How to Stop Your Engagement Ring from Spinning.
In this blog post, we're diving into a common issue that many of our clients face: Engagement Ring Spinning.
What is Engagement Ring Spinning?
Have you ever noticed your engagement ring slipping, spinning, or refusing to stay straight on your finger? This issue occurs when the ring's stone is heavier than the band, causing it to shift around. It can lead to your beautiful ring sitting crookedly, or even ending up on the side or back of your finger. You may have seen this in photos of celebrities with large diamond rings—those dazzling cushion cuts often refuse to sit perfectly straight.
Why Does Engagement Ring Spinning Happen?
Engagement ring spinning can be more than just a minor inconvenience; it can be annoying. Many of our clients find themselves constantly adjusting their rings to keep them in the right position. But why does this happen in the first place? Here are some common reasons:
• Top-Heavy Design: Rings with larger stones or elaborate settings can become top-heavy, making them prone to spinning.
• Incorrect Sizing: If your ring is too big, it naturally has more room to move around.
• Weight Fluctuations: Changes in your weight can cause your ring size to fluctuate, making it looser and more likely to spin.
• Swollen or Contracting Fingers: Some people experience fluctuations in finger size due to temperature changes, exercise, or other factors.
• Thin Fingers with Large Knuckles: If your fingers are thin but your knuckles are large, the ring might fit over the knuckle but become loose around the base of your finger.
How We Can Help Fix Your Spinning Engagement Ring
The good news? You don't have to live with a spinning engagement ring. At our workshop, we offer several solutions to keep your ring perfectly positioned:
• Resizing: If your ring is too big, resizing it to fit snugly on your finger is the first step.
• Resizing Beads: We can add tiny resizing beads along the inside of your band. These can be rounded or flat and help keep your ring in place without compromising comfort.
• Reshaping: We can also reshape your ring to ensure it sits flush against your finger, reducing the chance of it spinning.
No two fingers are the same, and we understand that fingers aren’t perfectly round. That's why we always recommend visiting us with your ring so we can tailor the solution to your unique needs. Our workshop is on-site, allowing us to provide a quick solution, quote, and schedule your modification promptly. We know how important your engagement ring is, and we strive to ensure you aren’t without it for long.
