if a ring is too loose, is there anything you find reliable to wear it with, to make it fit? one fell off the other day.....

[loveyouradvice]

Just that really - I think there are little things I can buy, it's not much too big but is so loose that it fell off into (thankfully) my bag the other day...

so any advice for anything that does (or does not) work??

Hair band

There used to be a little band that you got from a jeweller that fitted inside the ring - I don't know if they still exist, you might be able to get one online now.

I am wearing my late Mums wedding ring in front of mine as I have lost weight and my wedding ring was falling off and I didn't want to risk losing it.

I’ve recently lost 4st so my engagement ring is hanging off me. I bought this things from Amazon and they work perfectly.

Sorry for awful Amazon link… amzn.eu/d/hWkS5Le

Yep, you can buy these that fit around the band - I’ve got similar, can’t find the exact link:

Sorry for horrible link but MN never accepts my neat ones behind text!

I got some of the huggies things linked above but they just feel so uncomfortable and awkward. I wish I could get used to mine.

I wear the loose ring nearest my body and then put on a tighter ring in the same metal, on to the same finger. This stops the loose ring slipping off.

I tend to go for getting another smaller ring to wear next to it as a 'keeper'.

Yes these work really well.

I lost weight a few years ago and had this problem. I took the rings to the jewellers to be resized.

I use these from Claires

I'm holding out for DH to buy me an eternity ring to keep my wedding and engagement rings on following 6.5 stone weight loss.

I won't hold my breath I've been hinting for one since DC1 was born 10 years ago.

In the mean time I'll try one of the things linked above. Thanks!

A jeweller can add a piece of the metal inside the band to tighten it. It’s cheaper and less expensive than resizing.

That's what I do too.

You either need to get a jeweler to add a small gold ball on the inside or resize

OR
wear a smaller ring on top so big ring is closest to body. (I do this as quote to resize was £££)

Just get a jeweller to 'size' mine when they get loose, is there a reason that's not possible?

Our local jewellers resized my silver wedding/engagement ring. I started off using the spring things linked above but they weren't that comfy. The jeweller only charged £20 & it feels so much more secure now

I lost weight and my wedding ring kept falling off so I had it resized, it wasn't very expensive. Is there a reason you don't want to do that?

The other option to put a well fitting ring above it as a 'keeper'.

I had one of those 'gold balls' (mentioned above) put inside inside the band on another ring and the feel of it drove me mad, I stopped wearing it.

Just get it resized at a jeweller? Or am I missing something?

As pp have said a jeweller can add beads to the inside of a ring, or resize to make smaller

Although I appreciate sometimes your fingers can fluctuate during the year (my own rings often feel quite loose in the winter, but not enough to fall off)

In the 'old days' people used to wind some cotton thread around the ring (the bit where you can't see it , underneath) to make it smaller.

Ring Snuggies. They take a little bit of getting used to but work well. I only needed a couple of 'coils' around my engagement ring but it was enough to stop it continuously spinning round so I was stone to palm.

This is the issue I have - hands are often freezing and much smaller. But then swell in the summer!

I use these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C15P2F7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

The 'phone cord' style ones linked to earlier are a bit clumsy to wear, I find. These are a bit of a fiddle to put on to the ring, but I find them much less intrusive and annoying. Of course, a jeweller could resize it for you as well, but I presume that would be more expensive and take a while.

I lost a lot of weight but worry about residente in case i put it back on. Also, don’t they take away some of the gold to resize?

I had a keeper ring made when I lost a lot of weight, as my ring is Welsh gold and I didn’t want any taken from it.
The keeper is about 1.5mm wide and is 18ct same as my main ring.
