Rings are one of the oldest jewelry that carries a certain symbolism for the owner. Many believe that a blessed ring protects against harm, while others wear jewelry to complement their image. Rings are an integral part of memorable events in a person's life, such as engagement and marriage.
During wear, the shape of the jewelry may change under the influence of external factors. Most often it bends and takes the shape of an oval.
In almost all cases, the product can be “saved,” so do not rush to part with jewelry that has lost its shape.
The “Save and Preserve” ring has burst - what is this for?
Many people are interested in why the ring breaks. Since ancient times, silver and gold products “Save and Preserve” have protected wearers from life’s adversities and otherworldly forces.
It is believed that if the “Save and Save” ring is cracked, the owner may face health problems in his personal life or at work.
Signs about broken rings give different interpretations of what happened. However, a church attribute can break under the influence of negative energy that comes from the wearer or from ill-wishers.
If a silver ring on your finger bursts, this may serve as a signal of infidelity or insincerity on the part of your significant other. According to the sign, when a breakdown is detected, you need to pay attention to the behavior of your partner. Such a step will save the owner of the ring from lies and betrayal of a loved one.
Broken wedding ring: signs
A wedding ring is considered a family talisman, so spouses should wear it with respect. Modern people pay special attention to the wedding attribute no less than their ancestors. The ring is the personification of relationships , so if it breaks, troubles can befall the family.
According to signs, if a woman’s wedding ring is cracked, her husband may have another relationship on the side. Because of superstition, spouses begin to throw tantrums and spoil their relationship with their partner, after which a break in the relationship cannot be avoided.
Therefore, it is not recommended to take signs to heart
Representatives of the stronger sex are more practical by nature. In the case when a gold wedding ring on a man’s finger breaks, they do not attach much importance to it. In some cases, husbands may suspect something is wrong in the relationship, however, they try to do everything possible to restore harmony and love to the family.
In fact, there is nothing terrible about breaking a wedding or engagement ring; this event also has a positive interpretation. A cracked product may mean the appearance of some changes in the lives of the spouses, and not direct evidence of infidelity or betrayal.
How are teeth repaired?
If the prongs are simply bent, the jeweler will straighten them. If one or two teeth are broken or worn, they may need to be reinstalled. This means that the jeweler will remove the stone, remove the old prong (or what’s left of it) and put a new one in its place, securing it with soldering.
This option is most often suitable for modern rings. A new prong installed in place of the old one will, however, be weaker than the original, and therefore you should carefully monitor it in the future.
If more than one or two prongs are problematic, the jeweler may replace the entire setting. This is usually done with older rings. Generally, replacing the entire frame instead of individual prongs will ensure that the new prongs will last longer.
Signs if the ring is bent
According to signs, rings on fingers bend due to the fact that the wearer has ill-wishers. However, there is currently another explanation for this damage. Mostly, jewelry becomes deformed due to strong pressure or high temperature. This is especially true for gold jewelry, since the metal is very soft and ductile. Therefore, wedding rings often lose their shape.
You can also dent a gold item during physical activity. Therefore, we recommend removing jewelry before sports. Sometimes rings can become wrinkled from too much force during cleaning, be careful.

I tried to straighten my wife’s gold ring; after ten years of wear, it began to resemble a real oval. The material is soft enough, you can even bend it in your hands, but you can’t achieve a perfect circle. It still requires skill and tools. As a result, I took it to the experts, and everything was fixed in half an hour.

I was walking home from work, the ring jumped off my finger and landed right at my feet! She stepped on him and immediately pulled her foot back, but it was too late. The ring was so bent that I almost burst into tears on the spot. Engagement ring! I went to the Internet for advice for people like me. I found instructions on how to align the ring at home and showed it to my father. It’s so good that dad has golden hands! I was able to return the ring to its original shape using a rubber hammer and an iron cone. The ring is on my finger again.
How to align a ring at home?
In order to straighten a gold ring with your own hands, you need to purchase a cylindrical or cone-shaped object: a marker, a camera tripod, or a comb handle. This item needs to be the right size for your finger. Place the ring on the selected item, wrap it in several layers of fabric and roll it over a wooden surface. The process is slow and will take a lot of time.
If you doubt whether you can straighten a gold ring yourself, it is best to take the jewelry to a jewelry workshop. You can find out from the specialist how much it costs to straighten a ring and how long it will take to do it. The approximate range is from 300 to 1000 rubles, depending on the complexity of the work.
Is it possible to wear a cracked ring?
Many people continue to wear a broken ring, but this is not recommended. According to signs, chips and cracks can harm the owner of the jewelry. They will bring mental turmoil and negatively affect the physical condition of the body.
Also, do not store damaged rings at home. It is best to get rid of such jewelry, and valuable jewelry can be sent for repair or restored yourself. And then, do not forget about the decorative function of decoration. A cracked ring looks unpresentable and can spoil the impression of its wearer.
The gold ring became very deformed on my finger literally overnight!
A guy proposed to me and gave me a ring a month ago. I wore it for a month practically without taking it off, yesterday I took something off, I looked, and it was slightly bent in one direction. I thought it was because of the position and pressure of my fingers when I write. In the evening I put the ring back on, but on the other side. Now I’m taking it off and it’s just horribly bent! As if they were twisting it with pliers! It’s even strange that it’s still holding up and hasn’t broken! I've had gold rings before, but never had such a problem! What could be the reason. By the way, the gold is not red, but lemon, bought in Europe. Maybe this is the reason?
