What is what to do when ring is too big?

If your ring is too big, there are several options to consider:

  • Sizing Beads or Balls: A jeweler can add small metal beads or balls to the inside of the ring shank. These help to grip your finger and prevent the ring from spinning or slipping off. This is a good option if the ring is only slightly too big. See more about this process: Sizing Beads or Balls

  • Ring Guards or Adjusters: These are inexpensive, temporary solutions made of plastic or metal that you slip onto the back of the ring. They fill the gap between your finger and the ring. They are readily available online and in jewelry stores. Learn more: Ring Guards or Adjusters

  • Ring Sizing: The most permanent and professional solution is to have a jeweler resize the ring. This involves cutting a small section of the shank and either removing metal to make the ring smaller or adding metal to make it larger, then soldering the ring back together. This is the best option for significant size differences. More information: Ring Sizing

  • Metal Spring Inserts: These are small, flexible metal pieces that are placed inside the ring to make it fit more snugly. They are a good option for rings that are only slightly too big, and they can be a more comfortable alternative to ring guards. Explore metal spring inserts here: Metal Spring Inserts

  • Consider knuckle size: If your ring fits over your knuckle but spins once it's on your finger, you may want to explore options that accommodate knuckle size. These options can involve special ring designs or adjustments that are wider at the knuckle and narrower at the base of the finger. Read more about this Knuckle Size Issues
