Ring Sizing
At Jones & Son we perform the finest repair. A ring being
sized at Jones & Son will first be cleaned of any dirt or oils in one of our
many ultrasonic baths followed by a thorough steam cleaning. Then one of our
Master Jewelers will cut the bottom of the ring, or shank. This area of the ring
is first cut and then filed until it is smooth. There are two ways of ring
sizing, and they are sizing up and down. When a ring is sized up a small piece
of precious metal is inserted into an area that is cut open and next a
professional jewelers torch solders the piece into place. Then to size a ring
down you first cut out the piece of desired metal, then file, and simply solder
the piece back into place. Then on both up and down ring sizing our Master
Jewelers then file, sand, and polish the ring thus essentially smoothing the
ring to the original unnoticeable state. We then finish off the process with
cleaning the ring and checking any stones to make sure they are secure in the
mounting and fully inspect the ring before the customer is notified that the
ring is ready.
