White-Gold Ring Sizing Done Right

White gold is an alloy of gold mixed with metals such as palladium or nickel, then coated in rhodium for its bright finish. During resizing, the jeweller cuts the band, adds or removes metal, solders the join, and refinishes the surface, including a fresh rhodium plate to restore the uniform white colour.

Rhodium plating is the thin, highly reflective coating applied to white-gold rings that gives them their bright, silvery-white appearance. It wears down over time with daily use, and resizing disrupts it at the work area, so replating after every resize is essential to keep the ring looking consistent and new.

Most white-gold rings can be resized by one to two full sizes in either direction without compromising the ring's structure or stone settings. Rings with stones set all the way around, such as eternity bands, are more limited, and our team will advise you honestly on what's achievable for your specific ring.

Rhodium plating on white-gold rings typically lasts one to three years with regular wear, depending on your lifestyle and skin chemistry. We recommend bringing your ring in for a replating check every year or two, and always after any resize, to keep it looking its brightest.
