Important Safety Notice for Unisex Rings in Compliance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on General Product Safety (GPSR)

This is a targeted safety notice for the correct and safe use of unisex rings (steel, titanium, silver, gold, tungsten/carbide, ceramic, silicone, adjustable, with stones and moving parts). Due to possible sharp edges of settings, small parts, skin contact, and risk of catching, please follow the instructions below.

Basic Safety and Handling Principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Rings and removable parts (stones, rings) may pose a swallowing hazard; the product is not a toy.
• Check before wearing: Inspect stone settings/prongs, sharp edges, joints, and any adjustable parts; do not use a damaged ring.
• Risk of catching: Do not wear rings with protrusions during sports, machine work, lifting loads, or handling textiles – risk of skin tearing (ring avulsion) and injury.
• Temperature and conductivity: Metal can heat up or cool down quickly; avoid contact with extremely hot or cold surfaces.

Proper and Safe Use

• Correct size: The ring should fit comfortably – it must not press significantly nor slip off freely. Remove the ring if fingers swell (heat, exertion, injury).
• Adjustable rings: Bend only within the range recommended by the manufacturer; excessive bending may cause cracking.
• Water and chemicals: Remove the ring before showering, swimming, and working with cleaners/oils; chlorine, salt, and chemicals accelerate wear and corrosion.
• Manual activities and sports: Do not wear the ring during exercise, tool work, and contact sports to avoid deformation and injury.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• Cleaning by material: Wipe steel/titanium/tungsten with a soft damp cloth and dry; polish silver with a soft cloth; clean gold and plated surfaces gently without abrasives; clean ceramic gently; wash silicone with water and mild soap.
• Stone settings: Regularly check prongs and settings; have loose stones professionally secured.
• Storage: Store separately in a case or pouch, dry and away from direct sunlight; avoid contact with hard objects that may scratch the surface.

Specific Health Warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Some metals (e.g., nickel) and adhesives may cause reactions; if redness, itching, or swelling occurs, remove the ring and consult a doctor if necessary.
• Swelling and circulation: Remove the ring as soon as possible if fluid retention or sudden swelling occurs; if removal is not possible, seek professional help.

Disposal

• Safe disposal: Deliver metal parts to metal recycling; sort ceramic and plastic components according to local regulations. Wrap small parts to prevent risk to children and animals.

Incidents and Contact

• In case of an incident (allergic reaction, injury from catching, significant finger swelling), stop using the product immediately. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint handling.
