Cobalt Rings, Able to Resize or No?

Well I have heard a lot of mixed thoughts on this, from jewelers and everyday people alike. Are Cobalt rings able to be resized?? The yes and no answers I’m getting are confusing. And if so, what jewelers resize them?

    No they cannot be resized. Basically none of the "contemporary" metal rings can be sized.

    OK, so I looked DEEEEEP into this exact issue awhile back. The basic story as far as I could find was that yes technically is is theoretically possible to resize cobalt... but good luck finding anyone who will actually do it for you. So effectively, no.


    ETA: bonus tip - while the internet will tell you cobalt chrome is cheaper than white gold, actually finding such a thing is no small feat. I spent an inordinate amount of time looking for a simple 2mm cobalt chrome band in a small enough size for my finger, and when I finally found one it turned out to be more expensive than the same band in a more traditional metal. If you're choosing it for a non-cost reason, then I wish you much luck and hope you find exactly what you're looking for, but if you're choosing cobalt because of cost concerns, you may want to reconsider.
