You’re constantly keeping us informed, Calla! I’ve seen eternity bands and rings that were almost eternity bands and didn’t know that that was a sizing bar at the back. How small can a sizing bar be?
Hi Alexandra, Sizing eternity bands is challenging. Having an even tiny sizing bar at the back is very helpful. I’d say the smallest one I make is 3mm across. Your Personal Jeweler, Calla

Hi Calla, you mentioned the solid area is cut, so is the sizing bar only useful for sizing down and not up?
If I want to future proof the ring so it can be sized up what are my options?
Hello Numan, The sizing bar future proofs it either way. If you need to go larger you needn’t cut gems and do an incredibly delicate job opening it. If being sized down it makes the work easier as there is access to plain metal. Your Personal Jeweler, Calla
