The techniques can be determined by different factors – material type, adjustment size, and whether the ring will become smaller or larger.
One of the resizing methods is soldering, when a jeweler removes or adds a small portion of the band, reshapes the ring, then uses a torch to close the gap. Jewelers mask the alteration by creating nearly invisible welds and polishing the ring band.

Simple rings, like wedding bands, can be altered slightly by stretching or compressing the metal of the ring shank.
