Serious ring spinnage goin' on here!

HollyS Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,101 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 7/18/2007	What's the solution to ring spinnage when it's really cold? These puppies are going 'round and 'round. I think the w-ring, which was sized long ago when purchased and then it languished in a safe prior to the big day, is too big! But, I won't do anything about size during the winter months, just in case it's pretty snug come the hot weather. Any stop-gap suggestions about how to minimize spinnage now? The w-ring looks like an eternity, but is really fourteen channel set diamonds on an OGI band with a little engraving and a small polished spot in back for sizing ease. And, of course, I'm always looking at the back of the band instead of the damonds because of the spinning. The e-ring is platinum with a high mounting, so I know the weight will keep it moving 'round the finger and there won't be much I can do about that. And I wouldn't dream of soldering the two rings together. I'm a little concerned about knocking my diamonds against something when they're "palm in". Can sizing beads be put in and removed if necessary? The good new is, when I'm ready to stack something else with my set, the rings will not be too tight on my finger. Yeah, there's the answer . . . I need bling to stack with my bling! _____________________________ "I cannot live without books." - Thomas Jefferson

I had Whiteflash put sizing beads in my ring to limit spinning. It really does work... (my diamond on the pic is only .55ct lol! It looks so tiny but it wasn't in real life) It only took me a few days to get used to the beads. Here is a pic if it will help...

It is not a cheap solution but it works well for me. There are a number of different types out there. I prefer the kind that hinges open. You might also consider getting a thin plain band to wear in between your e and w rings. That could be a temporary solution until you decide on the appropriate additional bling. ============================ Blu "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

However, more bling would be more fun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

My RB is way low set and even with the arthritic shank it wants to spin when it is way cold here in the northeast!
