34. How to fix a bent silver ring?
Fixing a bent silver ring depends on the severity of the damage. For minor bends, you can potentially reshape it yourself using two rubber-tipped pliers (to prevent scratching) and gentle, even pressure. Place the ring on a soft surface and carefully work it back to shape. For more significant damage or rings with stones, it's safer to consult a professional jeweler who has specialized tools and expertise. They can resize, reshape, and polish without risking further damage. Remember that repeatedly bending silver can eventually cause metal fatigue and potential breakage, so prevention—removing rings during activities that might impact them—is the best approach.
