Up or down, plain or set, quoted before the work starts. Including the rings other shops say cannot be done.
You get the price first. Nothing goes on the bench and comes back with a number attached.
Eternity and pavé bands need stones repositioned, not a band cut and stretched. Stretching a set ring loosens every stone in it.
Measured here, at the right time of day, on the right finger. Sizing from a ring that fits a different finger is the usual cause of a wrong result.
Going down is generally the straightforward direction. A section is removed from the bottom of the shank, the ends are rejoined, and the join is finished so it disappears. On a plain band this is routine.
Going up means either stretching the metal or adding a piece of matching metal into the shank. A small increase can sometimes be stretched; a larger one needs metal added, which is stronger and holds better.
Either way the ring is re-polished and, if it is white gold, re-rhodium-plated so the repair is invisible.
I will tell you which category yours falls into before taking it in, not after.
Fingers change through the day and across seasons — usually smallest in the morning and in the cold. Come in mid-afternoon at a normal temperature and we will size against that. It is the difference between a ring you wear and a ring you resize twice.
Bring a written quote from another jeweler and I will beat it or tell you I cannot.

A plain band is quick. Set bands and eternity rings take longer because the stones have to be dealt with properly.
No. It is soldered, finished and polished, and on white gold re-plated.
Yes, within reason. Each resize thins the shank a little, so after several the shank may want rebuilding.
A size or two either way is routine on most rings. Larger jumps are possible but need metal added.
Yes. Where it came from makes no difference.
