Expandable arthritis jewellery rings, when you first hear about them, are hardly glamorous or awe-inspiring. However, given the considerations of time, they may be the best and only way to continually enjoy your rock over time.

Perhaps for women, receiving their first ring from a man who loves them is one of the best moments of their lives. This ring for them is a sign not only of love but of appreciation, because the man they love put effort into giving them a beautiful ring. Usually, the man simply gets their ring size (either from friends or by asking for it outright) and makes a design customized in their size.

However, studies have shown that about 70% of all women experience some sort of ring size change in their lifetimes. This change results from short term considerations—like weather, physical activity, hormonal changes, pregnancy—all of which may cause minimal swelling or shrinking of the fingers. Signs that point to ring size changes
range from the ring rolling on the finger when it is worn, to the ring leaving a wear-mark when it is removed. Others may find that they need to twist the ring along their fingers before they are able to pull the ring off.

Others will suffer changes in ring size as a result of arthritis. Arthritis causes pain and inflammation in the joints. This means that even if a person who has arthritis manages to pull a ring off after much difficulty, this will be at the expense of experiencing a lot of pain.

Luckily, women need not give up the luxury of continually wearing that ring that gives them greatest pride and joy. Expandable rings are now available for request in jewellery stores. Old rings can be refitted to accommodate a lock and latch mechanism that allows the ring to adjust according to the ring size of the wearer.

Magnetic rings that also act as expandable rings make use of magnetized gems like hematite and amethyst, making sure that expandable rings not only function well but also look glamorous.
