Conventional rings don't fit everyone. On a given time and day it might, but
swelling, injury, or something else makes it difficult for a ring to stay put
or get it on. Plus, fingers aren't perfectly round but most rings are,
creating a bit of an issue.
Usually a ring will only fit one finger. Even the same finger on the other hand
varies by a half-size or more depending on the musculature and bone structure.
For me, all fingers on my dominant hand are slightly larger. Granted I work a lot
with my hands so it may be more pronounced.
Several standard solutions can overcome this. Affixing something to the
inside of the ring decreases the effective size. Like you're gonna grow into it or
something? Well, yes, that insert can be changed as needed.
It's only for making rings fit tighter, naturally, but not helpful with odd-shaped or irregular
finger issues. It's purely a sizing implement.
Several of my rings have a range of
at least one ring size without modification or special tricks.
It's inherent to the design.
Option one is a
Mobius Ring.
Though there is no size range with the
two-band version, it gets interesting with three or more bands.
I can't count how many ways there are to wear a five-band version since the layup, ring orientation and position
within the layup, and how it's made affect the effective size; it's easily a two size variance!
It gets really interesting when multiple wire sizes are
used, giving the widest range possible and a visual element
that's not easily ignored.
The second is the
Dual-Band Crossover Ring.
There are four wire thicknesses at virtually any ring size.
The ring is compressed a tiny amount prior to putting
it on. As it's slid up the finger, its spring-like
nature expands over higher spots and resumes its normal size thereafter.
Last is the
Sailor's Knot Ring.
At least four wire thicknesses available, sized to fit virtually any finger.
It is worn like the Dual-Band Crossover.
The other adjustable feature on the Dual-Band Crossover, Sailor's Knot, and
the Dual Overhand Knot
is that the bands can be separated from each other in the back
for a snugger fit still yet.
If desired, a wraparound ring can be made similar to utensil rings.
The band is slotted or split so that it can be easily enlarged or shrunk.
It's essentially a slightly larger version of a toe ring.
