Putting on an adjustable ring is simple; here's how to do it properly to avoid damaging it or your finger:
Steps to Putting On and Adjusting an Adjustable Ring:
-
Position the Ring: Place the ring on the desired finger. The opening of the adjustable band should be on the underside of your finger, where it's less visible.
-
Gentle Sizing (if needed):
- To make it smaller: If the ring is too large, slowly and gently squeeze the open band inward with your index finger and thumb. Apply pressure gradually and a little at a time.
- To make it larger: If the ring is too small, gently pull the open band outwards. Again, do this slowly and gradually.
-
Maintain Round Shape: While adjusting, use your thumbs to gently apply pressure to the top (face) of the ring band to help maintain its round shape. This prevents the ring from becoming misshapen or pinching your finger.
-
Check for Comfort: Ensure the ring is snug but not too tight. You should be able to rotate the ring on your finger with slight resistance. Avoid wearing the ring too tightly, as this can restrict blood flow and be uncomfortable.
Important Considerations:
- Fragile Materials: Be extra careful when adjusting rings made of delicate materials like thin metals or those with embedded stones. Excessive force can damage them.
- Avoid Over-Adjusting: Repeatedly adjusting an adjustable ring can weaken the metal and lead to breakage. Try to find the right size and avoid frequent alterations.
- Proper Fit: The goal is a comfortable fit that won't easily fall off. If your ring is excessively large or small, consider whether an adjustable ring is the right choice, or if resizing by a jeweler is more appropriate.
By following these steps, you can safely and effectively put on and adjust an adjustable ring for a comfortable and stylish fit.
