My wedding ring has suddenly become too big. Apparently, I've lost a lot of weight in my hands. :) Right now, my knuckle is just large enough to keep it in place, but I got a bit of a scare when I was swimming last weekend. My hands were wet and cold and I just about lost the ring.

I can't resize the ring because it is tungsten.

So ... what are my options?

Have you dealt with this situation?

    There are these things (I have the same problem - 2 tone ring, so can't be traditionally resized)) which clip onto the inside of the ring, thus making the hole smaller (that sounds dirty, come to think of it). But yeah, they go on the palm-side of the ring, on the inside and there are various colours you can get to match your ring colour. I'll have a Google and see if I can find them

    Odd my first thought when reading this was, how has your ring grown in size.

    But I saw something today oddly, they put a something on the inside, like some clear hose/tubing. If that makes sense.

    What I would try is getting some clear tubing like 1cm diameter or less. Cutting a small section again about a cm long.

    Then cutting along the tube long ways. That way you can slip it onto you ring, making the finger hole smaller.

    The tube that comes to mind is what is used on a ventilator that goes to the part over your mouth and nose.

    I would just take the thing off. Lace it into your shoe so you don't lose it. If men hit on you, just point to your shoe. B)

    I'm a jeweller. I only work with precious metals, but it is possible to solder small balls of metal into the inside of rings to resize them. This works particularly well for people with large knuckles or arthritic hands. X

    Even tungsten?
