Are sizing balls uncomfortable?

[maddie]

My ring is slightly loose and from the response I''ve gotten here it sounds like I should just keep it and maybe put in sizing balls in the winter.

My question is - do these make the band uncomfortable?

Your question begs for a funny reply. Tasteless, but funny. I will show great fortitude and resist temptation.

Sizing balls are great in that they do not disturb invisible setting or distort the sides of a ring set with other diamonds. If you get larger, later, then you can have them removed. Very few people don't find a ring gets tighter over time or even with the seasons.

If you have boney fingers, you may find the balls hurt. If you have fleshy fingers, you may find them totally un-noticed after a couple days. A solid element of gold, like a leaf of an old style car spring, could be soldered inside to the base of the ring and also act as a shim to make the ring size seem smaller. It can also be removed and do the same thing as sizing balls without the lumps. Have you asked about that?

That is EXACTLY what we were thinking

Most of the clients who have had us place "sizing beads" inside of their ring have gotten used to the feeling within a day or two. Maybe less than 1% have had us remove the "beads". Some have had us adjust and round off the beads a little more after a day or two in order to get the size of their "balls" right - couldn't resist!

You see how it is, we can only behave for so long and apparently it's for about a sentence or two

Hey Leonid, can we PLEASE have a RED version of the smiley face to visualize exactly how embarrassed we're (supposed to be) right now?

HI:

Ah, yes. Are you suggesting then, that size matters? And of course, depending where one lives in the winter, the inevitable shrinkage issue...
Sorry,

I couldn;t resist!

From the sublime to the ridulous...

Don't get the "balls" too big. They may be uncomfortable for you.
