If you need a speciality size smaller or larger than our core size range, custom sizing is offered for a nominal fee. Please contact us at info@blotmani.com to discuss your sizing needs.

• Can BlotMani size an item? Jewelry information; because every piece is handcrafted to order, we can not exchange or refund on items for change of mind or due client error when choosing the size. Some products can be resized (for a nominal fee), however due to the unique textural detailing on the works, it’s never ideal to need to cut into the ring to resize it, as the resize will leave a «scar» on the metal where the texture will not meet harmoniously.
