the sizing as a friend as the same ring as the one I bought from the website and hers was resized by the store and has the same twisted look as my other ring has. Both styles of ring are cast and have a squared off look to the sides so maybe it is the squared look that is affecting the resized ring.
I suppose as I have had the other ring for over a year now I just have to keep it but any future rings I would rather order from the website. I am wondering how other customers to the store feel or maybe they just do not notice it the way I do.
Can some of the experts comment and also some of the readers give their opinions?
