Best Answer

Depends on what type of jewelry you have in it.

Barbell- screw off the ball end

Seamless ring- open with pliers or ring openers

Captive Ball Ring- You probably have one of these. Open slowly with pliers and be ready to catch the ball bc it will fall out

Pliers are fine to open a ring but not to close them. When you open the ring, put the end of your new jewelry on the end of the ring as you push it through to help guide the new jewelry in. Look up the different types of jewelry to figure out what kind you have. There are also tons of YouTube videos to help.
