Where to shrink a ring in Brussels?
Shrinking a classic or adjustable can be done in any jewelry store. However, as soon as your band has more technical characteristics, such as
- a setting in precious stones
- a solitaire
- an engraving
You will need to call on jewelers more qualified.
Also, depending on the size of the reduction to be made, the tools and methods used may differ. For example, to shrink a ring by less than one size, the technique is to make the precious metal malleable then stretch the jewelry. For this, a simple ring mandrel and a mallet are enough. Otherwise, for a reduction of more than one size, it will be necessary to remove a band and rejoin the two parts.

FAQ
Is it possible to enlarge an engagement ring or a wedding band?
Yes. Enlarging an engagement ring or wedding band can be considered after an inspection at the Art’emi workshop. Each piece is evaluated according to its design, metal, and setting to ensure an aesthetic and durable result.
Can a ring be resized multiple times during its life?
Indeed, a ring can be resized multiple times, but this operation must be done carefully. Each resizing works the metal, which can damage the band over time. Before proceeding, the jeweler must examine the thickness of the band and the possible presence of stones that could be damaged during the operation.
If a ring is handled multiple times during its life, certain areas may become more sensitive. In this case, our craftsman will reinforce part of the band to extend the jewelry’s longevity. At Art’emi, we systematically analyze the history and structure of each ring to determine if a new resizing can be done without risk of damaging the jewelry. Our priority is to preserve your jewelry while meeting your expectations.
Up to what limit can a ring be resized without damaging it?
The limit to which a ring can be resized without damaging it depends on its structure and the metal used. As a general rule, we estimate that a ring can be safely resized by one to two sizes. Beyond this threshold, the band could deform or crack, especially if the jewelry is set with stones.
Moreover, very fine jewelry or pieces that have already been resized require more work and sometimes need reinforcement. To resize a ring, our professional craftsman removes part of the metal and resolders the band. This method requires great precision, which is why we recommend calling a professional. At Art’emi, we always start by examining the jewelry to determine the maximum reduction we can guarantee without damaging the band. This way, you can wear your ring without fear of losing it.
