Hinged

Tips 

Tip Of The Day;

I made these ring spacers about 10 years ago on a clients rings, she brought them in for a check up today.

Much to my delight the spacers still functioned wonderfully.

By the way you should have your jewelry checked every 6 months or at least once a year.

Pretty simple to make these spacers. Works well for people with large knuckles but still want their rings to fit tight and not roll around on their finger so much.

A simple hinge with a wire that fastens to a bump or raised bar like on a safety clasp.

Just getting the distance of how much space to take up is the challenge.

Trial and error can be the best teacher.
