Jenn1214 120 Posted November 10, 2011 I've lost 60 pounds since my fiance proposed in February and my engagement ring is disconcertingly loose. I have about 45 more pounds to lose so I don't want to get it permanently resized until I reach my goal weight, but is there anything I can use to keep it from flying off in the meantime? I would be devastated if I lost it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corrigan 75 Posted November 10, 2011 Girls used to put adhesive tape on the back of the ring, if that's too simple, most jewelry stores sell sizing devices that fit inside a ring to make it smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
transforming jlaroux 78 Posted November 10, 2011 I'm heading out to get my sizer this weekend. IT's temporary, they attach it to the back of your ring, and voila! Instantly smaller! I've lost 60 pounds too, and I've had to take my wedding bands off, and I cannot stand it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 10, 2011 take it to your local jeweler... he can sell you a clip on sizer until you are ready for a perm size change. Or you can be like me....who is currently walking around with gold yarn wrapped around my wedding rings. You can't see it but I have to remember to take off my rings when my hands get wet.... but other than that it works until I am ready for a permenant solution.

Cindy C 150 Posted November 10, 2011 You can get a sizer or just put it on a chain and wear it around your neck. Having to wait to put it back on your finger might give you a little added incentive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
54Shirley 105 Posted November 11, 2011 Go to your jeweler, and have him put in a bridge. It's Temporary until you get it sized. This way you can keep it on your finger. A chain is nice, but in this day and age ! It's a easy target for someone to grab, and run with. Thats kinda why you don't see that to much anymore. It's better on your finger. Congrats! on the Engagement..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaileyRose 13 Posted November 11, 2011 I had my wedding ring sized down a couple sizes even though I have a good 60-100 lbs to lose. I asked my jeweler if it would affect the integrity of the ring if I had to keep getting it sized down and he said no. So I didn't worry about sizing it as I go. But if you don't want to do that you can use thread and just wrap it around the inside of the ring. But it sounds like a clip is a better idea... I just didn't know those existed until now :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
