Ring Sizing Beads
Sizing Beads/Shots/Bridge
Sizing beads are round precious metal balls that are added in the inside of a ring to decrease the inner circumference or size. It is a great alternative to size a ring down or prevent it from turning or twisting on the finger with the least amount of impact to the ring. The beads, shots, or bridges are a semi-permanent solution and can be removed by a jeweler if needed with no visible impact to the ring.
The beads are only available in gold (white, rose, or yellow), due to the difference in melting points of adhering the beads to the host metal. If the host metal is a white metal like Platinum or Palladium, we will match it with white gold sizing beads/shots/bridges.
All beads include an intermediate level complimentary clean and polish. This includes all aspects of the basic clean + polish to buff out scratches and rhodium if needed. This includes ultrasonic clean, soft bristle brushing, and heated steam clean, as well as polishing to remove light scratches and rhodium plating (if necessary).
