Correctly determine the size

Of course, the best thing when buying such an expensive gift is to know the exact size or even better to buy it in the presence of a lady of the heart. In this case, you need to keep in mind that your fingers may swell in the morning, especially in hot weather. It can also occur after physical exertion, as well as at elevated temperature during illness.

Important! The thickness of the fingers on the left and right hand is different.

If you do not know the size exactly, then you can calculate it in some simple ways at home:

• A strip, 1 cm wide, is inserted inside the product. Mark is made with a pencil at the place where one of the edges ends. The ruler measures the length of the marked strip. The resulting number is divided by 3.14 - this will be the size of the jewelry.
• The most accurate way at home is to measure the internal diameter with a vernier caliper, it's just that not everyone has it.
• You can measure using coins if you have them: 1 ruble - 21 size, 50 kopecks - 19.5 size, 5 kopecks - 19, 10 kopecks - 18, 1 kopeck - 16 size.
• The simplest, but not the most accurate, is to measure the size of the ring with a ruler, while taking the inner diameter.

We take into account the features of different jewelry

The most accurate way is to contact a jeweler or jewelry store.

As you can see, the risk of spoiling the jewelry is very high, so the most reliable way is to contact the jewelry workshop.

If you need to resize the ring, consider the following points:

• If the surface is smooth, then the master will be able to increase it even by 2-3 sizes, but if there is a drawing or stones on the jewelry, it will not be so plastic, in this case, the increase is not recommended.
• Decide on which finger you will wear the jewelry to determine the exact diameter.
• Try on the product in a relaxed state - if your fingers are swollen, then when the swelling subsides, the decoration will be great for you.
• Inquire about the masters, it is better to talk with 2-3 masters yourself, discuss the details. The price should not be artificially inflated. If the master told you in detail about the upcoming procedure, warned of possible risks, but gave a guarantee on the quality of his work, then at such a workshop you can choose. Note that gold is a fairly soft and pliable material.

Important! Platinum products can only be repaired with special expensive equipment, not every workshop can afford it, therefore the price will be higher, respectively.

2. A piece of metal of the same quality and sample is inserted in place of the cut so that the fragment does not differ in appearance.
3. The place of soldering is welded. The seam is not visible with the naked eye, its thickness does not exceed 0.1 mm
