<p>This question seems so foolish to me that I want to run it by “friends” who can’t laugh in my face before I go into a jewelry store and GET laughed at!!! </p>
<p>My D came across a ring that was her Grandma’s that she loves. I’m pretty darn sure it’s just costume jewelry - maybe even Avon type jewelry cause she did buy a lot of that. It is not adjustable but it is too small for D. Can a jewelry store do anything to a “cheap” ring to make it fit my D??? </p>
<p>I know she would love to have it and wear it but I would be SO embarrassed to walk into a jewelry store and ask without some knowledge first!!!</p>
<p>I’m bookmarking this. I would love to wear some of my grandma’s “cheap” jewelry but it’s all too big. I wear them on necklaces when they don’t fit so I’d like to know the answer, too :)</p>
<p>Don’t be embarrassed. Go in with your head held high and tell the jeweler the ring has a great sentimental value and your daughter wants to wear it to honor her grandmother. I’m sure you wouldn’t be the first one to do this and no jeweler who wants business would make fun of you.</p>
<p>I think it’s so sweet that my 15 year old D wants to wear her Grandmother’s ring who died when I was pregnant with her - it would just be special to make this happen.</p>
<p>romani, the solution to your problem is readily available–just google ring adjusters. Making a small ring is bigger if it’s not made of platinum, gold or sterling is, in my experience, not really possible, but perhaps jewelers have come up with a new solution of which I am unaware.</p>
<p>Then there’s the very fancy jewelry store in town that I use for such exotica as cleaning my diamond ring, replacing my watch battery, replacing my watch strap . . . . I went in once with a “gold and aquamarine stone” brooch that had been my mother’s. Their comment: “Would you be really upset if we told you this is colored glass?” Oh well. They still welcome me as a customer!!</p>
