How to Adjust Wedding Rings for Enlarged Knuckles

Though many people wear the same ring size throughout their lives, some find their fingers shrink or enlarge with age. One of the bigger problems ring wearers have is enlarged knuckles. Knuckles can swell due to temperature, arthritis or some kinds of bone diseases that can trigger joint growth. Ensure that the most important rings you possess, your wedding rings, can fit over your knuckles and still fit tightly on your fingers by using a plastic insert, which is one very affordable way for a ring to stay snug on your finger.

Instructions

1

Take your wedding ring to the jeweler to get it sized to fit over your knuckle. Often when you purchase a ring from a jeweler, it will be sized for free a certain number of times.

2

Get your finger sized while at the jewelry store. Use this information to purchase the correct size for a ring adjuster. The jewelry store should carry ring adjusters or tell you where these can be purchased.

3

Clean your wedding ring thoroughly. If the ring is not clean, the sizing can be affected by any grit that goes under a ring insert.

4

Put the wedding ring on your finger. Pop the ring insert onto the back of the band. It should hold the ring on your finger snugly.
