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?

As a child when ring issues came up we just wrapped tape around it. Any kind...?

Anybody else remember when you were going steady, you wrapped angora yarn about his class ring so you could wear it? OMG I feel so old remembering that!

I can understand. I wear mine on my middle finger. I feel naked and anxious without it.

I kept buying inexpensive bands which I had to replace nearly every month. I have now had my rings resized by the jewellers and they fit great. Glad to have them back in my finger.

Oooh lovely!

Sticky tape fixes everything.

Me too, not having wedding rings on is like forgetting my glasses and then walk g around squinting all day. It just doesn't feel right.

of course you can have it adjusted my friend.

you can go to the store where you bought the ring and inquire about it.

Just had mine adjusted.

I had mine resized about 9 months ago when I got so fat; now they're already loose, so I know I'll have to resize them again when I meet my goal weight because I want to wear them but I don't want them falling off.

And if you are truly cheap like me you go to Wal-Mart and buy a little package of plastic ring sizers which cost about $2,98 in the jewelry department, that's what I did, got one on my left hand holding my rings in place. Since they're plastic you can wash your hands with them in place and do anything you usually use your hands for.

Yes!!! Lol

They can put on a ring guard - not expensive

I stopped wearing mine for about 6 months and then finally had them resized when I was close to goal. Looks perfect.

I’ve had mine resized three times. Went from a 15 to a 12.5 to a 11 to a 10. I’ll probably have to get it resized one more time. Go ahead and get it resized. I almost lost mine once... far worse feeling than going a few days without it.

I had to put my rings in our safe months ago. I bought a cheap ring and it’s now way to big. I’ve had my wedding rings for 26 years and now have no ring to wear. When I get to my goal weight I will have my ring resized. I know i am married and the ring on my finger or in the safe isn’t going to change anything .
