Diane came into our office the other day. She had been referred to us by Carol, her hairdresser. Diane needed to have her ring resized because her knuckles were getting larger from arthritis. Her concern was that if we were to resize her ring that it should not spin since the inside of her finger was smaller.

I explained to her that in extreme cases there are special bands that will expand or hinge to solve the problem. In her case it was just a half size difference which is not extreme. All we had to do for Diane was to resize the ring 3/4 size larger and install a ring guard to prevent the ring from spinning. She left her ring, happy that she had a solution that addressed her concerns.
