Moreover, how much does it cost to get a ring reshaped?

A jeweler can do the work in as little as two hours, though it may take up to a month if the ring has an intricate setting. A simple resize costs from $20 to $60, depending on the type of metal and region of the country. For a more complex resizing, the cost ranges from $50 to $150.

Secondly, why do rings change shape? The main reason most rings bend is exerted physical pressure, usually when you are doing some work while wearing your ring. It is worth noting that rings made of softer metals, such as yellow gold, are more likely to get deformed. Such rings also wear down more easily with time and become thinner faster.

Beside above, can a jeweler reshape a ring?

A bent platinum ring or tungsten or titanium ring can be fixed as well. Jewelers will use the mandrel to reshape the ring as much as possible. Often, they will then have to file and smooth the ring out just to remove any hammer marks, scratches or dings in the metal. Platinum takes twice as long to fix as gold does.

How can I fix my ring shape?

Sometimes a ring can be unbent by placing the ring on a mandrel and gently tapping it with a jeweler’s hammer or by pushing it into place until it takes its original shape. Heat can be applied to soften the metal and make the ring easier to reshape. A ring mandrel is a graduated rod used for ring sizing and repairs.
