Ring size increase. Important facts and nuances: how to roll out a ring at home

The reason for this action may be due to the wrong choice of the size of the jewelry. Perhaps someone simply did not know the size and could not find the right ring. It happens that the hand has recovered or, conversely, at the time of purchase it was swollen, swollen, and then lost weight. But is it difficult to fit the product in size? And what is the best way to do it?

Simple and safe option with boring

It is quite possible to increase the size of a ring with a stone in the simplest and safest way - through boring the product. This procedure involves sawing out the inner layer of the shank. It allows you to enlarge your ring by about half the size. The method is ideal for products with decorative and precious stones that have a wide shank.

The process is usually performed using a special machine with a lock. It is not suitable for rings that are too thin. Only for wide. Takes approximately 10-30 minutes. However, this method has its downsides. Due to the use of rolling or boring, the thickness of the shank will decrease. It will become thinner than its original thickness.

Increasing the size by rolling

There is another simple option that allows you to increase the size of a wedding ring or any other product. It means rolling metal. It is performed using special equipment, a machine. As in the case of boring, it is necessary to narrow the shank of the ring. In this case, it will also become narrower, and the size of the ring itself will increase.

Metal inserts

To increase the size of the ring, you can use inserts made of a suitable metal. In the process of work, the master carefully cuts the shank from below (in the place where it touches the finger). And then he begins to push it as far as it will be necessary to increase the decoration in size. For example, if you need to increase the product by one size, you need to expand it by about 3.14 mm.

The resulting space is covered with a small piece of metal, completely suitable in terms of parameters and appearance to the ring itself. At the same time, the joints are treated not only with a laser, but also with fire. To give the decoration a natural shine, it is necessary to immerse it in a solution with boric acid. After that, you won’t even be able to distinguish where the original metal patch is located, and where the factory shank begins.

The type of soldering directly depends on the existing shape of the stone on the product. It is possible to increase the size of the ring by soldering an insert made of identical metal in at least an hour. Sometimes it takes more time to process a product.

Using the Pinocchio tool

To increase the size of a piece of jewelry, an apparatus called "Pinocchio" is often used. During the procedure, they usually put a ring on it and begin to stretch it due to an increase in the size of the cone. However, before increasing the size of the ring with Pinocchio, it is necessary to heat the product. Otherwise, you risk tearing the jewelry or deforming it.

According to experts, this option is perfect for working with wedding rings and products of the most ordinary rounded shape. On average, such work does not take more than 25-30 minutes.

The use of mechanical stretching of metal

Answering the question of whether it is possible to increase the size of the ring, one cannot but recall the method of mechanical stretching of the metal. However, the method is not suitable for products with complex decorative patterns. The presence of a small stone in this case is allowed. The ring itself should also not be too wide. Its approximate thickness should not be more than 10 mm.

In the process of work, the master usually performs calculations, determines the size. After that, he rotates the fixed decoration on a special crossbar and heats it up. Thus, he manages to achieve suitable dimensions of the product. At the end of the procedure, it is necessary to eliminate roughness and uneven areas of the tavern. To do this, it is cleaned and polished.

Making a metal insert without sawing

In the course of work, the master uses an additional metal plate made of a similar metal. Or instead of it, he uses an additional ring inserted inside your product. This method, according to jewelers, is considered the most expensive. However, it does not have any physical effect on the main decoration. All resizing work is carried out with the used internal inserts. As a result, it is not the ring itself that changes, but its inner diameter.

How to increase the size of the ring at home

Changing the size of a product is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Therefore, in most cases, experts recommend not even trying. There is a huge risk that you will spoil the product. In such cases, it is best to contact specialists.

However, if you are still determined, you will need the following tools to get the job done:

Special bolt.
Gas-burner.
Small rubber mallet.

But keep in mind that having all these tools does not give any guarantee that you will succeed. First you need to take the ring and clamp it, for example, in pliers or round nose pliers. Then you need to turn on the burner and heat the product to a characteristic red color. Next, leave the decoration for a few minutes to cool down a bit. And when it is slightly warm, it remains to insert it into the crossbar and start rolling.

What products can be rolled

Before rolling, please note that not all products can be processed in this way. For example, you cannot use rolling for rings with rotating inserts. You should not try this method for bimetallic products. It is not recommended to roll out and in the presence of inscriptions, engravings and drawings.

