Resizing Wedding Rings



Recommended Posts

I'm finally to the point I keep my ring and band in their original box during the day. I like to wear them at night (comforting), but I've awoken to find them strewn in the bed. They fall off very easily with about a 2-3mm gap to my finger. But I still have 50+ pounds to lose before I'm where I want to be for long-term.

When did you have your rings resized? I'm afraid of waiting until I'm near goal, going too small, then regaining. Let's face it, we're still planning to have a kid or two and I'm betting with age I'll crawl back up the scale here and there (you know, when I'm 80).

I'm not interested in the little band things you can put on the back, I tried my grandmother's and they're very annoying.

I would speak to a jeweler and ask him how small your rings can be sized down to. I know some settings cant accommodate drastic downsizing without side jewels popping out

I just took mine to the jeweler today. I almost lost them yesterday in the trashcan. Went down from 11 1/2 to 9 1/2. Woohoo!! It's worth the price to wear them daily without losing them!!! And I've only lost 64 lbs with about 140 more to go!!

A friend showed me her husband's ring that she got him for their anniversary, it was too big, but she didn't want to get it sized because she had it inscribed. So the jeweler put these too "balls" of gold (the ring is gold) on opposite sides of the inside of the ring and it keeps it on his finger perfectly and it didn't mess up the inscription.

This is great info!

I am just headed to my jeweler this next week- I need something done with my ring- its slipping around like crazy-sometimes oFF- and even with insurance on it- I could not live with myself for losing it!

Was the ring that you saw a larger band? My ring is a very large custom peice- it's 28grans of 18k gold with one 2. Something carat diamond- and I only want to have it sized once!

I'm 6 weeks 2 days out- and have lost 40+ since surgery - I still have at least 50 more to go. I know sizing my beauty will alter the design - so I'm not excited- I hadn't thought of the balls inserted- I was going to ask my jeweler to temporarily insert a large ribbon of gold to help with snuggnes!

Thank you for sharing this!

The gold balls are the way to go. They come in all sizes and only take a couple min to do. They stick to plat also and cannot be seen with ring on.They can be changed to diff sizes easily , my guy Jimmy DaJewler did mine for nuttin'

This is good to know! I was just telling my hubs that the ONLY downside to losing weight is that I don't think my ring can be resized. The band is one of those eternity bands that is soldered to the engagement ring. He had suggested that we just get the diamonds put into a new setting, but I don't want that!! (I love my ring!)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
