Resizing a Celtic Ring

6/10/2017

This week I was asked by a friend to size down a large mans, celtic weave ring.
It was an interesting task because only whole sections of the pattern could be removed.
I started by removing a single section of pattern, but this did not reduce the size enough.

So I had to remove another section but, unsurprisingly, this made it too small.

The only solution (that I could think of) was to solder up the ring and then stretch it to the correct size using the ring expander/reducer machine.

I admit I stretched the ring up rather too many sizes than I probably should have.  However it was not difficult and I suspect that this was due to the fact that it was not a solid piece of metal.

Edit - The finished ring was returned to the customer and I later got this message:
"Just to let you know, it fits him just right.
Thank you xxx"
