When Warlene Smith of Halls, Tenn., found it difficult to put on her rings because of arthritis, she took matters into her own hands. At 89 years old, she began making stretchy rings, just as beautiful and much more comfortable.
“I have been crafting for the past 40 years,” Smith says. “I make my own beads from which I make necklaces, earrings and bracelets.”
Featured in all different colors, Warlene has added her stretchy rings to the jewelry mix. Some of them are decorated with Austrian crystals she purchased while visiting Florida, while others have beautiful swirled colors. Smith sells her Austrian crystal rings for $10 each, or $15 with a pair of matching earrings. Rings without crystals are $5 each, plus shipping and handling.
For more information on the rings and ordering information, contact Warlene at smithwarlene@att.net.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in my fingers and hands and osteoporosis in my wrists. I bet this stretch form of jewelry would be a type of jewelry that I could wear.
Also love handmade jewelry and crafts. I have osteoarthritis in my hands and use to create and make some jewelry and crafts but due to the pain I am limited to my work… But no one can appreciate handmade items more than I do, unless they have done them. It is a trait on its on…
I am also a crafter and love anything handmade. There is much joy in creating. Merry Christmas!
I would love to win,to show all my family and friends daily,like you said cant just wear any ring all the time when you have arthritis.would be very special cause i couldnt have one any other way,my grand babies has to have what i made,dont have much to spend for myself,thank u for giving us a chance
I would enjoy the ease of putting on one of these pretty rings.
