Resizing Platinum Rings

[ReneeLynn]

I need to get my platinum engagement ring & wedding band re-sized (made larger). They are contemporary in style and have a sand-blasted finish with diamonds scattered on both rings. I really don't know much about the process and was wondering how easy it will be to get done. I heard that platinum is not easy to work with and can be complicated. I don't want to ruin the design of my ring. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Renee

Hi Renee,
My advice is to start with a shop that has a Laser for welding (rather than soldering) the rings. When they see them they will be able to advise you about the finish.
Good Luck!

Can you go back to the jeweler that made your ring?

If you tell us the general area in which you live, we may be able to suggest stores. Quest Fine Jewelers in VA has a laser welder.
