Bought this ring Preloved, it's on its way.

Do you think it's possible to resize it down to 4.5 from 8.5??

that’s a lot. Could you compromise? Size it down to a pointer finger size or down 2 and add a sizing bar?

I’m not sure 4 sizes is doable but you never know? If not I use those coil style vinyl sizers on my slightly too big ring and they are comfortable.

it can definitely be done - but it wouldn't be able to stay circular. It would have to be oval, in quite a pronounced way, to allow the head to remain untouched. To make it truly circular, you'd be looking at changing the angle of the part of the ring holding the sapphires (along with the rest of the ring as well), which would almost certainly start popping out the sapphires.

I'd be a bit iffy about anyone who told you it could be done and still be symmetrically circular. And ovaline would squish parts of your finger.

So - "it's a no from me, Dawg!"

no, not in a way that would look decent and be secure.

That’s really pretty! You should sell it to me because I only need to size it to a 9!
