Same Day Jewelry Repair, Engagement Ring sizing same day

​Same Day Engagement Ring Sizing in Ambler, PAGetting engaged is exciting. Finding out that your new ring doesn't fit quite right isn't.
If your engagement ring is too big or too small, you may be surprised to learn that you don't necessarily have to leave it with a jeweler for a week or two. At Cash For Old Jewelry in Ambler, PA, we can complete many engagement ring sizings the same day.
In many cases, you can drop your ring off in the morning and have it back on your finger later that day.
How Long Does It Take to Size an Engagement Ring?For a typical engagement ring, sizing can often be completed within a few hours.
The first thing we do is look at the ring. We need to know what metal we're working with, how the ring was constructed, how much the size needs to change and whether there are any gemstones or settings that require special attention.
If everything looks good for a same day sizing, we'll let you know before we begin.
Some rings simply need more time. Antique rings, eternity bands, rings with stones extending around the entire band and certain unusual designs may require a different approach. We don't rush a job when doing so could compromise the ring.
Why Does Ring Sizing Sometimes Take Weeks at Other Jewelry Stores?A lot of jewelry stores don't actually do their repair work at the store.
The ring is taken in, documented, packaged and sent to another location or an outside repair shop. Once the work is finished, it has to make its way back to the store before the customer can pick it up.
That can turn a relatively straightforward ring sizing into a process that takes a week or longer.
We handle many jewelry repairs locally, which allows us to offer much faster turnaround times on jobs that can safely be completed the same day.
We Check More Than the Ring SizeWhen we're working on an engagement ring, we also look at the overall condition of the piece.
We'll check the setting and look for things such as loose stones, damaged or worn prongs and previous repairs that may need attention.
This is especially important with an older or previously worn engagement ring. A ring can look perfectly fine at first glance while having a prong or setting that is beginning to wear.
Once the sizing is complete, the area that was worked on is carefully finished and polished. The goal is simple. The ring should fit properly and the sizing shouldn't be obvious.
What If I Didn't Buy the Ring From You?That's completely fine.
We regularly work on jewelry purchased somewhere else. Your engagement ring may have come from another jewelry store, an online retailer, an estate jeweler or a family member.
We can still inspect it and let you know what it will take to get the fit right.
What Size Should an Engagement Ring Be?An engagement ring should feel secure without being uncomfortably tight.
If it's too loose, the ring may constantly turn on your finger and the center stone can end up facing the palm of your hand. More importantly, a loose ring can slip off without you noticing.
If it's too tight, it can become uncomfortable and difficult to remove.
Finger size also changes slightly throughout the day and with changes in temperature. That's one reason it's helpful to have someone properly measure your finger rather than guessing at the size.
Other Same Day Jewelry RepairsRing sizing is one of the most common repairs we do, but it isn't the only repair that can sometimes be completed the same day.
Depending on what the piece needs, we may also be able to help with chain repairs, broken clasps, loose stones, prong work, cleaning, polishing and other minor jewelry repairs.
Bring the piece in and we'll take a look at it. We'll tell you what it needs, what it will cost and approximately how long the work should take before we get started.
