Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Ring guard
- Chain-nose pliers
Step1
Call your local hardware or hobby shops to find if they have cards of ring guards. Some jewelry stores will also sell ring guards.
Step2
Take the ring with you when you go to buy the guard, just to make certain that it will fit the ring. Although most ring guards fit most rings, and you might need to try out different brands before you find a good fit.
Step3
Slip the ring guard over the back of the ring. The guard should be on the outside edges of the ring with its center in the center of the ring.
Step4
Squeeze the sides of the ring guard together tightly with a pair of chain-nose pliers. Make certain it is secure.
Step5
Test the size on your finger. If you have made the ring too small, grip the guard and the back of the ring. Pinch them together to increase the size.
