    this is meant to use on rings with a thick band so that cutting it doesn't weaken the band. this method is used by professionals to enlarge rings that don't need a drastic sizing. 1 or 2 sizes up is all this is good for any more and you will need to add the metal. the thickness has a lot to do with it, a ring that is too thin will require the metal added no matter if its just 1/4 of a size up.

  • Not to bash man but .... i think you need to go to school...the correct way would be to ADD metal to the band not make it so thin that the customer comes back 3 months later to put a new shank on.

  • Are u rotating as u are pounding? Can this be done on a thick platinum wedding band with mill edge? Can it be done without making pound marks on the ring? It's hard to see the details as the camera could be a lot closer.

  • I'm sorry, but that's the poorest way of sizing up a ring 'professionally'!

  • Cool video. Looks like it shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks to get my ring enlarged 2mm. I wish more people made how to videos of their skills.
