If you wear more than one ring on the same finger, you may find it easier and more comfortable to join your rings together. As well as reducing friction, chaffing or pinching of your skin as the rings rub together, you can also prolong the life of your ring and help the metal keep its shine for longer.
When considering joining your rings together, bear in mind that this may affect any warranty or insurance. Some ring joining techniques are semi-permanent and others, such as professional soldering, are more permanent. (more…)

If you are lucky and this happens at home it will be less embarrassing, but no less complicated to unstick the ring.
As a rule, never force the ring from your finger. There are many tried and proven techniques you can use. By forcing the ring in any way, the metal may bend tighter or break and cut your skin. (more…)
