Engagement ring feels off but I'm used to wearing rings on my ring finger

Em Kaman, on July 22, 2019 at 6:23 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
So just got engaged last night! I got proposed with a custom ring that I helped design with my local jeweler. My issue is that today I put it on again (since I don't wear my rings to bed) and a few mins later it started giving a dull ache in my finger (it's a continuum silver ring which is supposed to be hypoallergenic). The thing is before I got engaged, I've been wearing what I call my practice/leave me alone ring (great while working) and I got it cause I never wore rings before and I thought I should get used to it and I've worn that ring for about 2 years with no issues on my ring finger nearly every day. So should be fine since I'm just changing the ring I'm wearing? The custom ring was made with the same size in mind and I can twist it and get it off without much problem even though my finger is a bit swollen cause of the summer heat. I'm just wondering what I should do and why is it hurting if I'm just changing the ring even though that finger is used to rings.

    It might not be used to that specific ring and how it resets on your hand. I also managed to bruise my hand shortly after getting engaged and it ached for a week so maybe you bumped it. I say give it week then worry

    I’d say give it a little time. Maybe it’s just the way it fits or spins on your finger and with summer I’m sure your finger is a bit swollen.

    Hey there!! Firstly, congratulations on your engagement!! You must be so excited!!!

    Perhaps your issue is that your engagement ring is heavier than your previous ring so the extra weight is giving you the pain in your finger. I would definitely recommend giving it more time so that you have given yourself the chance to get used to it.

    What is your ring like?

    It took me WEEKS to get used to my ring! couldn't stand to wear it to bed either. Now...I feel naked without it. You'll get used to it!
