Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the hinged construction, initial sizing is critical; ensure you measure your finger correctly before wear to prevent stress on the joints. To maintain the appearance of the silver-tone finish, avoid exposing the ring to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or water, as these can accelerate tarnishing or degrade the plating. When not in use, store the ring in a dedicated jewelry box or the provided branded pouch to protect it from dust and scratches. Periodically check the hinges to ensure no debris has collected between the segments.
