Ring guard ring sizers create a custom fit on most ring styles. Use these simple instructions to quickly and effectively apply ring guards to your customers’ rings, creating a custom fit without costly and time-consuming sizing of the ring itself.
Here is a guide to help you choose the appropriate ring guard size:
Small – Children’s rings and thin-band women’s rings.
Medium – Thick-band women’s rings or regular men’s rings.
Large – Thick-band men’s rings, extra-wide bands.
Jumbo – Class rings and heavy signet rings.
Step 1 Lay the ring guard on your work surface with its arms curved upward as shown below. Depending on the style of ring guard, the arms may be oriented in the same direction or in opposite directions. Both styles are installed in the same way.
Step 2 Place the ring on top of the ring guard with the shank inside the U-bends in the curved arms of the ring guard.
Step 3 Be sure the shank rests at the back of the U-bend in the guard arms (inside curve) to ensure the best fit.
Step 4 Push down on the center area of the ring guard so it takes on the shape of the shank.
Step 5 Using chain-nose or needle-pliers, with the jaws parallel to the guard arm, bend the arm in a smooth circular motion, tightening the ring guard arm to the ring shank.
Step 6 Continue turning until the ring guard arm has gone around the inside of the ring shank, then squeeze to clamp down and tighten the arm against the shank.
Step 7 Repeat for the second arm.
Step 8 Once the ring guard is in place, you can more finely adjust the size of the ring. Just push up (or down) on the middle area of the ring guard to tighten or loosen it on your customer’s finger.
