Ring sizing?

musincy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 609 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 6/28/2008	I just recently had my engagement ring sized a quarter size up because I thought it was a tad too small. Now it feels a little loose... ugh. Will it be a little more snug once I wear my wedding band with it?

I don't notice a difference in their tightness whether worn alone or together, personally. That said, the change is likely in your head. 1/4 size is SUCH a teeny difference, if it felt too small before then this is the right size for you. If you do end up feeling it's too loose with the band, I'd suggest a sizing pad instead of beads... much more comfortable.

I've never heard of that?

I've never heard of that? I think I might be able to find a picture for you, I will post if I can! It's just a flat piece of added metal, as opposed to a bulbous bead. So it basically adds a bit of thickness (height, not width) on the inside of a band. Obviously it doesn't work with something like an eternity band with holes on the inside, but if the band is plain it can work! I only suggest it because a lot of people (including me) find sizing beads IMPOSSIBLY uncomfortable!! The pad would be essentially unnoticeable.

oldminer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,964 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/4/2000	On a temporary basis, just get a set of tiny eyeglass nose pads from the local drugstore. Install one inside the bottom of your engagement ring and see if it makes it tight enough for a few days. You rfingers may swell and shrink and 1/4 size is not much at all. If the ring remains loose even after the wedding band joins it, then consider soldering them together. They will feel tighter when they are a single unit. You can ALWAYS re-size or premanently pad the interior a tiny bit. The pad inside can be soldered in once both rings are in use. David S. Atlas GG(GIA), ASG, Sr. Mbr. NAJA www.datlas.com
