How do you tighten an open ring?

Published in Ring Sizing 2 mins read

To tighten an open ring, you can use a few methods depending on the ring's material.

Tightening a Metal Ring

If your ring is made of metal, you can use pliers. Here's how:

  • Gently Squeeze: Use a pair of pliers to carefully squeeze the band of the ring.
  • Adjust Fit: Apply gentle pressure until the ring fits more snugly on your finger.
  • Check Regularly: Periodically check the fit as you tighten to avoid making it too tight.

Tightening Rings Made of Other Materials

For rings made of wood, plastic, or other materials that cannot be squeezed, consider these methods:

  • Paper or Cloth Inserts:
    • Cut a small piece of paper or cloth.
    • Place the insert inside the ring band.
    • This will make the inner circumference smaller.
  • Trial and Error: Adjust the size of the insert until the fit is comfortable.
