    i don't know of anyone who'd do it that quickly. you'd be better of getting it done right rather than rushing it! will the shop you bought it in not do it for you?

    The shop my wife's ring was bought in were able to resize it in a few hours, though there should be no problems leaving it overnight somewhere?

    I recieved a jewelley set from my Fiance that came from Istanbul. I was thrilled as it contained a necklace, braclet, earrings and most importantly my engagement ring!! I looked at the ring and discovered I had a HUGE problem as it was 7 YES 7 sizes too BIG!!! actually 7 1/2 sizes too big!! I knew I would have severe trouble as the ring had to be resized from size Q to i 1/2.

    To add even more complications the ring is very intricate with 8 flowers and 13 tiny diamonds.

    I talked to 5 Goldsmiths in Dublin and explained my problem and the fun started....

    This is very important ladies as I cannot emphasise enough how freaked out I was that the ring would need to be returned.

    1st goldsmith looked at it and said it's impossible to resize the ring down 7 sizes the stones will pop out and need to be reset and we can never guarantee in future the stones will stay put after resetting them.

    2nd Goldsmith on Fade steet said it can be done but the stones will pop out as the ring is resized down it will be a huge risk to the ring.

    3rd Goldsmith (Rocks on graffon) said the ring will end up an oval shape

    4th Goldsmith (small place on Dawson) said the ring will snap in half if I touch it as it needs to come down 7 sizes.

    5th Goldsmith said NO PROBLEM!! Easy!! come back for it in two hours he had it done perfectly at a cost of forty euros. The ring is still a perfect cirlce no marks where it was resized and fits like a dream!!!

    The genius GOLDSMITH is on Dawson street in Dawson street jewellers(Big place does watch repairs) please please go there if you need your ring resized as he is just brilliant and very fast. The people that work there are extremely helpful and very matter of fact about what they can do.

    I am the happiest girl in the world right now :-)

    My ring is 18k white and yellow gold 8 flowers and 13 tiny diamond as I say a very intricate ring and a difficult job as usually a ring can only be resized down about 2 sizes this was 7 sizes no stones popped out no lines where it
    was cut he is a genius goldsmith..

    I really hope this helps other women....
