Anyones Rings Too Big?



Recommended Posts

What can I do about this situation? My rings are flying around on my fingers but I'm only half way to goal. Do they even make them smaller? Not sure. I know they stretch them out (from experience unfortunately) ;)

As long as they are solid gold or silver they can be sized by a jeweler. Sometimes hard to find one who does silver work but they are out there. My fingers are always the first thing to shrink!

I've had my wedding ring sized down once already. Cost $40. Need to do it again, lol.

Some people rap bandaides or tape around the ring.

I've always had ring guards on mine.

My hands swell up & down all through the day. A jeweler puts them on and they're cheap. Have had mine on for 20 yrs.

If you're still loosing weight I would buy some ring guards/sizers and use those until you reach your goal. That way you don't have to keep putting money out to have a Jeweler size them. You can buy clear rubber ones at Walmart in the jewelry dept. or at the mall at like Claire's or The Icing or Charming Charlie

You could try a Ring Snuggie until you get down to your goal weight and then have your rings sized. I found these at Wal-Mart.

I waitied because the jeweler said doing it more then once wasnt good for the metal and stones.... SO I wore my wedding rings on my middle finger for 4-5 months.... I just got them sized a few months ago since I am maintaining. I went from a size 11 to size 7.

You can get ring gaurds... or yarn works too. :)

Yeah, my engagement ring and another one keep rotating to under my finger and I'm constantly repositioning it. Especially when it's cold out and my fingers shrink a little.

Hey Maddysgram, you said your jeweler put your ring sizer on, is that one permanent?

I met a girl in Napa over the weekend and she had a permanant one on her engagement ring. It kinda looked like a "ledge" at the bottom of the ring. It was kinda cool, never saw anyone with that before.

go to a jewelry store that have little guards that they can put on them that you can adjust so you can still wear your rings..most jewelry stores have them and they are usually free

I'd wait and resize when you hit goal. What my BFF did when she was losing was went and bought and inexpensive stack ring (you can get nice onces from Jared for $60) in a size that fit and put that on the end. It looked like she just had an extra ring beside her wedding rings and looked good- that prevented her wedding rings from sliding off. You can also buy an insert that will make the ring tighter.

Great problem to have!!

At Walmart in the jewelry part the sell inserts until you reach your finally weight loss they are temporary fix. Yes the can make them smaller. I can finally wear my rings as I never had them made larger

A friend who lost 100 pounds wears her wedding rings on her middle finger. I asked her why not resize? She said it reminds her of her accomplishments every morning when she puts her rings on.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
