Most rings can be safely sized up or down one full size, and sometimes more. However, eternity bands and some styles, due to their construction, cannot be sized and will be noted as such. Sizing is complimentary for six months from the date of purchase when sized within the possible ring size range noted or one size up or down from current size. If a ring needs to be sized outside of the the possible ring size range you may incur an additional charge.
When you purchase a ring at Lang Antiques the first sizing is complementary.
Please note the following:
Most rings can be sized up or down one size unless noted and sometimes can be sized more.
Keep in mind that most rings were made to the scale of the size. Large rings are usually too broad across for a small finger and vise versa.
Feel free to contact our sizing department to discuss any ring you are considering. Please include your phone number so we can gather information to best size you.
If you provide us with an incorrect size there will be an additional charge for the second sizing.
There are many things to consider when sizing a ring:
The process is similar to fitting a tailored suit or an intricate wedding dress
The metal (platinum or gold and the karat of gold)
The method of manufacture
The size it needs to be and whether we are sizing up or down
Shape of fingers - tapered or larger knuckles
Fingers swell and change size over the course of the day, after eating salty food or on a hot day
The Process:
We have a team of highly skilled jewelers who specialize in restoration of antique and period jewelry who are experts at sizing.
How long does it take? Sizing a ring takes 10 working days plus or minus.
When a ring is made larger we typically cut the base of the shank and add metal. We quality control all our sizings with a microscope and you should not be able to see where it was done.
When a ring is made smaller a piece of metal is cut from the base of the shank where it is then soldered or fused solid again.
We use traditional as well as modern techniques in the process including lasers for platinum welding.
Our Guarantee:
We take great pride in the work our jewelers do and quality control all work with a microscope. If for any reason you have a problem resulting from the work we have done we will correct it.
We do not guarantee work performed by other jewelers.

About Edwardian Jewelry
Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
