You love your ring, but there's just one problem: The size isn't quite right. Whether it's a brand-new engagement ring or a wedding band you've proudly worn for years, you deserve a perfect fit. Here's when to consider resizing a ring that feels too tight or loose.
Your ring is too loose or too tight
When you slip on your ring, it should feel secure but comfortable. If you experience discomfort, that's a clear sign it's time to resize. A ring shouldn't squeeze your finger or slip off too easily. But how do you know if the problem is serious enough for a professional resizing? Here are some red flags.
