Ring Doesn’t Fit? Try These Ring Sizing Alternatives!
Finding the perfect ring is exciting—but what happens when the size isn’t quite right? Whether you're surprising someone with a proposal, inheriting a family heirloom, or just dealing with seasonal finger swelling, you may need an alternative to permanent resizing. At Hopman Jewelers, we're here to help with practical and professional solutions!
1. Metal Ring Guards
Ring guards are small metal bars that attach to the inside of your ring band to make it fit more snugly. They're great for temporary use, especially if your ring is just slightly too big. Plus, they’re affordable and easy to remove later.
2. Sizing Beads or Bars
Our in-store jewelers can solder two tiny metal beads or bars inside the shank of your ring. These are discreet, comfortable, and especially helpful if your ring spins or slips around your finger. They're ideal for people with large knuckles and slender fingers.
3. Shank Replacement
For a more tailored and long-term solution, we offer shank replacements that include locking clasps or adjustable shanks—perfect for those who need to get a ring over larger knuckles but still want a secure, comfortable fit once it’s on.
4. Spiral Sizers
This is an over-the-counter option made of clear plastic or silicone. It’s flexible, removable, and perfect if you're between sizes or trying to avoid permanent alterations—especially on antique or delicate rings.
