How to Use a Ring Adjuster?

Published in Jewelry Repair 2 mins read

To use a spiral ring adjuster, first put the ring on your finger, then wind the spiral adjuster around the base of the ring until you achieve the desired snugness. Finally, trim off any excess adjuster material.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Steps for Applying a Spiral Ring Adjuster:

  1. Put on Your Ring: This is the first step, as the adjuster is designed to be applied while the ring is already on your finger.

  2. Position the Adjuster: Take the spiral ring adjuster. Start by positioning one end of the spiral against the inside of your ring.

  3. Wrap the Adjuster: Begin twisting or spinning the spiral adjuster around the shank (the bottom part of the ring that sits against your finger). Overlap each rotation slightly for the best fit.

  4. Adjust for Comfort: Continue wrapping until the ring feels snug and comfortable on your finger. You might need to experiment to find the right amount of adjustment.

  5. Trim the Excess: Once you're satisfied with the fit, use scissors or small wire cutters to trim off any excess spiral adjuster.

Tips for Using Ring Adjusters:

  • Clean the Ring: Before applying the adjuster, make sure the ring is clean and dry.
  • Choose the Right Size: Ring adjusters come in various sizes. Select one that is appropriate for the width of your ring's shank.
  • Consider Alternatives: If you need more than a temporary fix, consider getting your ring professionally resized by a jeweler.
