Tips to "immediately" fix a loose ring
The first problem in how to wear a beautiful ring is to choose a ring that fits your finger. In case the ring is too big, you can refer to some of the solutions below.
Wearing a ring that is too wide on another finger
This is the simplest tip when wearing a ring that is too loose by moving the ring to another finger, because our fingers are often uneven and have differences in size. So if the ring on the ring finger does not fit, you can change it to the index or middle finger.
Additionally, you should also wear the ring on your non-dominant arm to keep the ring from getting scratched or deformed.
Wear an extra ring on the outside
This is also one of the simple ways to fix a loose ring , which is to wear an additional ring outside to prevent the loose ring from falling out. This method is not only effective but also helps to increase your personality.
The easiest way to fix a loose ring at home
Take the thread and wrap it around the back of the ring.
What to do if your ring is too loose ? Another way to fix this is to get a piece of dental floss or sewing thread that matches the color of the ring.
Preparation: 1 piece of thread the same color as the ring, or dental floss.
How to do: Wrap the thread around the back of the ring until it feels snug. Then try it on your finger to see if it fits, then adjust the loop of the thread to fit your finger.

If your ring is too wide, you can use this method to fix this problem. The steps are simple:
Preparation: 1 soft, light sponge, about 1 cm in size.
How to do 1:
- Step 1: Choose a small, thin sponge.

Preparation: 1 piece of medical tape or transparent tape, 1cm wide, about 5-7cm long.
How to do it: Wrap the tape around your finger until it fits the ring you are wearing. However, this method can make the ring finger feel uncomfortable and is also unsightly because the tape is exposed.
Wrap clear tape around the ring
Preparation: 1 piece of adhesive tape 1cm wide, 5-7cm long
How to: You can adjust the ring if it is too loose by taking it and wrapping it around the back of the ring until it fits.
Make a ring less wide with a glue gun and wax paper
One way to fix a loose ring is to use a glue gun and wax paper. The steps are simple:
Preparation: 1 sheet of wax paper, 1 glue gun
Perform:- Step 1: You need to prepare a glue gun, a glue stick, and a sheet of wax paper.
- Step 2: You need to clean the ring first, then use a soft, specialized cloth to dry it.
- Step 3: Next, you need to spread a small piece of wax paper on a flat surface, then insert the candle gun and wait a few minutes until the candle softens, then shoot a sufficient amount onto the surface of the wax paper.
- Step 4: Press the ring into the hot glue spot that has just been poured onto the wax paper and leave the surface of the ring covered in hot glue until it dries.
- Step 5: Finally, use a towel to gently wipe the ring until the glue is gone or if the candle glue is too strong, you can use scissors to cut off the excess candle glue until the glue layer is wrapped under the ring tail to fit the size of your finger, then use a towel to wipe again.
Wrap the ring with a rubber band
When fixing a loose ring and you don't want to do the above methods, you can use a rubber band or transparent elastic band to ensure aesthetics when wearing it.
Preparation: 1 belt or 1 elastic band, rubber band.
How to do:- Method 1: Take a rubber band and put it on the finger below the ring. This will help narrow the gap between the ring and your hand, but you also need to be careful not to tighten it too much as it will make it difficult for blood to circulate.
- Method 2: Roll the elastic band at the bottom of the ring (bottom of the palm) and tie the elastic band until you feel the thickness is just right for the ring size without being loose, then tie it again and cut off the excess string.
Use silicone to reduce ring size
Preparation: 1 piece of transparent silicone, glue, scissors
How to do it: You try to fit the silicone piece into the ring so that it fits your finger. Then, use scissors to cut the silicone piece to fit the ring, and finally use glue to stick the silicone piece firmly into the ring.
Use clear nail polish
You can fix a ring that is too big by using nail polish to make the ring wider to fit your finger size.
Preparation: 1 bottle of clear nail polish.
How to do: For this method, you just need to use nail polish to cover the surface of the ring until it is thick enough. However, you should not apply this method to rings that are too wide, because nail polish is limited in thickness when used and does not last long because nail polish is easy to peel off during wear.

Adjusting a loose ring from a jeweler
If you are feeling the above methods are troublesome, you can choose to take the ring to the jewelry store to adjust the ring size to fit your hand. Below are some ways to adjust a loose ring from a jeweler that you can refer to:
Fix the ball into the ring
When the ring you wear is too loose, attaching the ball inside the ring will help you wear the ring more snugly and not change the original size of the ring. Especially, after a while, you no longer need it, you can still ask to remove these balls.
With this method, the jewelers will attach small metal beads made of materials that match the material of your ring such as silver , gold, or alloy, etc., so that the ring fits your finger.
Tighten ring size
If your ring is too big, a downsize is a good option. This way, the jeweler will measure the exact ring size, then cut off the excess ring and adjust the ring to fit your finger.
Note: Not all ring materials can be downsized and this method will take a long time to reprocess. Besides, cutting the ring size also loses the inherent beauty of the ring, so you need to consider carefully when choosing this method.
Insert metal spacer into ring
This is a way to adjust the ring size by the jeweler will use a U-shaped pad attached to the inside of the ring to help fix the ring and reduce the ring size to fit your finger. This method also has the same advantage as the method of adding a pad inside the ring, which is that you can remove it when you no longer need it.
Note before choosing to change ring size
Cases where permanent ring size adjustment is not recommended
Some cases where we recommend that you should not change the size of your ring permanently are as follows:
- Do not adjust ring size in cold weather: Usually in cold weather, your fingers will get smaller, making the ring too big, so you should not adjust the ring size permanently, but instead only adjust the ring size temporarily.
- When you are losing weight: One of the cases where you should not change the size of your ring permanently is when you are in the process of losing weight. Because when you are in the process of losing weight, it can cause the size of your fingers to change, there will be no fixed size. So you should wait until your weight is stable before changing the size of your ring.
In case you should only adjust the ring size temporarily
Below are some cases where you should only apply permanent ring resizing such as:
- People with large knuckles often have difficulty wearing rings, but they are loose in the middle and corners of the finger.
- When you are planning to stop wearing the ring and give it to someone else.
- People often experience itching and swelling in the ring finger.
- The ring material is not enough for you to adjust the size.
