Most jewelers won't touch an Aggie Ring. Here is how you can get it done:

If anyone works on your ring other than Balfour, it voids your warranty. Not worth it.badbilly said:

Pretty sure when I did this several years ago they just made me a new ring in the bigger size. Either that or they somehow got all the nicks and dents out of the old one.
Anyway, take advantage of Balfour's service.

As mentioned above, take it to the Aggie Ring Office. They'll take care of it.
I believe you are correct. You don't get back your original ring. They throw it in the hopper with other rings, melt down and make new.
depends on the amount of wear, and how many sizes up/down you are needing.gettingitdone said:
