Now it&#8217;s probably closer to <strong>$50-$75<\/strong>&#8230; And that&#8217;s <strong>per ring size!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nYep, if it goes up 4 sizes, that&#8217;s a <strong>couple of hundred dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Insane?<\/strong> Yes! But when you factor in the cost of gold, plus <strong>the cost of a good jeweler<\/strong> (Which is a talented trade that takes years to master), you&#8217;ll see that it&#8217;s not cheap. I&#8217;ve seen <strong>prices double<\/strong> in just the last 12 years.<\/p>\n<p><h2>So get these sizings for FREE!<\/h2>\n<p>\nUse the ring sizing as <strong>a bargaining chip.<\/strong> You see most jewelers will offer you the first sizing (that&#8217;s usually only up to <strong>2 sizes though<\/strong>) for free anyways. But that&#8217;s only <strong>if you bought the rings from them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt doesn&#8217;t help you if you have <strike>fat<\/strike> healthy fingers or <strong>need a size 14<\/strong>. Anything in a size 9 for ladies and a size 13 for men <strong>is considered large<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>You&#8217;ll be paying big bucks for those sizings.<\/h2>\n<p>\nSo when you&#8217;re <strong>working out a ring sale<\/strong> with the jeweler, always bring that up. Say &#8220;<strong>Does that price include the ring sizing?<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nMost salespeople will jump at the opportunity and say &#8220;<strong>Yes!<\/strong>&#8221; It&#8217;s almost flawless. Keep in mind, some jewelers only offer those 2 free ring sizes for regularly sale priced merchandise, <strong>not closeouts or blue-light specials.<\/strong> They offer no free sizings for those deals and may even <strong>charge you extra<\/strong> for them.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo always try to get the jeweler to toss in the <strong>ring sizings for free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Use the ESP:<\/h2>\n<p>\nOne of the best ways to get free ring sizings is to buy a <strong>jewelry extended service plan<\/strong> (E.S.P.) at the time of purchase. <\/p>\n<p>\nE.S.P. plans will <strong>cover the cost <\/strong>of sizings. Most will cover them for a lifetime of free sizings, and <strong>that&#8217;s a lot of money saved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd, if you&#8217;re a really smooth talker, sometimes you can get the jeweler to <strong>throw in the E.S.P. for free as well! <\/strong>If you&#8217;re spending thousands on a diamond engagement ring, little things like that can<strong> help sweeten the deal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Trade towards a sizing:<\/h2>\n<p>\nAnd the last thing you can do to get a free ring sizing, is to <strong>trade in some scrap gold<\/strong> towards it.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Really!<\/strong> Lots of people have left over scrap pieces and parts of jewelry that&#8217;s either <strong>bent or broken<\/strong>, missing stones, <strong>squished <\/strong>or just plain old or ugly.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Give these scraps to the jeweler<\/strong>. Have them weight the gold and use the value <strong>towards your ring sizing<\/strong>. Exchanging scrap gold for jewelry repairs is a smart thing to do. <strong>Sell your junk jewelry for cash.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nSee, now you know. Wheeling and dealing is <strong>a great way<\/strong> to get a <strong>free ring sizings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ring sizings are not cheap.
