Sterling rings & bails for gluing–exclusively at Rings & Things

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

You asked for it, and we listened!  By (very) popular request, you can now buy sterling “glue-on” adjustable rings and oval bails — exclusively at Rings & Things.  Glue on your favorite art bead, upcycled found object, or polymer clay creation.

Our new customizable finger rings are sterling silver, 1 to 1.5mm thick. Their glue pad is a textured 7 to 8mm round.  Adjust them to almost any size!  It’s easy to expand and contract these rings to size them.  They come in two styles:

Here’s the “plain” disk finger ring for gluing (item #51-500-02). It’s a 3 to 3.5mm-wide band.

And this is the “wavy” adjustable ring (item #51-500-01).  It’s a hammered-disk finger ring for gluing, with a 3-3.5mm wide band. 

We’ve also added three great exclusive sterling oval bails for gluing.  These have one side smooth, the other textured, and they come in three sizes:
Item #41-592-50 is our small sterling oval bail.  It measures approximately 18 x 8 x 3.6mm.  (By the way, you can convert these numbers to inches…but on most computer screens our item pictures are life-size.)  The gluing surface is 11×8mm. This small bail fits chain or cord up to 2.5mm thick.
The other two sizes of these bails fit chain or cord up to 3mm thick.  Shown above is item #41-552-51, the medium oval bail.  This one measures approximately 24 x 10 x 4mm, with a 16 x 10mm gluing pad. Below is #41-592-52, our large sterling silver oval bail, at approximately 31 x 13 x 4mm. The gluing pad on it is 21 x 13mm.

To attach items to all of these gluable findings, we recommend using 2-part epoxies.  Other adhesives that work well with these rings and bails include:

  • E-6000 glue
  • Super New Glue
