Rings

Stainless steel is a metal with many advantages: it's inalterable, hard-wearing and unchangeable. What's more, it's anti-allergenic, non-tarnishing and requires very little maintenance. That's why it's the ideal material for jewelry.

To adjust an adjustable stainless steel ring, proceed delicately to preserve the mechanism.

• First, slip the ring onto your finger to assess the amount of adjustment required.
• Using both hands, gently press the ends of the ring inwards if it's too large, or spread them slightly apart if it's too tight.
• Make gradual adjustments of a few millimeters at a time, rather than one big sudden movement that could weaken the metal, even if it's strong.

Use jewelry glue such as Hasulith, E6000 or Cyanolit glue to attach your cabochon.
