Resizing

[Harriet]

Should I have a local jeweller do it or send the ring back to the vendor (Whiteflash)?

 

[iheartscience]

You have a simple solitaire setting, right? I''d probably get a good local person to do it if that was the type of setting I had. Especially because you''re in NYC! I would go to ERD and see if they could do it for me.

In my experience, even the simplest jobs can become nightmares if you the person doing the job isn''t up to your standard. I would only go local if you 110% trust who your leaving it to....otherwise, WF all the way. Once the money on shipiping is spent, you wont miss it and all you''ll be in happy with the outcome.

Good luck!

Thanks, you two.

I''d not worry about sizing it until your diamond is reset into the Leon setting. Then you won''t have to worry about leaving your diamond with another jeweler. But I wouldn''t send it back to WF just for sizing. I''d just get soem kind of temporary sizing device to use until then. It seems like some of the girls have found something to use at Claire''s.

But you''re getting a new setting from Leon real soon right? If you are, maybe local is good enough till the new setting comes through?

I wouldn''t say real soon. Leon''s on vacation for the next 2 weeks, and after that he''ll take 4-6 weeks to make my new setting.

I would just go local for resizing.

To resize a simple solitaire setting, I''d just go to a local jeweler you trust.

 

[Harriet]

Thanks, you other two. It''s become so loose that the stone spins all the way to the side.

if i understand correctly, you will have a new setting/ring in about 2 months? in the grand scheme, that isn''t that long.... not long enough, IMO, to risk having anything happen to your stone before it makes its voyage to its new home!! i''d just go to claire''s and get the little rubber sizer to keep it from spinning until it goes off to leon''s. just my .02.

Claire''s exactly where I''m headed today. Thanks!

Harriet--let me know if the plastic sizers work for you. I tried them and they didn''t do the job for me. Too bulky and not a good fit for my ring or my finger!!

Resizing a solitaire is pretty easy work and I wouldn’t expect much trouble or much of a bill from your local craftsman. If you’ve got a jeweler that you trust I would just have them size it until you get your new one from Leon.

I think you void the warantee from WF if you have someone else work on the ring. You may or may not care about this, but I thought I should mention it.

Sizing a solitaire ring is an easy job though for a local jeweler you trust.

Hi Marian,
The Claire''s near me closed down. I''ll let you know when I get to try on a plastic sizer.

That''s a consideration because I''d like to re-use the setting.

I think target might sell similar plastic sizing things as claire''s.

Thanks, and congratulations!
