How to Properly Size Adjustable Jewelry
To ensure your jewelry maintains its shape and durability, it's important to understand how to care for sizeable rings and cuffs. Over-adjusting or frequent resizing can weaken the material, so they should adjust it only when necessary.
Use Both Hands for Mutual Pressure:
When resizing the ring or cuff, hold both sides of the open band gently.
Apply equal pressure to both sides simultaneously as you widen or narrow the ring. This ensures the adjustment is smooth and prevents uneven stress on the metal.
Adjust Gradually:
Make small adjustments, testing the fit between each step, to avoid over-bending or stressing the ring.
Never twist or force the metal, as this could distort the shape or weaken the structure.
Find the Perfect Fit:
The ring and/or cuff should feel snug but comfortable, neither pinching the finger nor sliding off easily.