Maybe it's not gold at all. )))
Take it to a jewelry store and have them give you an appraisal.
Most likely, it is not gold. Show the ring to the jeweler
New features and design have appeared for the version of the Woman.ru Forum on computers. Tell us, what are your impressions of the changes?
most likely it is empty inside, so it bends easily
Not gold. Definitely. When my husband proposed to me, he gave me a ring. The ring is thin, 2 mm thick, but it did not bend, I wore it without taking it off, but it was perfect and remained so.
the man gave you a nice ring hihi
This is fake, author. There is not an ounce of gold here. Take it to a jeweler and have him look at it. And MCH, excuse me, is a mug. It is unlikely that he wanted to offend you, and most likely he himself did not know that this would happen. But they learn from mistakes. Be careful in future.
I have two thin gold rings, but they have never bent. take it to the jeweler and let him see what you have
And I read that it is gold without impurities that is very soft and bends easily, and what makes it so durable in jewelry is due to impurities, but they are added in a certain percentage. The standard of gold depends on this; in some places there are more of them, but the value is less, but the strength is higher, and in others the value is greater as the metal itself, but it is also soft. So it could be a fake, or vice versa, with good intentions I bought a more expensive ring, which turned out to be made of soft gold, which is not intended for everyday wear. The guy himself probably didn’t know.
No. 1. Is it possible to make a silver ring smaller?
You are asked to reduce a silver ring in three cases: you inherited a family heirloom that you cannot wear due to its size; you have lost weight; You bought the wrong thing in an online store without trying it on.
By the way, since TopGrant.ru offers an assortment of 14,000 rings (more than in any Russian jewelry store), some rings are the only ones of their kind in Moscow. Therefore, they are bought even in the wrong size - in order to reduce the size of the silver ring after and wear it.
Silver straightening
Description: Cleaning and restoration of coins, candlesticks and other items made of various metals
Sometimes you come across silver items that, for a number of reasons, have undergone deformation. This can be a bent silver cross or a coin or any other product. When such an object is unbent, cracks remain on it or it simply breaks. What needs to be done with a silver item in order to straighten it without damaging it? To begin with, the higher the percentage of silver in the product, the greater the likelihood of it being straightened without damage. It is much easier to bend a product made of pure silver than a product made from the same billon (Billon coins (from the French billon) are inferior (change, credit) coins, whose purchasing power exceeds the value of the metal contained in them]. In a narrower sense - coins , in which the content of the noble metal (gold or silver) is a smaller part, and the larger part is the ligature. An even narrower meaning is silver coins of 500 and below fineness, where the ligature metal, as a rule, is copper). And so, we begin the straightening process.
1) First, the product must be thoroughly cleaned of patina and other contaminants.
During the straightening process, corrosion products can weaken the metal, leading to its failure. 2) Place the product in the oven and heat it to 180 degrees. The product must be heated gradually, so the oven must first be cold. The oven is needed to preheat the product, so it is advisable not to skip this step. 3) As soon as the product heats up, take it out of the oven and, using a blowtorch or, at worst, a gas burner, heat it to a temperature of 450 degrees (the product should become a soft pink color). If the product has acquired a cherry-red color, there is a danger of overheating and there is a possibility that it will become even more deformed. Wait for the coin to cool slightly until it turns pinkish. 4) Place the product in cold water until it cools completely. 5) The piece is now fired and ready to be straightened. To straighten the product, place it on a hard surface and lightly press on the fold. If the product is completely bent in half, then use a plastic card; for thick products, a knife. Do not try to straighten the product immediately; best results are achieved by straightening it 1 mm after each annealing. If you notice that the product has cracks, it is better to stop any manipulations with it. 6) If necessary, repeat manipulations 2-5 until the product is completely straightened. 7) Heat the straightened product in the oven, clamp it between planks and place it under a load until it cools completely. This is necessary to relieve internal tension. If necessary, we restore the patina using any available method.
What can you repair yourself?
Without gold, some girls simply do not leave the house. Be sure to wear rings, bracelets, and chains. If the beads are torn, it is easy to fix the damage at home. You need a strong thread or fishing line, onto which we carefully string the beads, observing the original order, so as not to disturb the color or size range.
Another popular failure: “the gold chain is broken.” This problem can also be helped by repairing the gold thing with your own hands. But there are several specific points that need to be taken into account when repairing. You can repair a gold chain yourself, but you will need:
- special gold solder (it could just be a piece of an old earring or other chain, but only gold);
- a thin steel needle (an ordinary sewing needle, which should easily pass through a chain link);
- small vice;
- tweezers;
- asbestos sheet;
- small wire cutters;
- gas-burner;
- blowpipe;
- needle file
The technology is as follows: we put an asbestos sheet on the table and make repairs on it - so that there is no fire. We clamp the gold chain in a vise and use a needle to connect the links. We heat the place where the parts of the chain come into contact with a burner, directing the flame through a blowpipe. And we do this until the gold begins to glow. Place a small piece of gold (solder) into the soldering area with tweezers. The temperature will cause it to melt and spread over the joint. Next, let it cool and carefully remove the excess with nippers and a file. The chain is ready for use.
Repairing a gold item yourself cannot always restore it to its former appearance and beauty. In addition, if you are not confident in your skills and are not very dexterous with a soldering iron or a needle file (the work is delicate), then the direct route to the workshops.
