Engagement ring & wedding band too tight

Tessa, on January 6, 2020 at 12:07 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
Hi brides! I'm looking to see if anyone has had this same issue as I've had. My engagement ring is a stock Neil lane that I never had sized. I've worn it for over 3 years now with no issue. I got a set of wedding bands from Neil lane that match the ring. All of a sudden, my rings feel SO tight. I've been thinking about sizing them even though they've never felt tight before. I wore my engagement ring alone for a few days recently with no trouble. Today I wore one of my bands, all day no problem. But all 3 rings together its painful and they leave a huge mark on my finger. Anyone else experience this? Should I get all 3 rings sized bigger? Or just the top wedding band? Obviously my finger gets thicker toward the knuckle, but is it weird to notice such a big difference when I wear all 3 when I have no issues wearing them individually?

    A lot of things could be the cause of swelling - hormones, salt, the weather, the fact that your body doesn't like your new perfume. It sounds like you're getting some swelling so that all 3 together is covering a large area on your finger and you're noticing it. I would take all 3 to a jeweler and see what they suggest- you definitely don't want to be in pain!

    I think it’s just what you said about your finger being larger toward the knuckle. I was told at the jewelry store that one will usually need a larger size a ring with a wider band which is ultimately what’s happening when you wear the rings together.

    This is exactly what it is. My engagement ring is a bit loose on me but my jeweler just gave me a temporary sizer to help it fit until we solder the band to it before the wedding. When I put the two on together they fit perfect. A thicker band or multiple bands fit tighter together.

    I agree with pp that on a day to day your rings can feel tight or loose.
