NSV::
I have 4 rings that I wear all the time, well they keep getting looser and looser, and this morning I woke up having to search the bed for my wedding ring! it fell off!

I have always had fat fingers, so this is a BIG deal to me as silly as it sounds!

Also, I swear to you, I lost weight in my feet! I am a HUGE fan of heels, and my 2 favorite pairs are now too big, and yesterday I went to buy a new pair and I had to buy a 9 instead of a 10?! REALLY???????????? ODD!

Suggestions::
My other rings are simple and haven't been resized before so getting them resized will be cheap and easy at the jeweler we got them from, my wedding ring is a different story! My husband took the diamonds from my engagement ring and his mothers wedding ring and had one specifically made for me so I am scared to have it resized at all, let alone more than once, so should I resize it now and then again if I have to or should I wait? Any suggestions to keeping it on?

    I've taken to wearing mine on a necklace around my neck. I don't want to resize too often. When I'm done losing weight, I'll go to the jewler... just an option?!?!

    OMG i have the same problem!!! I can't resize one of the rings I normally wear because it was actually my great grandmother's wedding band (she died at 98 when I was 19 years old) and has old fashioned engraving of my great grandfather's name and the year they were married on the inside. So...that stays as is. My engagement ring I can't even wear anymore it's too big but I"m still losing so I'm thinking of getting one of those resizer things that goes on the inside of the ring until i steady out. Maybe that'd be good for your case?

    They should be able to give you a removable insert that will make it fit.

    You should be able to buy something, I think they're called spacers, at a jeweler. It fits on the inside of the ring and can make it smaller for you without really resizing the ring. I've used them on some heirloom pieces I didn't want to resize.

    Also, I wouldn't be afraid of resizing a ring if you go to a reputable jeweler. I have super tiny fingers and every ring I buy has to be resized and I've never had a problem with something happening to the ring.

    they can also add little gold (or platinum) or whatever nubs to the inside of the ring so it is smaller. My husband has this and it feels odd at first, but works quite well.

    Good problem to have!!

    I'd recommend waiting until you have reached your goal - sizing them once is better than twice........

    Mine are in the safe deposit box - not sure when I'll get them back and have them sized.

    congrats!! huge NSV! you can buy a little resizer ring that you wear under your rings, most good jewellery stores have them (I lost my rings vacumming once and found that out) there are also sizing spring things that go inside your band.

    :wink: LOL I am having the same problem, so i just either move it to the next finger while out and about or when i am at home i just take it off. This way i know that it is safe on my vanity. IF your still in the weight loss process just wait until you have hit your goal until you resize it or what the other lady suggested to get sizers. Good luck!

    I have worked for a jeweler for many years. Take them to a trusted experienced jeweler and have it sized. It would be far worse to loose your precious heirlooms! And by the way...GOOD work!!!

    Hang in there! Don't get discouraged, try not to think about it! I have learned that stressing over gaining some back makes it harder to lose it again!!! You can do it :)

    Also I have tried to find those plastic spacers but I can't find them ANYWHERE!!! And yes, I could def use a good shoe shopping day! Guess I need to sell my old heels! BOO!
