To make your ring smaller using sizing beads, a jeweler simply adds two small metal balls on the back part of the inside of your ring. Sizing beads are an economical way to reduce the size of your ring. They're perfect for reducing a ring by one half-size and they're great for keeping your ring upright on your finger.
Also asked, how can I resize my ring at home?
To resize a ring to make it smaller, use a coffee stir stick to apply silicone sealant along the inside of the ring. Use the stir stick to smooth out the sealant, then allow it to dry for 24-48 hours before wearing your ring. To expand your ring, lubricate it with dish soap and slide it onto a mandrel.
In this way, is it better to size a ring up or down?
The short answer is that it's always better to go a size up if you're unsure of your exact size, because it's easier to resize down than it is to resize up. It's also not healthy for a ring to be resized more than once.
Fold the thin strip of paper around the finger at the base and close enough to your knuckle. Mark the area where the two ends of the paper strip meet. Use the ruler to measure the length in millimeters to give you the circumference. Convert the measurement to the appropriate ring size, using the ring size chart above.
