Ring resizing demand rises sharply after the holiday proposal peak

February brings a predictable jump in resizing requests, as rings bought as a surprise over the holidays turn out to need adjusting once they're actually worn.

• A ring bought without the wearer's exact size, common for a surprise proposal, is more likely to need resizing than one bought with a confirmed measurement.
• Most resizing requests move within one size in either direction, which is straightforward on most metals; larger adjustments can affect a pavé or eternity setting's stones.
• Booking a resize early in February avoids the backlog that builds as more requests land at once.
