I recently just got my wedding ring back after being resized and soldered to my engagement ring. My e-ring is a round halo and my wedding ring is an enhancer with two sides (hence why it was soldered). I’ve included a picture for reference.
Originally, my e-ring was a 5 1/4. I felt this was a good size, maybe even loose at times, but never falling off and definitely not tight. Given how large the whole ensemble is, the jeweler suggested we size everything to a 5 1/2 to make sure it wasn’t too tight. She measured me with a mens sizer to account for the thickness of the band and that’s what I measured at.
My concern is when I picked it up and tried it on, it felt loose. I did the shake test and it doesn’t slide off, and it does require a little tug to go over the knuckle when taking it off (but not a lot). It does move back and forth between the base of my finger and the knuckle though. When I look at the ring while it rests on my finger, there is a slight gap, but nothing crazy. I also can’t hold my fingers close together without the ring bulging. I’m not sure if it feels weird because of how large it is, or if it is actually a quarter size too large and I should have kept my original sizing. My e-ring has been resized twice at this point (once down and once up), but the wedding band has only gone down this one time. I don’t want to damage the rings by continuously resizing them.
So, have any of you had similar issues? Did you get used to your ring feeling loose? If I don’t get used to it, should I try to resize it again? Do I let it go and see if maybe I adjust or gain weight so that it fits? I’m so stressed because I love my rings but I don’t want to resent wearing them because they’re uncomfortable.
