Use your fingers to pop the hot glue right off of the ring if you decide you’d like to remove it. Make sure the hot glue is completely dry before you put it on your finger to avoid burning your skin.

Use clear tape if possible so it’s not as noticeable when you put the tape on your ring.

If your ring is still sliding around on your finger, apply another clear coat layer on top of the first layer to give it more height. Use your fingers to wipe away any excess nail polish that gets on the sides of your ring, if necessary. If you need to remove the top coat from the ring, soak a cotton ball in acetone and dab the ring with it until the nail polish comes off.

Look for plastic ring guards at your local big box store or online.

Pull the fishing line taut as you’re looping it through the band to make sure it stays on the ring tightly. This will also help you push the loops together more easily. If you need to remove the fishing line from the ring, cut the knots at the band and unravel it carefully.

Tie another knot at the other end of the band to keep the string or cloth in place. Use a soft cloth that’s less than 1 cm (0. 39 in) wide to make looping it easier. Use scissors to cut the string or cloth off of the ring, if necessary.

Contact your local jeweler to find out how much sizing beads would cost for your specific type of ring. For example, if your ring was made out of 14K gold, the beads that are attached would be made of 14K gold as well to match. Sizing beads can also be removed later on by your jeweler, if needed.

Many people find these to be the most comfortable option. The spring insert is usually silver, even if your ring is a different color or material.

Make sure you talk with your jeweler about how much smaller your ring needs to be and what your correct ring size is so they know exactly how to resize it.
