Don’t Wait to Resize Your Ring. It Could Save Your Finger.
Is Your Ring Too Small?
Chances are, if you’re like most people, you have a ring that does not fit you anymore. Many things can cause a ring to stop fitting. When the weather is hot, your hands might start to swell and your rings suddenly can’t fit over your knuckle.
The same can be true if you’ve been wearing a wedding band for decades (kudos!) and it no longer easily slides off. Weight gain or loss, change of season, a misjudged initial purchase size (we’ve all gotten gifts that don’t fit) – regardless of why your ring is the wrong size, the most important thing is to make sure your ring can safely come off your finger.
Beyond the annoyance of a ring that doesn’t fit quite right, the consequences might be worse than you think. Wearing a too-tight ring is more than just uncomfortable…it can also be dangerous.
A ring avulsion is a serious injury that occurs when a ring is removed too quickly or forcefully from a finger. Ring avulsions are rare, but they can be incredibly harmful, causing nerve damage, and in the worst scenarios, amputation.

If your ring is too tight and can’t be removed easily in an accident – like in the case of comedian Jimmy Fallon, where he fell in his kitchen, his ring caught the countertop, and he nearly lost his finger – the ring’s immovability could cause a lot of preventable damage to your hand.
Fallon ended up in the intensive care unit for ten days and had to postpone his nightly show for two weeks.
The good news is that if you have a ring that doesn’t fit, you can resize your ring.
How Ring Resizing Helped Christine Preserve Her Memories
Like many people, Christine had a ring that meant a lot to her. It was a gorgeous, rare, blue diamond, gifted to her by her husband after a few difficult years. The story behind it is just as beautiful as the ring itself: her husband took her back to the front of the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, where he had first proposed to her, and gave her this ring.
“…and with two kids at our side he got on one knee and asked for my hand and heart forever and always,” Christine said. “He gave me the big, blue diamond with its tension/cathedral setting as a gift of rebirth and renewed love. Our lovely moment was interrupted by one of our lovely children telling us they were hungry and we needed to move on — enough mushy love stuff for the day!”
Years later, she found that her ring no longer fit. Like many other people often find, her ring was too snug on her finger. With a story so special and a stone so beautiful, it would be a shame not to be able to wear this jewelry with all its symbolism of love and renewal.
Christine searched locally for places to get her ring repaired, but was disappointed to learn that most services were very expensive. After searching online, Christine found Quick Jewelry Repairs and sent them a photo of the ring. Once she heard back from their customer service team, she realized how seamless the process was. She didn’t have to find a local place after all – she learned she could ship her ring to Quick Jewelry Repairs headquarters in New York City to be repaired and it would safely return to her. So she printed out a prepaid shipping label and mailed in her ring for repair.
Quick Jewelry Repairs was thrilled to help. The team received the ring and saw that the solution was simple – they resized Christine’s ring from a 5.5 to a 7 to make sure that her ring fit safely and comfortably. True to their name, the team quickly got the ring in tip-top shape and sent it back to Christine in the mail shortly after.
Now, Christine can wear her love story around her finger every day.
