Ever Changing Ring Size?

Independent research shows that 70% of all women will benefit from the self-sizing feature whether weight or the consequences of arthritis. Additionally, the FOREVERFIT™ can be a boon during pregnancy.

Arthritis? Loss of Manual Dexterity?

Superior “ease of use!” Simply slips on and slips off. No small parts to manipulate, pinch, or break off. Arthritis limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing and bathing for more than 7 million Americans and is the leading cause of disability among people over age 15!

Sizing?

No complicated sizing required. FOREVERFIT™ recommends a standard measurement over the knuckle, especially if knuckle growth is anticipated. The Ease of Use of the FOREVERFIT™ embraces all aspects; sizing, installation AND wearing. Simply the Best!

Increased Diamond Sales?

The FOREVERFIT™ offers one more option and may even calm the sea of confusingly similar Diamond rings, the ForeverFit™ shank offers your customers obvious benefits that will set your rings apart from the competition, winning you increased sales.

Sense of Security?

Because the FOREVERFIT™ doesn't rely on latches or friction catches there is nothing to come loose or detached. Precious rings can’t come open unexpectedly causing loss of a valuable stone or heirloom. Not only will your customer feel more secure, you will not encounter the ire of a customer and a potential liability!

Durability?

FOREVERFIT™ is Extremely Durable! The mechanism does not wear out. Unlike some competing products, FOREVERFIT™ does not rely on the abrasion of soft gold as part of a locking mechanism. Spring tension is supplied by stainless steel instead of much softer precious metal which can relax in time. The precision parts glide past each other easily with little or no wear.

Samples?

A sterling silver & CZ demonstration solitaire with display stand and advertising materials is available directly from Reller for a nominal charge of $30.

How to Purchase?

All sizes and metals are available directly from Reller. Most commonly used sizes are available from major findings suppliers: Stuller, Seattle Findings & Supply Center, Roseco, R-Findings, Crown Findings, Jewelers’ Stockroom, Jewel-Craft and Central Findings.

		Tech Tips for Jewelers
		Reller’s FOREVERFIT™ self-sizing shank is about as easy to install as “half shanking” any ring. Simply measure your customer’s ring size normally (a comfortable slide over the knuckle allows for a little future growth). Next, if necessary, reshape the customer’s ring to this ring size and remove the bottom of the shank at the point where the cross section best matches the FOREVERFIT™ (Available widths- 2.5mm, 4mm or 6mm). Remove the corresponding top section of the FOREVERFIT™, solder the customer’s ring top to the FOREVERFIT™ shank and polish the joint. It’s as simple as that!


		No solder is used in the original construction of the FOREVERFIT™ so the mechanism won’t “freeze up.” The Stainless Steel spring “floats” under the cradle and may be removed during the soldering process, or you can protect it as you would a sensitive stone, with Kool Jool or wet tissue. Do not compress the spring while soldering, as this concentrates the heat. The stainless steel spring is not affected by a brief immersion in the pickle solution. Note: The FOREVERFIT™ components are a precision fit; so do not attempt to alter the FOREVERFIT™ shape before or after assembly. Encourage your customer to come in frequently for a “FREE ULTRASONIC CLEANING!” and avoid loading up the mechanism with soap, soil, grime and dirt. Down the road, complete disassembly of the FOREVERFIT™ is easy. The .021 pins used in the assembly are a press fit. They may be pressed out with a mini arbor press or simply reverse a #77 or smaller drill bit in the chuck of a small drill press. Leave about a ¼” or less of the drill shank extending, and presto — you have an arbor press for this and other similar tasks around the shop. The pins may be replaced with wire drawn full hard to .021, tapered for insertion, and then trimmed flush. A little burnishing helps “rivet” the pin in place the second time around. Springs may be removed and reshaped to increase or decrease tension, as desired. When replacing a spring be certain that the ends are polished smooth with no sharp edges to hang up. Replacement springs and component parts are available from your supplier or directly from Reller. Display Tips A sample FOREVERFIT™ CZ Solitaire in Sterling Silver is available from your supplier or Reller at a nominal charge. The sample comes with a mahogany ring stand and counter display for $30. Otherwise, a FOREVERFIT™ Self Sizing Ring is very effectively displayed by reversing a standard “finger” type ring stand and loosely sliding on the FOREVERFIT™ showing the mechanism in action.

	Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis affects an estimated 21 million adults. It’s a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage that covers the ends of bones in the joint deteriorates, causing pain and loss of movement as bone begins to rub against bone. It is the most prevalent form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, has been misnamed 'wear and tear' arthritis Osteoarthritis commonly affects the joints of the fingers, knees, hips, and spine. Work-related repetitive injury and physical trauma may contribute to the development of Osteoarthritis. Working with your hands as a Jeweler or metal smith may place you at high risk for Osteoarthritis of the fingers. Osteoarthritis of the fingers is often genetic. Fingers may ache or become stiff and numb. They can become enlarged and gnarled. Small, bony bumps called Heberden's nodes may also appear on the end joints of the fingers. Similar knobs called Bouchard's nodes can appear on the middle joints of the fingers. It has been documented that more women than men have Osteoarthritis of their fingers. After menopause, women become especially susceptible to Osteoarthritis. The most common symptoms include: · Steady or intermittent pain in a joint. · Stiffness after periods of inactivity, such as sleeping or sitting. · Swelling or tenderness in 1 or more joints. · Crunching feeling or sound of bone rubbing on bone (called crepitus) when the joint is used.
	Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the joint lining becomes inflamed as part of the body’s immune system activity. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most serious and disabling types, affecting mostly women. It’s mainly characterized by inflammation of the lining of the joints. It can lead to long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function and disability. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) progresses in three stages. The first stage is the swelling of the joint lining, causing pain, warmth, stiffness, redness and swelling around the joint. Second is the rapid division and growth of cells, which causes the lining to thicken. In the third stage, the inflamed cells release enzymes that may digest bone and cartilage, often causing the involved joint to lose its shape and alignment, more pain, and loss of movement. Because it is a chronic disease, RA continues indefinitely and may not go away. Frequent flares in disease activity can occur. RA is a systemic disease, which means it can affect other organs in the body. Early diagnosis and treatment of RA is critical if you want to continue living a productive lifestyle. Studies have shown that early aggressive treatment of RA can limit joint damage, which in turn limits loss of movement, decreased ability to work, higher medical costs and potential surgery. RA affects 1 percent of the U.S. population or 2.1 million Americans. Currently, the cause of RA is unknown, although there are several theories. And while there is no cure, it is easier than ever to control RA through the use of new drugs, exercise, joint protection techniques and self-management techniques. While there is no good time to have rheumatoid arthritis, advancements in research and drug development means that more people with RA are living happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. Performing such simple tasks as opening a pill bottle to take your pain reliever can be very difficult. What were people thinking of when they designed some of these bottles? This needs to be borne in mind when selecting or designing an adjustable shank. If the mechanism is difficult, it can be very painful to operate.
	From a paper presented by Mr.Fred Klotz, Director of Findings at Hoover & Strong. 2005 Santa Fe Symposium®. The Premier International Conference on Jewelry Manufacturing Technology

	Adjustable rings have been around since the nineteenth century. A design by R.J. La Grange was patented on September 5, 1882. Most adjustable rings, then and now, rely on variations on common themes; latches, catches, and hinges. For arthritic hands manipulation can be both frustrating and fruitless. Heirlooms become pretty trinkets rather than remain treasured jewelry. We believe the simplicity of the FOREVERFIT™ Self Sizing Shank makes it an ideal solution for arthritis sufferers and others. Who are the others? Individuals, both women and men who experience significant weight gain and loss can gain just as arthritis sufferers. Athletes, who have suffered significant joint injuries can benefit from FOREVERFIT™. Even a new bride anticipating pregnancy can benefit from the easy to use features of the FOREVERFIT™ Self Sizing Shank as her body adjusts.
