Abstract: One or more ring re-sizing attachments are appended to the internal circumference of a ring band so that a ring band large enough to pass over a knuckle remains comfortably fit around the finger below the knuckle. Each attachment includes a base defining an internal volume surrounded by a raised wall. A button slidingly engaged in the base internal volume defines an inner volume, and one or more springs are held in the button inner volume. As the one or more springs are compressed, the button moves into the internal volume of the base, increasing the space within the band to move the band beyond a knuckle. Once the band is beyond the knuckle, the spring(s) urge the button upwardly, causing the lips of the button to contact ledges or lips projecting from the sidewall of the base, to tighten the fit of the ring band around the finger.
