    Finger size fluctuates with temperature and humidity. If you want to find the correct size for your ring, measure it when the temperature is not too high or low. And your body is not swollen due to various factors.

    The size of your finger keeps fluctuating, so there will be times when your ring may be a little loose or a little tight. Your goal should be to have it resized to a point where it fits comfortably on most days.

    It is a good idea to give it for resizing to the jeweler who made it. They will know the metals the ring contains and the process involved in making it.

    If you take it to a reputable jeweler who resizes it by adding or subtracting metal (rather than stretching or compressing it), then it will not affect the integrity of the ring.
  • Question
    How can I solder a silver ring closed?
    Community Answer
    By using a mini-butane torch and silver jewelry solder.
  • Question
    Will any of these ways damage a plastic ring?
    Community Answer
    As plastic is not bendable, the ones involving stretching it or bending it most likely will. However, I see no reason that the silicone one shouldn’t work!
