Question: My ring spins. Other than sizing it smaller, what can be done?
I am amazed at how many people have this problem! When the ring fits over your knuckle, it fits looser on the part of the finger it rests on.
Rings with a large stone, or a heavy top tend to “spin” the most. Your jeweler can add two “cleats” or “beads” to the inside of the shank (band) to help stabilize the ring on your finger. These do not damage the ring and make the ring feel like it’s about ¼ to ½ size smaller, depending on how large the beads are.
Ring guards can work, too, but are a bit unsightly and need readjusting from time to time. Another option when purchasing a ring is to look for one with what’s called a “Euro shank”, one that’s a bit squared off at the base of the shank.
The look is modern and I find them to be very comfortable to wear.

My engagement ring does this and it makes me mad. Does it also help to have it soldered to the wedding band? If so, I would love to have you fix it for me soon. It’s so annoying!
