Can a gold ring be too thick to have altered?
I bought my husband a Buckle ring which is slightly too small but my local jewellers told me it is too thick to be stretched. I asked about adding a section to it to make it bigger but he said that can't be done either.
No, its not too thick to be altered, theres always something that can be done.
The reason that the jeweller probably said no is that it may cost more than the ring is worth, or that they dont want the hassle. If it is thick then it will be more difficult(although not impossible) and time-consuming therefore they may think its not worth their while to undertake for the amount of money they could charge you for doing it. If you didnt buy the ring from that particular jeweller then they wont want the responsibility, incase anything goes wrong and they will have to repair it, and deal with an unhappy customer.
Although you may feel it is alot of money, when jewellers are selling items worth 100's and 1000's of pounds every day, then money from repair work is pretty insignificant, and is sometimes seen as a hassle if its not straight-forward.
Try going to another jeweller to ask their opinion, try small independent ones who are more in need of work like this. Or you could even cut out the middleman and find a goldsmith (jewellers usually use outside help from goldsmiths). Again they will be keener to do the work and it will be cheaper as you wont have the jewellers mark up.

Ultimate Flint Collection (Our Man Flint / In Like Flint) $10.01 There's really been only one rival to James Bond: Derek Flint. That's because of James Coburn's special brand of American cool. He's so cool, in fact, that he doesn't care to save the world. That is, until he's personally threatened. He's a true libertarian, with more gadgets and girls than Bond, but with none of his stress or responsibility. In Our Man Flint (1966), he's totally unflappable as he... |

XXX (Widescreen Special Edition) $1.26 Vin Diesel is no James Bond, and he doesn't want to be. That's why XXX announced Diesel as the adrenalin-junkie Bond of the PlayStation generation, copying the Bond formula so shamelessly that this action-packed silliness would be a Bond movie if it starred Pierce Brosnan. Reuniting Diesel with his Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen, XXX has an attitude (if not a brain) all its own, plucking ... |

The Italian Job (Full Screen Edition) $1.36 Though it bears little resemblance to the original 1969 thriller starring Michael Caine, the 2003 remake of The Italian Job stands on its own as a caper comedy that's well above average. The title's a misnomer--this time it's actually a Los Angeles job--but the action's just as exciting as it propels a breezy tale of honor and dishonor among competing thieves. Inheriting Caine's role as ace heist-... |
