Hello Again!
As I sit around and wait for my finger to heal, I get more and more impatient!
I recently went to a B&M store (just to look, I''ve got my heart set on a Danhov design that I plan to purchase from JA.)
The saleswoman showed me the clamp (made to go over large knuckles, then tighten around the smaller finger part.)
When I told her that I had to wait about a year for my finger to heal she was like, "Why wait? Get the clamp now, and you could wear your ring!
Ahhh, I am ever too impatient! The seed got stuck in my head... wear it now, wear it now, wear it now!
So, here''s the deal, and any advice will be more than welcome (even if you advise me to wait it out!! I might need to hear that!)
The Danhov (Danhovs actually, I''m still deciding between a few...) have very delicate shanks, I don''t think that the clamp will work, I went back to read up on Jazmine''s horseshoe sizer, and I think it''s my best option (over sizing beads.) My knuckle will only allow a 7.5 ring over it, but my ring size before the accident was a 5.5 (still is on the lower part.)
I contacted JA and they don''t have the horsehoe clamp, but offered sizing beads..
Where might I find a horseshoe clamp? I think Jazmine got hers installed with WhiteFlash.
Could I find one at a local jeweler and have it installed after purchasing my new setting?
Should I try sizing beads to start (will they work with a 2 size difference?
Should I just wait until my finger is completely healed (next March?)
Thanks all, I''m sure that many of my questions are repetetive, and I apologize for that!
