How To Change A Captured Bead Ring

Here's a question I got recently on how best to change out a captured bead ring from a nose piercing. This style of jewelry works the same no matter what the type of piercing it's in, so really, this tutorial will work for any piercing with this type of ring.

"Hey...glad to find you here, we've got a question! My daughter has had her nose pierced for about 2 years. She has been wear nostril screws or L-bars but just a few days ago, she had her piercer put in a ring. It turns out she needs to be able to take the ring out for her job. In as much detail as possible, can you tell us how we should be doing this. It doesn't seem to come out very easily at all. The opening where the ball was doesn't allow enough space to get it off/out of her nose."

My answer:

You are correct the ring doesn't leave much room, but that's because that's the position it needs to be in to hold the ball. Captured bead rings get put in and out by bending the ring open. HOWEVER, make sure you do NOT bend the ring open by pulling the two ends away from each other so that the ring deforms into a U-shape! Or in other words, don't move the ends <-- [bead space] -->. You want to bend the ends away from each other in what I'd call north and south directions, so that the ring circle starts to have a bit of a spiral shape. This will make a much larger opening but not stress the metal as much. It also lets you line up the ends properly again to put the jewelry back in later.

There are two types of tools that can make dealing with captured bead rings easier. One is called ring spreaders, and these work opposite conventional pliers in that they open their jaws wider as you squeeze closed on the handles. These let you open the ring just the barest amount to capture or release the tightly-gripped bead. The other helpful tool is called O-ring pliers and they have curved tongs at the ends. These are use for reshaping and closing body rings into smooth circles. A perfectly round circle is more aesthetic and comfortable to wear.

Design Your Own Wedding Ring

Since 1992, Sparkle N Dazzle is engaged into an online business of fine jewelry and gifts. But incidentally, I came to know about them months back only, which is again too late but a little early for me. My sister’s marriage is on cards. And one of our family traditions is going with the flow of diamonds. They have a huge collection of elegant diamond rings designed especially for wedding or engagement occasions.
My hubby bought me one ruby ring on our fifth anniversary. It was then I came to know about that shop. Every time I carry that ring, I get flooded with compliments. Today everyone believes in gifting affordable sapphire rings, ruby rings, emerald rings, wedding anniversary rings and eternity rings to make their relationship priceless. The company uses only the finest materials from certified diamonds to finest platinum and gold and picks the best elements to add elegance to it.

The diamonds rings start at $2750 and may go as high as you can afford. The one that I like is a multi gemstone flower fashion ring that features five stones i.e. ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, diamond and others. Also, their collection of fashionable watches is worth glaring.

Bejeweled Rings

Pricey things interest me but I can’t afford to possess all. And thus window shopping remains on the cards offering me a soothing eye pill. But now I have an excuse to ink neat deals as its more about celebration than affording things. Folks, my cousin’s marriage is on cards and together we starting looking for luxurious and elegant jewelry but fail to find one as there weren’t anything suiting our taste. And the utter dismay was an entire day got wasted. Then we were told by our common friend to visit online stores as they have a huge variety that can satiate us and saves a lot of time.

And on my hunt for sapphire rings, I came across an online shop that has a specialization in dealing with all kinds of jewelry starting from rings, wedding bands, pendants bathed in ruby, diamond and emerald. The one that invited my attention was ruby rings and emerald rings. Sapphire-fitted rings looks elegant with its sapphires stones alternated with diamonds. Near to my anticipation, the price of the rings start from $1500 and the one I would like to pick for my fiancée is retailed at $2750 (pictured above)

Fashionable Stackable Rings

Daniel Koren has stamped a favorable impression of his creativity on the fashion critics. Last year, his Prêt‐� ‐Porter Collection with black and white diamonds was quite something. Even the colorful stackable bangles came to become a very popular trend. And now, Koren is trying to keep up with everyone’s expectations thanks to the launch of a whole line of brilliantly colored rings.

The biggest attraction these rings have is that they can both be worn singly or stacked. We do agree the design and pattern may not be something new but the diamonds and gemstones like rubies and the sapphires in various colors bring a new spark to the rings that are made in 18K white, rose and yellow gold to complement the colors of stones used.

As� we already mentioned, the design is pretty simplistic with many many precious stones queuing up in three lines along the circular ring. Among the color of stones you can pick between dark pink, green, dark blue, light green, white ice and orange brown. By the way, you also have the option of buying the whole range to stack your finger. The starting range is $2,850 and goes on to $10,050

French Bijoux for Wedding

If jewelry is what you are planning to buy, it is quite apparent that there isn’t anything that could compare with French bijoux and designs. Van Cleef & Arpels is a famous and historical jewelry shop based in Paris and they have just unveiled their bridal collection.

They look almost like jewelry made for the French royalty and the delicate cuts and designs would turn you the woman of the day on your big wedding day. They say marriages are made in heaven but the truth is there is no place like a wonderful married home. Romance, Prélude, Opéra, Tête � Tête, Estelle and Promesse, are some of the bridal jewelry available.

These glamorous rings are made of platinum and diamonds and hence would be some of the most expensive jewelry ever. These are certified for their quality but then you should not doubt French sophistication! This should be the way a married life must start.

Wedding ring

The wedding ring is probably one of the most important parts of marriage. Traditionally it's a symbol that you are taken and of your commitment to each other, and fashion wise it's something that you'll be wearing for the rest of your life, meaning you have to take time and effort picking the right one.
Unlike the engagement ring, which is usually chosen by the groom (more of that later) couples tend to pick their wedding rings together to make sure they have something that to a certain extent matches and each like each others choices. After all if he hates your ring he won't be gazing at it very lovingly and vice versa. And if you force him into buying a ring he hates, he's very unlikely to be happy wearing it.
A good way to show each other a sign of commitment (yes we know marriage is a huge one) is to opt for a wedding ring set, where both rings match. Many stores such as Goldsmiths, Ernest Jones and Fraser Heart offer these sets.
However, if that's not to your taste then how about getting them made? You can then add things that mean something to you, for example, pick a stone that has some meaning, or perhaps choose to have a tiny flower engraved on the back, maybe one of the first types he gave you.
Alternatively you could opt for something unusual or antique, or even designing your own. Celtic rings are another popular style for contemporary weddings.
