In this article, we will cover the pros and cons of turning a wedding ring or pair into a necklace. We will also provide practical information on turning a ring into a necklace. If you feel that your husband or wife is wearing a ring as a necklace, rather than on the finger, and are a little confused, then reading the following will surely brighten your mind.

 

The benefits and significance of using a ring as a necklace

 

The benefits of turning a ring into a necklace

 

◆ You can wear a ring even when you are not allowed to wear a ring.

 

Depending on the job or industry, wearing a wedding ring in the workplace may be prohibited, or not wearing a wedding ring may be considered good etiquette. For example, jobs in the medical field or the food and beverage industry are often considered not allowed because they require hand and finger hygiene at all times. Even in sales and customer service jobs, some people choose not to wear rings because of the impression they make on those around them.

However, if these people turn the ring into a necklace, they can secretly wear it every day. If you wear a necklace under your clothes, it's likely to go unnoticed, depending on what you're wearing. This is the last resort for those who think, "I can't wear a ring on my finger at work because of my career, but I want to wear it on my body because it has a significant meaning."

 

◆ Even people who don't like the ring can wear it.

 

This may not be appealing to people who have a habit of wearing rings regularly, but there are many people in the world who are annoyed by the feeling of a ring tightening their finger. Especially for men, there are many people who find it difficult to adjust because the wedding ring or matching ring is the first ring in their life.

When these people think, "I'm not good at wearing a ring, but I still want to wear it," turning the ring into a necklace can be an effective option. If you want to give the ring to your partner who doesn't like the ring, you might as well give the necklace with the ring.

 

◆ Hard to lose

Wedding rings and pairs are important things, so losing them can be a huge shock. However, many people have heard of losing their ring, such as taking it off in the bathroom while out and leaving it behind, or not knowing where it is because something knocked it off. However, if the ring is worn with a chain or string to make a necklace, the risk of losing the ring is at least lower than wearing it directly. People who are clumsy and forgetful often wear rings as necklaces to prevent them from being lost.

 

◆ The size is not suitable to wear

 

Wedding rings and pairs are said to last a lifetime. However, it is not uncommon for ring size to change with body shape due to diseases, changes in eating habits, aging and other reasons. Some jewelry stores will adjust the ring size for you, but depending on the design and material of the ring, it may not be possible to adjust the size. Even if your wedding ring or pair cannot be resized, you can turn the ring into a necklace and wear it as before.

 

Disadvantages of turning a ring into a necklace

 

We've covered the benefits of turning a ring into a necklace, but that's not the only benefit. When the ring is worn directly on the chain to make a necklace, it often happens that when the ring moves, the chain will create friction with the ring, which will cause small scratches on the inside of the ring. If a name or message is engraved on the inside of the ring, the friction of the chain can cause the inscription to fade or disappear. This is a big disadvantage.

 

If you do not want to damage the precious ring, we recommend that you use a ring retainer to turn the ring into a necklace. A ring holder is an item used to connect a ring to a necklace chain. With the ring retainer, there is no need to pass the ring directly through the necklace, reducing the risk of scratches on the inside of the ring. Another benefit is that the ring retainer firmly holds the ring in place, making it difficult to lose.

 

 

How to choose a string or chain when turning a ring into a necklace

When turning a ring into a necklace, the most troublesome thing is deciding what kind of string or chain to choose. Here's how to choose the recommended necklace chain or necklace string when turning a ring into a necklace.

 

◆ Choose materials that are the same or similar in color and texture to the ring

 

The simplest and most standard method is to choose a chain of the same material and color as the ring. This is because it does not cause discomfort easily. It is also important to choose a chain with the same texture as the ring. Before buying a chain, be sure to confirm whether the ring is smooth or matte.

If you plan to purchase the chain for your necklace at a jewelry store, we recommend that you bring the ring in person to check the color and texture of the chain. In addition, when buying rings at the same time as the chain, if you choose a ring with a similar material, color and texture, it is difficult to go wrong.

 

◆ Choose your favorite color leather strap

 

If you're afraid you'll get a scratch if you put your ring on a chain, or if you're allergic to metal and can't wear a chain, why not try a leather strap instead? Because the leather strap is made of animal skin and is soft, it is said that it is not easy to damage the ring. The color of the leather strap is also richer than the chain, you can choose your favorite color of the leather strap.

However, because the leather strap is easily affected by moisture such as sweat, there is also a disadvantage, that is, in the season when you often sweat, the color of the leather strap may transfer to your skin or clothing. In addition, if the leather strap is worn for a long time, it is easy to age due to friction with the skin, causing it to become dirty or thin. If you use a leather strap as a necklace, replace it regularly with a new strap.

 

What kind of wedding ring is suitable for wearing as a necklace?

If you want to turn your wedding ring or matching ring into a necklace, we recommend that you choose a ring made of a high-hardness material. For example, platinum (Pt900-950) or gold (18K) will do.

In addition, when worn as a necklace, the ring will be subjected to some friction, which may cause the plating on the ring to fall off. If you want to wear your wedding ring as a necklace, choose a non-plated wedding ring.

In addition, if the wedding ring or pair ring is made into a necklace, the design of the side of the ring will be more prominent than the front. Even if the ring has a specific pattern, depending on the location of the pattern, wearing it on the necklace may become unrecognizable. If you want to turn your wedding ring into a necklace, we recommend that you choose a design that has a carving or gemstone on the side of the ring, or a design that covers the entire ring.

 

Making the ring into a necklace is also a good way to wear it.

Make a wedding ring or matching ring into a necklace that can be easily worn even by people whose work does not allow them to wear rings. In addition, compared with wearing as a ring, you do not have to worry about losing, even if your body shape changes, you can enjoy the charm of the necklace in a new way.
