How to resize a piece without damaging it
Most jewelers will resize your piece. Most jewelers will also wreck the plating.

If you're thinking of resizing a plated piece — stop. Resizing involves heat, and heat strips plating in seconds.
What to do instead:
Bracelets / chains
Most have an extender at the clasp. Move it up two links.
Rings
For plated rings, do not resize. Order the next size up. We exchange for free if the original is unworn.
Solid gold rings
Resizing is fine. Take it to a jeweler who works in solid gold (not a chain mall jeweler). The cost is usually $30-60.
