hello, on behalf of expert village, my nameis joe maughan. i own the vug, local jewelry store in salt lake city, and i'm going todemonstrate on how to easily size a ring up just by simply stretching it. the basic conceptis you've got a ring, any metal ring silver or gold, put it on a mandrel. this ring isshowing approximately six and a half right now. basically you just take a hammer andstretch the back of a ring. generally you can usually stretch a ring up a size or so,depending on the width and the thickness of the ring. that stretched up a half size toa seven. say that's all you need to go, basically after that you would file out the hammer marks,file the sides, cause it does, you know, make the sides roughed up. take a round file andrefinish the inside of the ring. basically
after that it's ready for polishing. afterpolishing that's it.
