Yes, a chain bracelet can generally be resized.
Jewelers can adjust the length of chain bracelets by either removing links to make them shorter or adding links to make them longer. The process typically involves:
- Shortening: A jeweler will use pliers to carefully open the jump rings connecting the links, remove the necessary number of links, and then reattach the clasp.
- Lengthening: Adding links to a chain bracelet can be more complicated, as matching the existing metal and style is important. A jeweler might use similar links from their inventory or order custom links to ensure a seamless look. Depending on the bracelet design, they may also add a small extension chain.
It is recommended to have a professional jeweler resize your chain bracelet to ensure the resizing is done correctly and without damaging the bracelet.
