Blue Nile Resizing Policy
When you purchase a ring from Blue Nile, you want it to fit perfectly. Here’s what you need to know about Blue Nile’s resizing policy to ensure your ring is the right size.
What Can Be Resized by Blue Nile
Blue Nile offers complimentary resizing for most engagement rings and wedding bands within the manufacturer’s recommended sizing range during the first year after purchase. This service ensures that your ring fits perfectly without any additional cost within this period. The resizing process involves adding or removing small amounts of metal to adjust the size. Although these changes are often visually imperceptible, your ring might become slightly thicker or thinner.
After resizing, Blue Nile’s expert jewelers clean and polish the ring, ensuring it looks as beautiful as when you first received it. For those who might need more assistance, Blue Nile provides free ring sizers to help determine the right fit. You can use their plastic ring sizer or printable ring size chart, which can be ordered or downloaded from their website.
What Can’t Be Resized by Blue Nile
Certain ring styles cannot be resized due to their design. Diamond and gemstone eternity rings, for example, have a fixed number of stones per size, making resizing impractical. Milgrain or ornate bands also fall into this category because the intricate designs can be damaged during resizing. Rings made of alternative metals, like tungsten, are too hard to resize, and silver rings can be weakened by the process, making them less durable.
If your ring falls into one of these categories, Blue Nile offers a 30-day exchange policy. You can exchange your ring for another in the correct size. However, keep in mind that the new ring may have differences in the number of gemstones or the weight of the precious metal, which could affect the price.
Other Things You Should Know About Blue Nile’s Resizing Options
Blue Nile provides one free resizing for most engagement rings and wedding bands within the first year of purchase. If you need additional resizing after this period or for rings not covered under the free resizing policy, there may be a fee. Blue Nile offers free shipping for resizing services, including insured shipping both ways, ensuring your valuable ring is protected throughout the process.
Although Blue Nile operates primarily online, they offer virtual appointments to assist with sizing. Most resizing services are handled through mail-in processes. If you prefer in-person service, you might need to visit one of their few physical locations or seek assistance from local jewelers.
Resizing your ring with Blue Nile is designed to be as seamless and stress-free as possible. If you ever need to resize your ring, their support team is available to guide you through the process, ensuring you get the perfect fit.
