Claims20
A ring protector for protecting a ring worn upon a finger of a user, the ring protector comprising:
- a protective band at least partially formed from an elastic material adapted to stretch to an expanded configuration to permit a user to pass the protective band over the ring and to contract to a contracted configuration, wherein the protective band encircles the ring to protect the ring and to aid in holding the ring upon the finger;
- and
- a safety mesh coupled to a recess disposed in the protective band to at least partially house a stone attached to the ring.
A ring protector for protecting a ring worn upon a finger of a user, the ring protector comprising:
- a protective band adapted to be worn about an outer surface of a ring worn upon a finger of a user to encircle the ring and hold the ring upon the finger, the protective band having a predetermined width selected to exceed a width of the ring such that the protective band engages the portion of the finger disposed adjacent the ring, and wherein at least a portion of the protective band is made from an elastic material for applying a compression force upon a portion of the finger disposed adjacent the ring, the compression force directed radially inward about a circumference of the finger to aid in holding the ring upon the finger;
- and
- a safety mesh coupled to a recess disposed in the protective band to at least partially house a stone attached to the ring.
A ring protector for protecting a ring worn upon a finger of a user, the ring protector comprising:

- (b) a safety mesh coupled to a recess disposed in the protective band to at least partially house a stone attached to the ring;
- (c) an at least partially translucent panel coupled to the protective band permitting the user to at least partially view the ring through the at least partially translucent panel when the ring protector is in the contracted configuration;
- and
- (d) wherein the protective band is a continuous band absent of a fastening assembly for permitting adjacent ends of the protective band to be separated from one another during donning and then reattached to one another during use.
