How to resize/ make a ring fit smaller using tape 

i love you. I was freaking out cause i bought a really expensive final sale ring and thought i had fucked up royally cause its way too big, but this really made me feel like it doesnt have to be the end of the world. I dont HAVE to make such a big deal out of it, I can just use some tape to wear it out when i want to, and it actually doesnt fall out at all. Simple solutions, huge relief. Thank you

I use fabric bandaids and wrap it around the inner part of the ring so you don't have to change the tape every time :) (and so it isn't sticky and uncomfortable)

I use stickable velcro (the soft side) to line the inside of my ring to make it fit tighter. It works wonders. It's soft when you slide your ring on and off, and it stays on the ring (the tape would fall off and you'd have to roll a new one each time you wear it, no?) Try it! =)

doesn't it come off after awhile since it sticks to your finger?

I had to chuckle when you gave your ring size -- I love Native American sterling/turquoise (and other fun gemstones) rings, but it's hard to find them in my size because the ones I fixate on are always 4-6, with far fewer in the 8-10 range. I actually got a tremendous deal on a size 12, which is two sizes too large for my largest finger, so I haven't worn it yet, but your video and people's comments have given me lots of ideas! Thanks to everyone! 😺💕🐾

Love it, I got a cool pinky ring for christmas but it was not even half a cm size bigger and this worked perfectly, it also kinda gives it a stronger grip on my finger + the smaller size

Thanks for this! I ordered a ring on Amazon, and it was way too big so I returned it and ordered 2 sizes smaller. This one was just a tiny bit too big, so I decided to just look this up instead of waiting a week for the return/recieve process again

Can you feel the tape? itchy, scratchy? This is a great idea!

I've been eyeing Rachel Roy costume rings for a month, and now I think I can buy them with this trick :) I can't even believe I couldn't come up with this trick on my own...Thanks so much for sharing this trick =)

Omg thank you! My boyfriend got me a ring n its a lil big now I can wear it

Won’t it come off if you wash you’re hands?

This method worked!!!! Thank you! Such a simple yet genius methodology! I was considered about having my ring tightened a bit for two reasons: 1. They might ruin my ring and my ring was given to me by someone very special, someone that has been in my life for a long time now, and will forevermore be in my life for as long as live, and 2. Every jewelry shop I called wanted to charge between $65 and $95 - only one of the stores was at $95, though. Regardless, they all said it would take a week or more; with one telling it will take about 3 days and the other telling me it would take up to 3 weeks, simply due to the fact that Christmas is less than 2 weeks from now. Still, that’s just about of 1. Money and 2. As a result of #1, putting things in motion, extremely long time. - CDM 13 Dec 2023

Good tip! Being a guy, I use duct-tape and a colored to match sharpy style permanent marker.

@monkie2000 Sorry for the late response, but I would recommend this only for rings about 1-2 sizes too big (nothing too huge on you!). If you can find "foam" or "mounting" tape at either the dollar store or craft store, that has worked really well for me. It's a little thicker and sticks on for a long time - my little piece of foam tape has lasted in my ring for months!

YES, you have saved my life! I can never fit any costume jewelry rings, but now I can! Thanks for the tip :).

omg thank you thank you thank you! i can't believe i never thought of this. i have tiny hands, think like grade 4 kids' hands, and it's impossible to find rings that are my size, even though i looooove rings. THANK YOU for making my.....well really thank you for making my life! i can now wear rings!!!!!

A few layers (apply, let dry, ally let dry, etc) of clear fingernail polish works superbly.

What a great tip! I have used tape in the past, too, but wrapped it differently. Your way is much more discreet! xoxo

you could either just get double sided tape and wrap it around a piece of string and put it on the band. Or, you could get sizing beads, which are little beads that you or a jeweller can put on the inside of the band.

I wrap sewing thread or yarn around the bottom of the ring until it fits snug and it lasts a long time.

Had to come to YT through Google to give you a like and comment - real simple and cool trick!

How does the tape stay in the ring? Do you have to redo this each time you wear the ring?

@joyheartsmakeup Yes I agree! F21 size 6 definitely runs a little smaller. I love their rings too for something trendy and inexpensive : ) Topshop ring sizing is terrible - they start at size "S," which compared to F21 is at least a 7.

Great idea, those ring sizers don't work so this is much better. Thank you I knew I'd find it on RU-vid!

@saddlerackcowgirl I've gotten into the habit of removing my nicer costume rings when washing hands to avoid wearing down the finish, regardless of whether or not there's tape inside. If you wash your hands w/ rings on then the stickiness might wear off quicker. Try foam or mounting tape though - it's lasted a long time for me even through a few hand washes where I had nowhere to put the rings down!

Hey, what would you suggest for rings which don't have such thick bands? I don't know what they're called but I have a few which are really thin, and I can't stick the tape, it just won't bed enough and it's wider than the ring itself. thanks (:

Won't you literally have to keep replacing that tape almost every single day?

