I have resized a platinium ring, once size up. The initial weight was 5. Is it normal?

Ask the jeweler what was done during the upsizing of the ring that caused the reduction in weight of the ring.
Thank you for your answer. It is difficult to add back the platinum because the whole shape would be different. It would make sense depending on the design of your ring. About a year ago, I had my wedding ring classic with 5 diamonds across set in platinum on a gold band resized up about a size. There was no discussion of the method of resizing, they just measured me for my proper new size.
I had not been able to wear the ring for some years. I have never ever seen a ring so thin at the back the palm side. However, I assumed that they must know what they were doing as they are so reputable and was delighted to get my ring back and wear it finally, so I did not complain. Here I am a year later and the ring started getting rougher and rougher at the bottom middle, finally upon inspection I saw it was starting to break and now it has actually broken completely at the thinnest part at the back or bottom middle palm side.
I am really disappointed. When I brought my ring to be sized up, I just assumed they would cut and add gold for it to fit me. I never thought they would just stretch it out to the point of being thin enough to break.
This is a reputable local jeweler, although I have been reading complaints online lately. I called and let them know my problem and the owner himself called me back and was a bit annoyed, asking me why I did not complain at the time I picked it up. I told him I was not a complainer but had been shocked at the thinness of the ring, but assumed they had done a good job because of their reputation — afterall, I know little to nothing about resizing rings except what I just read here — they are the experts I trusted.
I also was happy just to get my ring back wearable. He insists on a personal meeting with me, so I hope to resolve it. I am just sad and disappointed. Carrie, these things do happen from time to time as consumers may not fully understand what happens to a ring during resizing. Look on the bright side; the jeweler wants to talk and I think they are trying to make things right. So, go to the meeting with an open mind and I think things will work out eventually. I purchased a ring made to order.
When we asked for the ring to be remade we were advised they would resize it and have it back in a week — Ignoring our request to have it remade correctly. The ring has diamonds half way around each side with a setting on top. It has been 6 months, the band has stretched a considerable amount and a diamond fell out of the band.
When i took it back to the shop they sent it off to the jeweler who completes the work. Band is 18 carat white gold with round brilliant diamonds on the band. I am so disappointed they would not remake the ring in the first place and now fear this can happen again. Getting a refund outright from the start if you suspected workmanship issues should have been the right thing.
Diamonds can fall out of their bands for all types of reasons and resizing could be one of them. I was told at the local jewelry shop that platinum is hard to resize compare to white gold…pls help- thank you in advance :.
My advice is to plan ahead and buy exactly what you want in the long term. Upgrading from one material to another material is really unnecessary it it complicates things. Your jeweler is feeding you bullshit. Platinum is not hard to resize. Aside from preventing allergic reactions and a denser weight, there are practically no other benefits of paying for a platinum wedding ring.
It has a 1. One of the diamonds had fallen out and some of the others were loose. Now the jeweler wants us to pay to have it resized. We said we would wait a few days to see if it was simply a swollen finger. Should we be suspicious? Would a jeweler use 14kt white gold from a ring for resetting diamonds…. Theoretically speaking, repairing a fallen out diamond should have zero effect on sizing as they are completely separate issues.
Examine the setting at the repair area to see if you can see anything out of the norm. Hi Paul, I recently bought an engagement ring for my girlfriend. I could not get her ring size after trying various tricks here and there without giving it away. I ended up guessing a size 6 but suspect it might be a tad too big.

May be this time it will come back to loose. I am also worried about the integrity of the ring. I am planning to take my ring to another jeweler and get their professional opinion but I would also like to hear what you have to say.

The ring came back definitely lighter than it was. Did they steal my silver? Is that a thing? It was resized twice. Once for an increase of 0. Each time it was lighter and lighter.
Now it weights just like a cheap titanium china skull ring. The best thing to do is to ask what happened during the resizing the ring. If they had to touch up or rebuff the ring to restore its luster, the repolishing process actually removes material from the ring.
And just to be clear, silver is not expensive. No jeweler in the right mind would want to steal a small amount of silver and jeopardize their reputation in doing so. Found this page by googling. I just recently found my class ring and I believe previously I may have taken it to be sized up a tiny bit, but nothing dramatic.
Are class rings able to be sized down as well? Depending on the material it was made with and the design, resizing may be a breeze or result in complications.

I contacted the jeweler who insisted that platinum is very mailable and less durable than gold, and therefore prone to bending. Is this normal for my type of ring? Thanks in advance for your help! The out of round shape you are describing is not a sign of a proper rework.

Can a stainless band with continuous diamonds and sapphires around it be stretched? Stainless steel rings are notoriously hard to resize because of their incredibly tough alloys and hardness. A jeweler must be equipped with the right equipment in order for them to perform any alterations. The other part of increasing the size of a ring is in the design details.
If it is a flat, plain stainless steel ring, it would be more likely to work out compared to if it had intricate designs like carvings and motiffs. Thank you!
