Hello Jessee,

    If you have access to a copy of Alan Revere's "Ring Repair" check out
    Chapter 7, p.73.  He calls them "sizing beads".  I tried it on a test
    ring of mine just to see how they feel and as long as they're not too
    big you don't really notice them at all.  For most of us the palm
    side of our fingers are a bit fleshy so the beads just settle in and
    do their thing relatively unobtrusively.
