Finger Mate Ring Shanks
Fed up with painfully forcing rings over your knuckle just to get it on and off? Does your ring twist easily or flop to the side once it’s on your finger? Let Juniker Jewelry Co. solve your problems by installing a Finger Mate hinged ring shank. We are one of the only jewelers in Jackson that performs this service in-house as opposed to sending it away, keeping your special piece of jewelry safe in hands you know and trust.
The shank, which is the bottom half of the ring, is hinged and allows the ring to expand to fit over the knuckle then clasps securely and comfortably once on the finger. The Finger Mate shank opens automatically when the ring is pulled from the top and locks closed when its sides are squeezed together.
There are no buttons to push or any dangling flaps. The special safety spring allows the shank to open three to four sizes, but prevents it from opening fully; securing the ring from loss if the catch is not locked. Its two-position locking mechanism not only offers an extra margin of safety but also allows for a half-size adjustment should the ring become too tight on a particularly hot and muggy day in Mississippi.
Finger Mate shanks are available in a variety of widths and styles to accommodate almost any ring and are made of 14K gold and platinum exclusively. No steel springs or other base metal is ever used in the product.

The Perfect Engagement Ring
Ladies, there are several ways to go about getting exactly what you want when it comes to the perfect engagement ring. Sure, there are people out there who say, “If you really love him, you’ll love whatever ring he gets you.” But let’s face the facts, an engagement ring can be a lofty investment for him, and you are going to wear the ring everyday for the rest of your life! Nobody wants to relive Carrie’s moment on Sex and the City when she finds the repulsive ring Aidan first bought her.
If you’re bold and absolutely certain that you won’t scare away your beau in the process, think about dropping not-so-subtle hints. Print out a picture of the ring you are eying from the online catalog, and put it in the visor of his car or in a book he’s been reading. Some ladies have told us they even taped a picture to his bathroom mirror.
TheKnot.com reports that 79 percent of women help in the engagement ring process. You don’t necessarily have to choose THE ring on the shopping trip together, but pointing out cuts and bands you like can be very helpful for your mate.
At Juniker, we have several mounted styles readily available, but if you are craving a piece that is truly unique, we recommend separately choosing a diamond and setting. Buying this way also allows our skilled staff to create a ring that perfectly aligns with your preferences as well as your price range. For more guidance on choosing the best ring, be sure to stop by our store in Highland Village Monday through Saturday between 9:30am and 6pm or give us a call at 601-366-3754 or 1-800-796-3754. We’d love to help!
