Ring CH-16865 - Gold/55mm

Important Safety Notice for Men's 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 men's rings (steel, titanium, silver, gold, tungsten/carbide, ceramic, adjustable, signet, and stone-set). Due to possible sharp edges of settings, small parts, skin contact, and risk of catching, please follow the guidelines 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 and claws, sharp edges, joints, and any adjustable parts; do not use a damaged ring.
• Risk of catching: Rings with protrusions and bulky signet models should not be worn during sports, machine work, lifting loads, or handling textiles – risk of skin tearing (ring avulsion) and injury.
• Temperature and conductivity: Metal can quickly heat up or cool down when touching hot/cold surfaces; avoid extremes and contact with electrical parts.

Proper and Safe Use

• Correct size: The ring should fit comfortably – it must not press significantly or slip off freely. Remove the ring if fingers swell (heat, exertion).
• 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, working with cleaners, oils, and cosmetics; 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, avoiding impacts.
• Stone settings: Regularly check claws and settings; have loose stones professionally secured.
• Storage: Store separately in a case or pouch, dry and out of 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, finger injury, or sudden pain occurs; seek professional help if removal is not possible.

Disposal

• Safe disposal: Hand over metal parts for metal recycling; sort other 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), immediately stop using the product. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint processing.
