Raakhi,

    Sizing beads are two round beads of metal placed at approximately 5
    o'clock and 7 o'clock on the inside of the band. They are often used
    for people who's knuckles are large and need a bigger size to get
    over the knuckle but need the ring tighter once it goes over (so it
    doesn't flop around). But they can also be used to make a ring
    smaller. Most people don't object to them.
