Fittings & Resizing
A Perfect Match
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Getting the correct ring size is more of an art than a science. I wrote more about this here. There is no governing body that standardizes ring sizes in the US so sizing can be inconsistent from place to place. Therefore, I do offer a fitting service for $38 for one ring or $58 for a set.

Getting it right the first time
With a fitting, I can send you a band in the size and dimensions requested to try on before any finishing or stones are set. You can then wear it for a few days and even sleep in it. Then, if you want the band adjusted, I can do that up to 1/2 size at no further charge. A return shipping label is included as part of the service.
Please note that I do not make money on a fitting service; I offer it because I feel that it creates less stress and the best customer experience.
Fittings are completely optional, however, please be aware that I will make the ring in the size requested and without a fitting, I cannot guarantee the ring will fit you perfectly, thus there would be a charge to resize if necessary. Cost of resizing varies based on the complexity of the design and the extent of change between the original and new size. For most rings, it is easier to resize up than down.
Wide bands - 9mm and up
Wider rings often take a half size or more than your regular ring size. How much extra depends on the shape of one’s finger and individual preferences for how a band feels. I will make the ring to your specifications, and while rings can be resized locally or by me, wide bands are trickier to fit and to resize. It’s always best to get the right fit the first time, therefore, I highly recommend you consider a fitting for wide bands.
If you are an international customer, get in touch and we can discuss other ways to get your ring fitting just right.
If you are ordering internationally, I ask that you use an online chart to convert your ring size to a US size as there are no perfect conversions and you know best if you want to err up or down.
I take sizes in 1/4 size increments (so no 1/8 sizes) and please know there may be an additional materials or labor fee for larger sizes.
I often use these two, but none are definitive so be sure to compare a few: ring sizes and wikipedia.

Please Note
You don’t have to send your rings to me to be resized. Most rings can be easily resized locally which some folks find more convenient.
If you prefer I resize your ring, note that it is in general easier to size up than down. If you want to contact me about your specific ring and get pricing on my sizing services first, just get in touch.
Please be aware that I am not a traditional jeweler. I am a designer/maker and do not do general maintenance and repair, and I do not resize or repair other jewelers’ work.
Please Note
You don’t have to send your rings to me to be resized. Most rings can be easily resized locally. Many places specialize in repair and maintenance which is what resizing really falls under. While I can do some limited resizing, I am more of a maker/designer and while it may not seem obvious, making a ring from scratch is actually quite different than resizing it and requires different tools and skills.
As I’m only one person doing everything, I’ve opted to focus on the design and creation of the rings, which is what I do best.
