Engagement ring resizing

My fiance proposed to me in Paris, I know 🤮 anyway, the engagement ring is gorgeous and I love it, its beautiful however it's too small.

My fiance and I discussed it recently and he said that his mum has offered to pay for it, I said no we need to do it.

AIBU?

You need to do what? Usually the jewellers it was bought from will re-size for free, why is this not possible?

What Sanch said.

Although more than about 2 sizes can weaken the claws that hold the stones.

None of you are being unreasonable, she’s made a kind offer, I assume you’ve said something along the lines of thanks very much for offering but we’ve got it covered. I don’t see what the issue is, unless she is offended you’ve turned her down or something.

Congratulations!

My jeweler said they would resize for free (though would prefer I sized down rather than up as it's apparently easier to make it bigger).

Check with the jeweler first before decided who should pay.

Our jeweller did it for free... both times.

The first time he'd written the size in a very floral style, so what looked like a very dainty "K" was in fact a very sausage-fingered "R". Unfortunately, in making it smaller (the first time), it meant the hallmarks were lost which was a shame is it's Victorian.

Presumably wherever he bought it from should do it?

Anyway, congratulations!!

What a lovely post, nice sick face next to the marriage proposal. Ring to small, your future mil has offered to pay and that’s someone wrong too.

She’s made a kind offer to pay so if for whatever reason (not that I see what it is? ) you don’t want her too then just say “Thanks for the offer mil but we’ve got the money covered”

It's fairly easy to make a ring a size or two bigger and it takes a few minutes. My silversmith brother does mine for me :) making them smaller is the bitch, then you're talking about cutting metal out.

Thank you, the 🤮 face was a little bit of sarcasm as it obviously a cliché getting engaged in Paris. I love this man with all my heart.

Thank you for the replies, he got the ring via family, I was just wondering because it struck me as odd, I can't explain why though.

I will sit down with him and look at all our options. Thank you FlowersSmile
