This resizer tool can be used to stretch the band of a ring.
Only for rings that have a circular metal band.
Resizing in this way is not recommended if you need to expand the diameter of the ring by more than 1 full US size (~.8mm)
Instructions:
- Print all parts from plate 1 or 2 depending on the starting size of the ring to enlarge.
- Place the ring on the lowest step that it fits snugly (don't force it)
- Make sure the ring is sitting flush
- Insert the wedge
- Tap the wedge a few times with moderate force
- Start with minor changes. You don't want to make it too big!
- Flip the assembly upside-down and place it in the removal jig
- Insert the removal pin into the hole
- Tap the removal pin with a hammer until the wedge slides out
- Check the fit. If it's still too tight then repeat as needed.
Use at your own risk! I don't want to hear about you breaking grandmas heirloom jewelry!
