Abstract: A ring with a shank and two or more sizing features. The shank defines an aperture for receiving a digit, such as a finger. The sizing features extend from the shank into the ring's aperture. The sizing features may be generally arcuate raised surfaces, humps, or bumps. The sizing features prevent a ring from undesirably turning, provide air spaces between a digit and the ring, and/or accommodate finger size fluctuations. The sizing features are spaced either equally or unequally around the ring's aperture. The sizing features may have widths that approximately match the shank's width, or widths less than the shank's width. Rings with the sizing features may be resized by polishing or grinding down the sizing features.
