  • Ring to be tightened
STEP 1
Place your ring guard into the opening of your band. Wrap one 'leg' of the guard around the band from the front and the other leg from the back. Adjust the guard up or down the band to the size ring you need.
STEP 2
Using chain-nose pliers, begin wrapping the first ''leg'' around the band. Repeat for the other leg.
STEP 3
Double check the size.
STEP 4
Continue wrapping one leg until it is wrapped completely around the band. Repeat for the other leg. Press gently on the end of each leg so they aren't sticking out from the band. Your ring guard is successfully in place.
