Jewellery solutions for loose rings, tricky clasps and nickel intolerance!

Ring Guard Solution - $7.95 - my solution to rings that are too big has been to wrap some scotch tape around the band, which isn't the most comfortable thing but other then taking it in to be resized, I didn't realize there was any other option.  But there is and it's very easy to use, you just apply a small amount of the gel to the inside of the band and it dries clear and soft in about three hours.  It withstands water and will stay in place for months.  When you want to remove it, it just peels off.  It's also helpful to ease the pinching of clip on earrings!  Available from: http://www.luc-co.com/ring-accessories/ring-guard-solution---clear and they ship internationally.
Clever Clasp - $14.95 - I discovered this during a late night TV infomercial and promptly bought a set for my mother who has arthritis and was complaining that she can never do up her own necklaces and braclets!  The kit contains silver and gold clasps as well as extenders.  You can find them on the As Seen on TV sites and I also recently saw it at Walmart.
Nickel Solution - $19.99 - Here's a clever kit that will let you test for nickel and then protect your skin from it!  I didn't realize just how many people are allergic to nickel until someone asked me if I knew of anything that would do what this kit does - once I went looking, I was amazed at how many websites there are about nickel allergy!  You can order this kit online, and they will ship internationally:

  2. I tried some kind of the nickel polish years ago, but unfortunately it wore out very fast :-(.

    I would be interested to hear if anybody has actual experiences with this product, of course I am really not willing to pay 20 bucks unless it really works significantly better than clear nail polish! ;-)

    But that ring guard solution sounds great!

  7. That ring guard sounds AMAZING! I am always wrapping thread around my rings to make them fit smaller. Oh, the joys of having small fingers.
