Large Knuckle Solution!

We have customers come in everyday who want to get their rings sized, but can't quite find the perfect fit. For many, the size that fits over their knuckle makes the ring spin around once it gets to the back of their finger. Unfortunately, we could only tell each concerned ring sizee that we can only make the ring the size they tell us to as there is no happy medium in these cases.

Over the many years we have been in business, we have seen all kinds of products claiming to solve this problem, from putting balls of gold in the shank (which are uncomfortable and not very effective) to a company who manufactures their own special shank (which works wonderfully, but usually costs more than you paid for your ring). The only cost effective option that tends to help the most is a temporary metal ring guard, which don't last very long and can scratch your finger as they get older.

So, why am I telling you all these problems we have had? Because we have recently found a very effective alternative!

This little bar has to be soldered onto one side of the bottom of your ring, then a small notch is made in the other side of the shank. Once it's on, you just slide your ring on, then snap the swing guard in place. Isn't that simple? It is only visible from the bottom and it looks like this:

If you are suffering from this unfortunate fitting problem, come in today and we can get a price on a swing bar to fit your ring :)
