Re Sizing

[derekinla]

What do jewelers do when they resize a ring? For example, I might have to have the plantinum e-ring that I purchased re-sized down a 1/4 to 1/2 size. Do they cut a piece out of the ring? What can go wrong? What are the basic technical principles that are followed?

The above is a link I found which I have saved to my files. I am just a consumer but think this may explain some to you although one of the experts may have to reply with regard to platinum.
