Rings - NSV

So great news and a problem... I've lost about 20 lbs so far and my engagement ring is getting really lose. I have about 50 more to go to get to my goal weight.

Other than getting it resized often, what do you do to tighten your rings? When I was little I tied yarn around a few times but that gets a bit nasty when washing hands. I remember some metal thingy to clamp on there but I can't find it on amazon or eBay. Suggestions?

Walmart jewelry counter has plastic things that keep your ring from falling off. Easy to use. Cheap. The metal wraps snag clothing or scratch skin unless the jeweler can wrap it nicely with no edges. I just resized mine a whole size down after 40 lbs lost and then I use the plastic Walmart things with my costume jewelry that is now all too big for me. I'll probably resize my wedding ring once more in 40 more lbs....my goal. I'm now 46.5 down.

Congrats! My very first NSV was that my rings and bracelets fit again. Haven't gotten to the falling off my fingers stage yet, though.

My wedding ring now falls off my finger. Unfortunately since it is tungsten carbide it can't be resized. It wasn't very expensive. Since it was only a couple years ago I should probably see if I can find the seller on eBay and buy the same ring in a couple smaller sizes.
