Silly question - any jewelers in the house?
How much does it cost to get a ring sized smaller. I have lost almost 40 pounds and my rings are all loosey goosey on me now.

1. Depending on the ring (metal type and thickness of band),
it shouldn't be more than $50, and for most women's rings, $15-$35.

2. I paid $15 not too long ago.
I'm not a jeweler, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :D

Congratulations on the weight loss! :bounce: :woohoo: :yourock:

3. some settings can't be reduced (channel set, for example)
Get a pair of shots put in the shank. They are like little round balls that a jeweler can solder inside the shank that'll keep it from spinning and yet you'll be able to get it over your knuckle. This should be able to be done without removing the diamond. However if your ring is platinum, platinum requires alot of heat and depending on how close the diamond is to the flame it may require removal.
