How to fit a ring size adjuster and keep it comfortable
Before you start
- Clean and dry the inside of the band.
- Check the band width and thickness against the adjuster's packaging.
- Try the adjuster loosely first before fixing it in place.
Clear coil
- Choose the coil thickness for your gap.
- Wrap it around the bottom of the band, opposite the stone.
- Trim if needed and smooth the ends so they do not scratch.
Adhesive strip
- Cut the strip to the length of the bottom third of the band.
- Peel and press it inside the band, at the bottom.
- Press firmly for a minute, then wait before wearing if the packaging says so.
Silicone insert
- Open the slit along the insert.
- Clip it onto the bottom of the band.
- Rotate it so it sits evenly and does not show from the top.
Keep it comfortable and clean
- Remove and clean inserts regularly with mild soap and water.
- Take rings off for heavy hand washing, cleaning products and sports.
- Replace adhesive strips when they lift or collect dirt.
Protect the ring
Check that the adjuster does not rub against prongs or stones. If the ring is valuable or delicate, ask a jeweler whether an adjuster could damage it. If you need to close more than about two sizes, a jeweler resize is usually more comfortable and secure.
