So I bought a thin channel-set eternity ring from eBay for cheaper than dirt. It was advertised as a size 7, but having had bad experiences with eBay sizing before, I took a chance. Unfortunately, it really IS a 7, so it is about one full size larger than I need. Otherwise it is thin, sparkly, and what I was looking for at the moment. It has obviously been sized before, when the previous owner added two diamonds, how hard do you all think it would be to get it "unsized"? Or do you think sizing beads would be able to correct the flopping around? Or should I just return it and say c'est la vie? It DOES fit my right hand ring finger, but it looks a little odd alone since it's so thin. Maybe my chance to start stacking on that hand? Oh decisions.
Sorry for the bad pictures, it's dark out and these were done with the iPad. Also my hands are dry and look 30 years older than the rest of me on a daily basis. ;)

I had a channel set band sized before, I think it went up about a size or so...so you should be able to have it sized...but check with a jeweler, if you got a deal and can size it then keep it..its a really pretty ring!
 
Thanks! It is the exact width and height I want, with vintage...something stones. Maybe single cuts? It's very pretty and sparkly in person, so I want to keep it. Maybe I should post in RockyTalky for suggestions for Orlando area jewelers that might be willing to resize? I don't know of much around here that does customizations, there are a lot of box stores.
 
That would be an excellent idea..I think the smaller jewelers tend to have better bench people who can size/repair jewelry.
