Bishop Bumps: A Quick Guide

Bishop bumps, also known as sizing bumps or speed bumps, are small metal balls or nodules that are placed on the inside of a ring to adjust its fit. These bumps can help prevent the ring from spinning and ensure a more secure fit.

Purpose

Bishop bumps serve several purposes:

  • Prevents Spinning: They help hold the ring in place, preventing it from turning or sliding around on your finger.
  • Anchors Top-Heavy Rings: If a ring has a large or heavy setting, bishop bumps can provide extra weight to keep it stable on your finger.

Comfort

  • What to Expect: Initially, bishop bumps may feel a little unusual, but most customers get used to the sensation. They become more comfortable over time as your finger adjusts.

  • Potential Discomfort: Some users with larger knuckles or fingers prone to swelling may find them uncomfortable. If your knuckle is over 1.5 sizes larger than your finger, bishop bumps may not be the best option for you.

Removal

Semi-Permanent Solution: While bishop bumps are not a permanent solution, they can be easily removed or adjusted by a jeweler without affecting the overall integrity of the ring. Removal restores the ring to its original form.
