Julie had bought a diamond engagement ring from another store and had them resize it. She brought it in to us because the store that resized it said they could not make it better. Wearing the ring was very uncomfortable.

After taking a look at the ring we noticed that it was oval in shape. The ring looked like the bottom of it was just flattened and the sides of the ring bothered the fingers next to the ring. It looked uncomfortable.

In Hawaii people on average are smaller and ring sizes average about a size 5. Most rings are made in a standard size 6-7. Julie was a 4 1/2.

The ring was made oval because of the diamonds set on the side of the center diamond. Resizing the ring smaller would sometimes loosen the diamonds and they would fall out. The jeweler that originally resized it did not want to deal with the side diamonds and did not work on resizing it properly.

Our jeweler was able to make the ring round and re-tighten the diamonds on the side.

It is now comfortable, beautiful and appreciated. All is well in the world.
