A ring that doesn’t fit is a ring you stop wearing. And a ring you stop wearing — especially one that matters — ends up sitting in a drawer instead of on your finger, where it belongs.
At Oxnard Jewelry Repair, we resize rings to fit perfectly, repair damaged settings, rebuild worn prongs, and restore rings that have bent, cracked, or lost stones over years of everyday wear. If you’re searching for ring repair near you in Oxnard, you’ve found the right place.
Resizing a ring is more involved than most people realize. To size a ring up, we add a piece of matching metal to the shank, carefully solder and smooth it so the seam is invisible. To size a ring down, we remove a section and rejoin the ends cleanly. We never simply stretch a ring — stretching weakens the metal and distorts the shape.
After resizing, we inspect the prongs, check the stone for security, and polish the ring to a uniform shine. The whole process typically takes a few hours for standard rings.
Most rings can be resized one to two full sizes in either direction without compromising the integrity of the metal. Some rings with stone-set bands or special alloys have limits — we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible during your free inspection.
For a simple resize in yellow gold or silver, we typically finish the same day. White gold rings that need rhodium plating after resizing may take one additional day. Rings with complex settings or significant damage are given an honest timeline at drop-off.
