use these to keep rings on, block turns and sleeve larger sizes on finger (most left ring band when not uses as a thumb ring) love old silver bands and toe rings. I use my spirals almost every day as blockers.

I do this too, especially with my Saharan ring collection. I'll try it with the Kazakh ring, though it's more difficult due to the chunky, granulated base.

Do you sell silver rings that can be used like stoppers ?

Not really, we have two Indian spiral rings at the moment, but haven't thought to use them; they are in our inventory. I mainly have old silver bands that I made back in the day and some others that I collected many years ago. Some are "ethnic", but most are plain sterling silver made by me or in Thailand.

I have a collection of Saharaoui rings that I wear on both of my middle fingers. They go up to five or six deep on each finger and they are very heavy, at least 25 grams on each hand. I love how they can be layered. Below are some, but not all of them.

I love when those are stacked up. There used to be nice ones of those on the market but hard to find now.
