Is there a good way to fix a bent ring?

Question

I have several rings that are "out of round" and I would like to fix them without the cost of a jeweler.

Answer 1

Most jewelers I found will fix it for free in just a matter of minutes. I had to do that with my ring multiple times.

Answer 2

Where I live most of the jewelers would straighten a bent ring for free. It's a simple matter of putting the ring on a mandrel and tapping with a leather mallet. Takes about 10 seconds to do one.

Answer 3

I have fixed rings for my wife an daughter that have been bent. I'd take a piece of round metal ,about the size of a pencil and roll the ring while pulling on it. If you have time to go to any quality jewelry store (the Mall is easy),they have a sizing tool that works great. I can't imagine them charging you for that.

Answer 4

The jeweler will fix it for little or nothing. I had a bent ring and he put it on a ring sizer, pounded it with a little mallet and put it back in shape in no time. I have had watches cleaned and the band resized by removing a link or two, for very little money. They clean jewelry for nothing, also.

Answer 5

Please take it to a jeweler. It's one of the perks they do, like cleaning jewelry while you wait. They're hoping you'll browse and maybe buy something either then or in the future. It's good business for them to do both of them for free in hopes of future business.

Answer 6

look in ur tool box and see if u have some kind of round steel rod
if u do, see if ur rings will fit into the rod
then try to reshape

Answer 7

get a progressively-increasing-in-size cone-type tool that some jewelers use to size.