Thank you so much!! This is really useful! I just got a ring and it's a little bit too big...with this trick, it fits so much better now~ =D

thank you so much do you have any ideas for rings that are too tight also loved this video new sub xx

hey i have the same leaf ring as you! it didnt fit but now it does :) thank you!

Wow this works pretty well so far. I can finally wear my finger chain rings without it falling off

Do you recommend using this tape trick for someone with a ring size of 3.5/4? Thanks!

This actually does work. You do have to be careful when you just washed your hands casue it can slip off. Dry your ring finger throughly , tape dries and still holds ring to your finger.

How haven't I thought of this?! So clever! :)

Thank you so much! The solution to my problem - I ve tried googling also and nothing like this come up, so this was very helpful.

Ooo scotch tape isn’t looking too good on my side probably because it’s just my scotch tape but I think I’m going to use one half of a bandaid those a sticky

i have the leaf ring from F21 and one from claire's (i lost the one rom f21 so i got one from claires) i personally think they're feathers

@vc2585 Thanks for watching! I too have been buying costume rings more freely now! I can't believe it took me this long to come up with this tip lol...after breaking a few rings that flew off my fingers : (

Can you tell us where you bought the lace top? Nice!

I have a real ring I just wrapped some tape 'around' the band instead. It lasts me atleast a month and I wash my hands a lot. I was looking for snuggies but then realized I could cut some 3/8'' clear vinyle tubing at the hardware store and make the same thing for like 2 cents.

Get blank paper, fold it into a square, then super glue it to the ring.

Yeah it's very difficult to shop for rings. My bf and I got promise rings and mine was the smallest size so I had them resize it smaller. Then after trying it on it was still big!! Made me think I had abnormally skinny fingers lol. My size in f21 for rings is 6 and they fit pretty nicely.

thank you soo much! i love ur rings they so pretty and you r too :) i have this ring and it didnt fit so i used thread and wrapped a bunch around the ring, but it looks ugly bcoz u can see it when my palm in facing someone so im gonna try this now haha ! thanks again! :)

Omg youre a life saver

I have the same problem because I'm a 5.5 and I can fit the rings from forever. Thank you so much for sharing this trick, I have like a zillion rings I've been dying too wear.

OMG! I never thought of this before, thankyou! :)

you're sooo pretty! :) i do this with double sided tape, but don't pull off one side! a) cause its usually thicker b) cause then the tape won't stick to your finger! :)

It works! Thank you for posting this little trick

i just tried this trick on a ring my boyfriend just gave me and it didn't work. The ring has a thin band so do you know any other tricks that could help

i have a ring that the band is really thin.... any tips???

Never heard to do this before thanks! I'm going to use this for mine!

Is it permanent?

I lobe your blouse, where did u buy it?;)

@hangiiexp I used to do that too as a solution : P But chunkier and bolder rings look funky on the thumb...hope this works out for you!

Omg thank you it worked of course it's not for everyday use but it's perfect for ocassions

I'm also a size 4, 5! (tiny fingers ftw) A size 6 only fits if they run small, I own a few. I recently bought 2 that I couldn't pass up that were a size 6, hoping they'd run small, they ended up falling right off, I'm gonna try the double sided (mounting) tape because I really love the rings and it would be more trouble than it's worth to return them (they came off ebay from China LOL)

I put tape to resize some of my real gold rings :p since there a size to big. you can do this with gold rings for the time being , before you actually go get them resized!

You saved me some money from having to make another purchase! 👍

My wedding ring (size 4.75) just recently feels so big that I'm constantly afraid it is going to whip off my fnder and be gone forever. I think its just seasonal, so it will fit soon in the near future. This is a perfect solution for a temorary problem.

That's actually a bright idea :D

yay I have small fingers just like you! you saved my life!

@6524dancer you're welcome! Happy ring sizing : )

Thank you for uploading this!♡

omg thank you! my size is 6 but they always are bigger than my actual fingers THIS IS A LIFE SAVER

I NEVER find a ring that fits perfectly. My fingers are thinner than yours... :D

How about 3M mounting tape..

OMG! You are a lifesaver! I can't ever find rings my size, stupid size 4 finger. -_-

Here are some other ways to resize a ring smaller... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OP_F8Lnx0WU.html

This is so helpful thanks!!!

That's such a great ideal! Thanks!!!

Neat solution!

Thank you!!!

Hun you are my salvation :D thank you so so so much also you are very pretty

didn't work for me :(

ah, thanks sooooo much! now i dont have to pass up on rings that i really like but are too big for me! =D

It don’t work

Don't forget guys and girls that your fingers swell in warm weather and and the rings will feel tighter And looser in the cold weather all down to the blood vessels in the fingers

I never buy fashion rings because they're always too big, but now I can! (=

OMG! Thank you thank you thank you sooooo muuuuchhh!!!!
