Need a bit of advice re: my engagement and wedding rings.

I'm now thinner than when I married my lovely hubs twenty years ago and my rings are getting too loose. They're bugging me coz they swivel all the time and I'm scared of losing them.

I'm loathe to take them off but there's no point getting them adjusted yet - I don't even know if they can be adjusted.

Did this happen to anyone else? What did you do?

This is them.

I started wearing them on a fatter finger. I also have an issue where my fingers swell in the heat but shrink lots in winter. No point in getting my rings adjusted as I would be doing it twice a year!

You can have a jeweler put an inexpensive little ring "guard" around them on the inside that makes them a little tighter. I did this last time I dropped a lot of weight. It cost about $5 USD.

Ta, have stuck them on a middle finger which does them feel a bit tighter. Looks weird tho!

A ring guard? This, I will have to Google!

Same here. I’ve been wearing mine on my middle finger. Now that my weight has stabilized for last 4 months- I think I’m done losing so I’ll go check out the ring band that makes them tighter. Don’t know of I want to have them resized just yet

These ring guard things are all over Amazon - who knew?? I've ordered a packet so hopefully that's a (temp) solution!

I'm a bit nervous about that too. I took another ring to a jeweler to do some work on it and he butchered it. Very upsetting.

Oh baby you could have soooooo much fun with this! When you reach goal weight you get a new set along with vow renewal ceremony! Or any combo you like! But the balling on a budget nostalgic version are ring spacers

But I say reach for the stars...

I live real close to Canada in NW Washington and we use duct tape for everything. Just sayin...

We were broke students when we got hitched so my original ring was not an expensive one. We always planned to upgrade our rings, but haven’t yet. When it got too loose, I picked up this pretty silver ring from a local artisan to replace it with. I’ll keep replacing it with inexpensive rings until my weight stabilizes and then plan to work with the local artisan to make custom gold “forever” rings.

Hella yes! Hello new weight loss goal! Not sure about the recommissioned (snort, that's what my autocorrect came up with) ceremony but I am TOTES up for some new bling at goal weight.

That's a good idea too. I'm totally stealing everyone's ideas.
