There are various reasons why the beloved wedding ring no longer fits properly. If you have put on weight, want to move your wedding ring to another finger or suffer from an illness that causes swollen fingers, the ring may need to be enlarged. You should always have your wedding ring enlarged if it has become too small. A ring that is too small is painful and can lead to health problems. If you notice that your wedding ring needs to be enlarged, there is no time to lose. Depending on the nature of the ring and the extent of the enlargement, there are different options, which we would like to explain to you in the following section.
Can each ring be enlarged?
Whether a ring can be enlarged depends on several factors. First of all, it depends on the material. Precious metals such as platinum, gold or silver can usually be enlarged without any problems and without the enlargement being visible at the end. Harder materials, such as titanium or stainless steel, are a greater challenge even for an experienced goldsmith. However, with a little extra effort, enlargement is also possible here. And what about rings with gemstones? For rings with a single stone, enlargement is easily possible. If there are several stones, enlargement can be more complex. In the case of existing engravings and special surface structures, the goldsmith's full skill is required to ensure that your ring looks the same afterwards as it did before the enlargement. It is best to contact a Fischerpartner jeweler and discuss the options for enlarging your wedding ring with him. You don't want the symbol of your love to lose its beauty in the end.
The right magnification method for every ring
There are different methods for enlarging a wedding ring. If your ring only needs to be enlarged by one or two sizes, the ring can be stretched quickly and easily, depending on the material. The material of the ring only becomes slightly thinner and the exterior of the piece of jewelry is not visibly affected. Please note, however, that this method is not suitable for every type of ring. The simpler the ring, the easier the enlargement. Contact an experienced jeweler and ask for advice. They will know exactly what options are available for your wedding ring.
What costs do you have to expect for ring widening?
Would you like to have your wedding ring enlarged and are wondering what the costs will be? Unfortunately, there is no clear answer to this question. The enlargement of a ring is just as unique as the piece of jewelry itself. The price of the enlargement depends, of course, first and foremost on the work involved for the goldsmith. Generally speaking, the simpler the ring, the easier and cheaper the enlargement. The costs you will incur if you want to have your wedding ring enlarged cannot be predicted across the board. The price charged depends on all kinds of factors, such as the type and material of the ring, the extent of the enlargement and, of course, the jeweler himself.
Rely on the help of a specialist
Even if you can find many instructions online on how to enlarge your wedding ring yourself, you should keep your hands off it if you care about your piece of jewelry. It would be a shame to damage the symbol of your love just to save some money. We advise you to always consult a professional if you want to have your ring enlarged. In most cases, the costs are manageable and you will get your wedding ring back in perfect condition. In addition, a professional jeweler can best assess whether an enlargement is even possible. In rare cases, it is not possible to enlarge a ring at all, in which case the jeweler will advise you to change the size - but don't worry, in most cases a ring can be enlarged without major problems and at low cost.
