Opinions on engagement ring...To resize or not!!!!

[Fruity77]

Hi there,

Just looking for opinions on my replacement engagement ring as I'm starting to obsess!!! So I'll start at the beginning, I somehow managed to take a chunk out of the diamond in my old engagement ring so luckily we had it insured and we got our our money through and we decided to put a little to it and upgrade slightly so choose my new replacement princess cut engagement ring. We have been married for 13 years and have to children so I already have my wedding and and an eternity ring.

My old engagement ring was an I 1/2, I have small fingers with bigger knuckles. My wedding ring and eternity ring are both a size J. So when ordering my new ring I ordered an I 1/2 but the problem now is that at certain points in the day it feels really quite tight and my fingers bulge a little, it's is also tight getting it on in the mornings (I take my rings off every night) but then at other times usually later in the day or when cooler it fits perfectly and even spins a little. My old ring was a different band style and slightly narrower.

So my dilemma is whether or not to go up a quarter of a size to an I 3/4 or just leave it. I know I don't want it at a J as my other 2 rings are a J and they do spin when my hands are smaller but they don't bother me much as they are flat but I really don't want my new ring to be to big and the diamond spinning all the time but also don't like it when it feels tight!!!

The first photo was this morning when it felt tight and the second was this afternoon and felt perfect.

Thank you to anyone who has actually got to the end of this post, sorry for rambling on....decision making is not one of my strong points!!!! smile Any opinions ladies on wearing your rings slightly to big or slightly to small?! What do u prefer?

My comment was deleted, because I called her an arse. No doubt these comments will be deleted too

I like the engagement ring in the middle too.

😂😂😂😂 @Derbee

Crikey that ring must be hard work to lug around whilst single handedly saving the earth.... I do hope it was ethically sourced!!!!! 😜

@EmGee

That does look nice but it's a shame to not wear your wedding ring?

See I think that looks beautiful! Although maybe wedding ring instead of eternity?

I don’t know. But I’m really invested in these rings now so we have to sort it one way or the other!

@mustardscreams 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do love my eternity though and it doesn't fit any of my fingers on my other hand.

@Horsemad I know that's kinda how I feel about it to.

Although I do wear all 3 of my rings in one finger, I do sometimes wear the eternity on my right hand.

Maybe get it sized up and do that? Costly though, if you go to the trouble & then don't like it...

I like the eternity and engagement rings together without the wedding ring. It's how I wear mine these days

Hey Fruity,

For some reason mumsnet isn't allowing me to send private messages :/

I couldn't figure out how to attach images so i've uploaded them to imagebb. You should be able to click the link or copy and paste into the internet to view them.

I can't feel the balls as they sit against the fleshy part of my finger. So, the ring feels a bit tighter but I can still get it over my knuckle without any problems. Also, the ring doesn't slip round anymore, which was the main issue for me :)

Before anyone asks, my diamond was from a conflict free source.

What a beautiful ring @Kittenmouf thanks for posting photos and definitely something else for me to consider. 😊

Fruity I love the pic of your engagement and eternity rings together!!!!