If your rings contain stones, they must be carefully removed before the procedure. Otherwise, when the ring is stretched, they may leave their “nests” and jump out. At the end of the work, you can return the stones back and fix them securely, using round nose pliers, for example.

Be careful!

Be careful! Lest the phrase "The miser pays twice" apply to you, don't skimp. If you have a product that is not suitable in size, but is very expensive for you, give it to professionals. Let the work cost money, but it will preserve the appearance of your jewelry.

Increasing the size of wedding rings. To do this, either use a mechanical stretch on the crossbar, or insert a piece of metal of the same sample from which the main product is made. Mechanical stretching (by 2-3 sizes) lends itself well to wedding rings up to 7-8 mm wide, somewhat worse - 9-12 mm wide, as well as rings such as "signet", "belt", etc.
The increase in the size of the engagement ring mechanically is carried out according to the following technology. The jeweler checks with a ring gauge or caliper the size of the ring that needs to be enlarged and determines by how much the ring should be enlarged. Then the ring is annealed with a burner flame and, after cooling, put on a crossbar, which is installed in a special stretching machine. A roller is installed in a special clamping handle, corresponding in shape to the profile of the wedding ring. The handle with the roller is pressed with the left hand to the wedding ring located on the crossbar. With the right hand, they begin to rotate the crossbar handle, setting in motion the guide axle and the clamping handle. In this case, with the left hand, it is necessary to apply force to the handle both to press the roller to the ring, and to slowly move it to the right, i.e., to put it on the crossbar.
Having increased the ring to the desired size, it is annealed, bleached, washed, wiped dry, and then the ends of the ring are leveled with a file. If there are irregularities on the outer semicircular shape or the inner part of the ring, they are removed with a scraper. After that, the ring is ground and polished on a hair washer using a polishing paste. Then the ring is again polished on a hair washer, which gives it a shine, washed in a soapy solution with the addition of ammonia, and then in warm water, dried and rubbed with suede.
Enlargement of wide wedding rings by inserting a piece of metal is carried out according to the following technology. Check the size of the ring with a ring gauge or caliper and determine how much it needs to be increased. Then cut the shank of the ring with a jigsaw file. The cut ring is annealed, put on a manual crossbar and, using a wooden or textolite hammer, is planted and distributed around the circumference to the required size. Then an insert is made and adjusted, i.e. a piece of metal of the same sample from which the main product is made. This piece in width and thickness should correspond to the size of the shank of the ring.
Before soldering, it is necessary to boil the ring and the insert in boric acid so that the product does not lose its gloss, and then sprinkle the place of soldering with borax. The ring is soldered with solder from the same metal from which the main ring is made. Small pellets (pieces) of solder are applied to the joints and soldered under the action of a burner flame. After soldering, the ring is bleached, dried, and then the soldered piece is processed. With the help of a needle file and a scraper, its profile is adjusted to the profile of the ring shank so that there are no noticeable irregularities (hollows or protrusions). The subsequent finishing of the ring is carried out in the same way as when enlarging the ring mechanically ... this is a technology, but it is not used for faceting and therefore no one will ever give quality guarantees

Enlargement of a ring is a method of changing the size of a piece of gold or silver, mechanically or using other technologies that make it possible to change the inner diameter of the jewelry in the direction of increase.

The specialist determines by what volume the product needs to be increased;
Warms it up on the flame;
Puts on the crossbar and stretches to the desired size;
Annealing, bleaching, washing;
Started polishing and finishing.

Before finishing, the master checks the product for the integrity of the pattern. The insertion process is regulated by the selection of a similar material in terms of color and sample.

Then an additional piece is soldered into it, and the insertion points are carefully processed so that they are less noticeable.

Stretching is most often used to increase the size of wedding rings. Using this technique, you can increase it by several sizes. To begin with, the master takes measurements, then using an ultrasonic cleaner, cleans the product from contamination. Then, with a special burner, the ring is annealed and stretched on the crossbar. At the final stage, the ring is once again cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner and polished.

A metal insert is used to enlarge rings adorned with precious stones. The master initially measures and cleans the ring, after which he cuts the product, while maintaining the brand. Then they insert a metal of the same color and the same sample as the ring itself. Then everything is soldered and aligned. At the final stage, the master eliminates flaws, cleans and polishes the ring.

In order to enlarge the ring using the rolling technique, you need to measure and clean the jewelry, roll out the lower part of the ring to the desired size, give it the correct shape, clean with an ultrasonic cleaner and polish.
