I use a lot of very unusual or One of a Kind stones. The designs I use for them are unique to that stone. This is a problem when making rings. A ring size is so specific that it eliminates many potential buyers. So I developed sturdy adjustable bands to be used with these rings.
I set the ring to size before I ship it to make sure it is a good fit and that the band is round and the stone sits straight on the finger. However, the size can be adjusted by the buyer at any time. There is just a mm of difference between sizes so adjustments are very small. To make the ring larger, grasp both ends of the band and very gently and very slowly uncoil the band until it moves just a tiny bit. Try the ring on. To make it smaller , the easiest way is to just squeeze the band more firmly around the finger while it is on.
We change sizes as we age , so these rings can be worn for a lifetime. Adjustable rings will slowly expand as we do while wearing them because the open band introduces some flex to the design that closed bands do not possess. Lose a bit of weight and a simple squeezing of the band will snug things up again.
These rings are very organic and often asymmetrical. I recommend trying them on all your fingers when you first get it and try it on from both sides of the ring. There will be a few positions on your hands where the ring looks particularly stunning , but it may not be where you had planned on wearing it. So have fun and see what looks best! Changing the size often to fit different fingers will shorten the life of an adjustable ring because of metal fatigue. So once you find your sweet spot, keep it there and enjoy your ring!
