Your Options for Expandable Arthritis Jewellery Rings

Expandable arthritis jewellery rings have grown in popularity because of the fact that they take into consideration realities about ring sizes. People who buy rings would traditionally measure the current ring size and have a ring design customized to that size.

However, there’s a growing understanding that arthritis rings size change over the short term and the long term. In the short term, ring sizes change as a result of pregnancy and other hormonal shifts, the weather, the time of day, and even the physical activity that one is doing. For instance, swimmers may find their rings a bit looser after a long swim in the pool, and pregnant women may find their rings feeling tight as their fingers swell during their pregnancy.

In the long term, people may find that age causes the skin and the muscle to weather, causing the fingers to slightly swell. Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause the joints to swell and become inflamed permanently, and, because it is a chronic progressive disorder, can worsen over time and result in the loss of muscular movement.


Some expandable rings that people can choose from are those that are made from expandable metallic links. These metal links are similar to those used in expandable watch straps that are already commonplace.

Other rings are made from magnetic beads that allow them to adjust to the wearer’s ring size. These magnetic beads are also said to help with relieving pain associated with arthritis.

The last type of expandable rings are those made from multiple parts, with the back portion of the ring with a spring tension lock mechanism that allows the wearer to slip the ring on and off with ease. Moreover, the spring tension in the ring allows it to expand to accommodate increases in finger size.
