How to stretch adjustable rings like Boobs!

I sometimes get questions about how to stretch adjustable rings that are of the harder type. They are usually so hard that you can't move them with your own hands, so how do you do it? The easiest way to do this yourself is to thread the ring over a pointed object, such as a bottle of nail polish - they are usually perfect for this purpose!

Put some paper or something thin and soft in between to avoid scratches, slide the ring over the object and press gently downwards and it will open! Don't push it too far down, but try it out to find your size. The fact that the ring is hard is very positive from a durability perspective - softer adjustable metal risks losing its shape too quickly. If you want to know more about this or need help stretching a ring - get in touch and we'll solve it!

Sustainable jewelry

Creating durable jewelry at good prices that you as a user can have for many years has always been my primary goal. Easier said than done! It is important to find details and chains that have a thick gold plating, otherwise they wear down very quickly to the metal underneath, usually it is brass for most jewelry but in some cases silver. Regardless, you want the plating to last as long as possible so that the jewelry looks fresh and stylish!

Many manufacturers nowadays claim, for example, that you can swim with your jewelry, but we who work in the industry know that water often causes the jewelry to be exposed to unnecessary wear and tear, and that the plating will wear down faster and that the oxidation will be more prominent than if you avoid water, so don't be fooled! Another tip is to avoid letting your jewelry lie in direct sunlight when not in use. They fade and are unnecessarily affected by the light if they are left by, for example, a sunny window! If you care about your jewelry and want it to last a long time, get in the habit of putting it in a box when you are not using it, and it will last much longer!

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me and I will answer as best I can!
