If you have a gold ring sized smaller, does it lose value?
Yes it does because it has less gold in it. Unfortunately this usually won't get you a discount which is bum for people with teeny tiny fingers like me.

1) if you have it made smaller, the ring will lose a small amount of metal..... in pure weght/money terms, the ring will lose some *small* amount of value.
2) If the ring is an antique, it will lose value by being altered, because it is no longer in its original state. - if the ring was *very* rare to begin with, this could be an appreciable amount
3) in most normal circumstances, the alteration will have very little impact on its value
Maria- Grazia
yes but if you add the excess gold to make it thicker the value will stay the same

I wouldn't have thought so but maybe if a prospective buyer has an even smaller finger he wouldn't be a good idea to resize it again. My jeweller told me that it should only be done once as it weakens the ring.
violett
yes, because they have to cut some gold away
Jackie
probably is gold is priced by weight. Just depends on who makes it smaller and if they remove any gold so ask...
Lori
Maybe because of the weight.
Gypsy Gal
No, why should that matter???

The amount taken out is too minimal to change the value of the ring.

not at all its a good thing cos all rings are toobig for my fingers

when jewellers make rings smaller they very rarely cut into it. That's only necessary to make it bigger, when they use an insert. To make it smaller, they use a bridge - a small piece of metal which fits inside to make it a bit smaller. So no it won't affect the value.
