Bevilles Resizing Policy
What can be resized by Bevilles
Bevilles offers a resizing service for rings as part of their wider jewellery repair offerings. If you’re unsure whether your ring can be resized, you can bring it to any of their stores for a free evaluation. After examining your piece, they will provide you with a quote before starting any work. This is a great option because you’ll know upfront if resizing is possible and how much it will cost.
The cost of resizing can vary based on the ring’s style, size, and setting. Simple bands tend to be easier and more affordable to resize, while rings with intricate designs or delicate stone settings might require more effort, which could increase the price. Bevilles rings are typically available in size M, while their diamond rings come in sizes L, N, and Q. If your ring doesn’t fall within these standard sizes, resizing might be necessary, and the specific approach will depend on the design and materials of the ring.
The typical timeline for resizing is up to 14 working days, though this may vary depending on the complexity of the work involved. Bevilles ensures transparency by providing a clear quote and an expected completion date before starting any resizing, so you can plan accordingly.
What can’t be resized by Bevilles
Although Bevilles does not specify particular types of rings that cannot be resized, there are some cases where resizing might not be possible. For instance, rings with pavé or channel settings—where stones are embedded into the band—can be tricky to resize without dislodging the stones. Rings made from certain materials, or those that are very thin or fragile, might also be difficult to alter without damaging the structure.
Bevilles also has a strict policy that rings which have been resized, altered, or modified by their team cannot be returned or repaired further. This is likely to protect the structural integrity of the jewellery, as resizing or altering a piece can sometimes weaken it or make it more difficult to adjust in the future.
Other things you should know about Bevilles resizing options
Bevilles’ resizing service is available exclusively in-store. You’ll need to visit one of their physical locations to have your ring evaluated and resized. While you can reach out to their customer service team via email with questions, all evaluations and resizing must happen in-store. This allows their jewellers to properly assess your ring and provide an accurate quote and timeline.
Additionally, the cost of resizing can vary based on the complexity of the job. If your ring has an intricate setting or requires additional work, such as claw repairs or re-tipping, there may be extra charges. Bevilles will always inform you of any additional costs before proceeding, so you won’t face any surprises.
In terms of timelines, most resizing jobs take up to 14 working days. However, if the resizing requires more intricate work, the process could take longer. You’ll be given a clear estimate of how long it will take when you receive your quote, so you can plan ahead, especially if you need the ring for a specific event.
Lastly, it’s important to note that once a ring has been resized by Bevilles, you will not be able to return it or have them repair it again. This policy is in place to ensure the piece isn’t compromised by further alterations, which can affect the ring’s structure and longevity.
Bevilles also offers a wide range of other jewellery services beyond resizing, including chain repairs, polishing, rhodium plating, stone replacements, and re-tipping claws. If your ring or other pieces of jewellery need a little extra care, these services can complement a resizing and help restore the jewellery’s original beauty.
