Impatiently waiting for my ring

I just sent my ring out to be re-dipped and polish before our wedding next month! I’ll be without my ring for two weeks. I’ve gotten it sized twice! And each time a Two week waiting period as well. I keep going to adjust my ring and realize it’s not there! *insert crying face*. Your ring is beautiful! It will be here soon!

That is gorgeous!! The same thing happened to me - FH and I picked it out, but the sample size was way too small and needed to be sized up to fit my finger. Ours was a three week wait where we couldn't tell anyone. I was dying lol. I checked the Zales status daily. But eventually it came in and is as beautiful as we hope, perched on my finger now but a size too big because I've been losing weight!!! Best advice is to distract yourself with one of your hobbies, maybe try some meditation to calm yourself down. And remember it will all be perfect in the end.

Welcome to the WeddingWire community, McKenzie! Congrats on your engagement!

Your ring is gorgeous!! It must be so hard knowing it’s yours, but you don’t physically have it! It will be here soon, don’t worry

I remember waiting on my ring to get sized too aha and just being impatient in general for it

My e-ring is too big, but I'm waiting until I get my wedding ring to get them sized since I keep losing weight (and I'm just not ok with being without my ring for that long right now. lol). I just wear a little plastic ring sizer thing for now.

I remember the waiting, ugh! I have bony little fingers, so the ring had to be sent in for resizing. It took about a month, and I really missed it! As soon as the store called and said it was back, we hopped in the car and drove the two hours to the store

By the way, your ring is a beauty!

The waiting is the worst! I have a custom ring and in a few weeks I will be without my ring for the third time. The first time was to get sized and took about three weeks. But when they sized it some of the stones fell out and we're replaced with much less quality ones. So the jeweler had it remade for me, taking an addition four weeks. Well, when they remade the e-ring they said we would deal with the matching bands at a later date. So we took them in last week to see if they could just size them. Unfortunately that't not the case because they no longer line up. So now I have to send in my e-ring to get molded and have the bands re-poured to fit. They said they would hope to have it done in 12 weeks.

View Quoted Comment What happened when they replaced the stones?!?!? That’s my worst nightmare!

View Quoted Comment Essentially they stretched it too far and disrupted the setting. The prongs holding in the stones weren’t tight enough and they fell out. One of them was a sapphire, which they replaced at the store without telling me. I noticed because it was a completely different color. Then the day after I got it back I was at work and noticed one of the diamonds had fallen out sometime that day. Luckily they replaced the whole ring no questions asked. But I was absolutely devastated.

What a beautiful ring!! I totally feel your pain. We ordered my ring a month ago and it won’t be don’t until right before Christmas 😭

Omg same thing happen to me! It took a little over a month for me, because the sizing wasn’t right twice. Because my ring is top heavy I went from being a size 5 to a size 4! So initially it was a 5, then a 4.5, and now 4.25 with ring guard. I will get it resized one last time before my wedding day though! I just didn’t feel like being without it again!! Lol... So I totally feel you on this one!

I meant to add: here is the ring for pic reference on top heavy. Lol... But I accidentally pressed reply before I could write that! Haha

View Quoted Comment Your. Ring. Is. GORGEOUS!!!! The photo of if is great as well!

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much! Haha sadly my FH said that he was gonna be the one to pick it up so he can “properly ask me” that evening at dinner. I am so excited, idk what to do!

View Quoted Comment Ah mine is from Zales -_- I hope it doesn’t take three weeks or I’m gonna go crazy! I will definitely try the meditation though. My watch has a daily reminder for it and I normally skip it. Maybe I’ll try it next time it shows up thank you!

View Quoted Comment Honestly it took 3 weeks for us because we went from a 7 to a 10 - quite a large jump that needed the extra attention. Also the ring I picked has a reputation for loose diamonds because of the prong setting, so I think they were double checking that too. Here's a pic in all its glory. But the ring itself I've been wearing for over a month with no problems other than it being too big now! They did a really good job.

I’m waiting too! My eta is two weeks as well. I didn’t think i would miss it this much! Lol!

View Quoted Comment Your ring is beautiful too! I’m jumping from that 7 sample size to an 8.5 so it shouldn’t be too hard I’d imagine. I’m a bit worried that all of my diamonds are gonna pop out when they stretch it since there are so many tiny ones, but I also have no idea on how to resize a ring either lol.

View Quoted Comment Since yours isn't as drastic, they'll probably just add a little bit of metal to lengthen the band. If my ring could go 3 sizes and me not have any trouble with loose diamonds even with the pave on the side, you should be good! Mine they had to add almost a whole other band to lengthen it, so it was a longer process.
