Rings and Everyday Wear
All rings tend to deform over time because our hands are constantly in use throughout the day, often without us noticing. Unlike earrings or necklaces, rings are exposed to numerous impacts and pressures, whether we're aware of it or not. Even the most durable metals have their limits, so it’s important to understand and respect those limits to help preserve the longevity of your jewelry.
Mara Paris Open Rings
Open-shaped rings offer a captivating, modern design that stands out, but they also come with specific practical considerations due to their structure.
Beware of Unexpected Snags
The open ends of these rings can easily catch on fabrics, hair, or other objects, leading to unintentional pulls or stress on the metal. Over time, repeated snags can weaken the ring’s structure, making it more prone to bending or damage. While they add a unique design element, open-shaped rings require more mindful wear and regular care to maintain their beauty and durability.
Gradual Wear and Tear
Often, we don’t notice the gradual wear rings experience until they suddenly break. This might not be the result of a single incident but rather the accumulation of repeated impacts and pressure over time. Although the ring may have initially withstood these stresses, ongoing exposure weakens the metal, eventually leading to a break. The sudden failure is caused by these unnoticed, repeated stresses.
Our Open Rings Are Not Adjustable
One common issue we see is the frequent adjustment of open rings to resize them for different fingers or to accommodate seasonal changes in hand size. We strongly advise against this, as Mara Paris open rings are designed to be non-adjustable because metals like silver and gold lack elasticity.
Although it may seem easy to manipulate these metals based on their design, doing so compromises the ring’s structural integrity, making it more susceptible to damage or breakage. We recommend exchanging your ring for the correct size before use rather than attempting to adjust it. This ensures the durability and longevity of your jewelry.
If you experience significant fluctuations in finger size, we recommend alternating between different rings based on the day or season. This way, you can comfortably enjoy your jewelry throughout the year without compromising the fit or risking damage to the rings.
