See, I tried the metal ring guards, and they slipped, and were uncomfortable,and I was afraid of scratching the metal. Now I have those little rubber tubes you buy in the mall. Much more comfortable. I am going to stick with these for a while. My engagement ring is platinum (and also the largest), and I understand that metal it is harder to size, and can only be sized twice at the most. So, for now, a bit of rubber is keeping both rings in place. Oh, I used to drive with my arm out the window in summer- no more!

Van,

I love the way you think!

I'd just be happy with the first ring from the BF...

I have lots of rings that I couldn't wear before and didn't want to get them re-sized because they had belonged to my mother. Now, they fit .

Cin, enjoy Disney and I'm sure those ring thingies from Wal-mart will do you for now - get them sized when you are ready and have the time.

Hugs,

Kimberly

I bought a fabulous fake and wear it all the time now. I couldn't stand it when I lost my wedding ring in the trash. I was lucky and found it.

I love it because I just go and by the epiphany platinum clad rings on QVC and wear those. If I lose them, it won't be a big deal. Your fingers will probably be back to norm in the summer...dunno though because I swear you look skinnier every time I see your pics.
