Ring Appraisal After Resizing

February 26th, 2008

Gold Ring Appraisal After Resizing Question:

Hello, My spouse had a ring made for me, without knowing my ring size, and had it made a size 7.

The appraisal was done at that time and the ring weighed 6.7 grams. I had to have it resized down to a size 5.5, it then weighed 6.18 grams.

Practical Jewellery Repair

Price: $22.04

I recently had to have it resized up to a size 6.5 and it still weighs 6.18 grams.

This was all done at the original place of purchase.

This last resize is a bad job as there is a divot and you can see where it was resized, also an emerald has been chipped.

It is a gold band that is (was) fairly thick all the way around with stones only on the top.

How does the change in weight affect my original appraisal if I were to resell the ring?

I’m quite disheartened by the bad resize job and no change in gold weight, is that normal?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. :-)Continue reading Ring Appraisal After Resizing...
