Where I live, here in Florida, sizing down is not as expensive as sizing up is as no gold has to be furnished, only cutting, reshaping, soldering and polishing is needed.

If your ring has diamonds or gemstones in it, it cannot be put into a liquid jewellery cleaner dip for cleaning, because the solution will react with your stones. There are jewellery cleaning cloth that you can buy, to give your ring a touch up and see if that works for you. Otherwise, if it is an expensive piece, I would recommend a jeweller. But definately try the cloth, which is also good for costume and silver jewellery. And sometimes just a gentle soap and water cleaning will remove the dirt gathered on the bottom of the setting and make your piece sparkle.
