Ugh, ring :(

Despite already being sized down twice, my ring was STILL too big so we took it to get sized down again this weekend... only to discover that, apparently, this ring wasn’t meant to be sized down by more than 1 size. It started as a 7, and I’m a 5. The saleswoman also said that apparently since I...
Despite already being sized down twice, my ring was STILL too big so we took it to get sized down again this weekend... only to discover that, apparently, this ring wasn’t meant to be sized down by more than 1 size. It started as a 7, and I’m a 5. The saleswoman also said that apparently since I have such thin fingers and large knuckles, a top-heavy ring like this was NOT meant for someone like me, and there’s basically no way to fix this because this ring just wasn’t meant to be a size 5, and the idiot who sold it to us didn’t say that!

At this point, I’ve spent literally multiple full days over the course of 10 months trying to make this darn ring work for my finger and turns out, it CANT. I’m so frustrated and angry beyond belief. My FH is going to the store tomorrow to try to get them to refund it since it’s their fault for selling us a ring that wasn’t meant for my size. Ugh.

Partly a rant, partly some advice, I’m going to need a whole new ring now, and I absolutely will not risk having another top-heavy ring. For those of you with thin fingers and large knuckles...... show me your rings that actually fit comfortably?? Trying to get an idea of styles that will actually fit me Smiley sad

    I’m glad that worked for you! The wedding band I got to match was only 2mm so it didn’t really make a difference with it fitting. And I’ve heard about the plastic guards and the bumps or the bars you can put in it, but I know myself and I’m just not going to want to wear it if it doesn’t actually just fit comfortably as is. At this point I just have negative associations with my ring too, and we’re both so mad at the sales guy because he should’ve just said right off the bat “this can’t be sized to a 5” because he knew I was a 5! Partly me being upset with the ring, and partly me being upset at the incompetence of the jeweler 😠 I hate that my FH spent so much money on this... I just want to get it refunded and get a much simpler, cheaper one that actually fits me. Hopefully that works out today :/ (sorry for the rant I’m just unbelievably frustrated lol)

    It isn’t a great quality picture and I’ve heard to bad luck to try your wedding band on before you get married but here’s a picture of my engagement ring with my future wedding band 😊

    Oh I love it! So beautiful. That’s really the type of engagement ring I think I want now, simple and elegant. Does this spin on you a lot?

    Thank you 😊 It does spin much at all because the diamond is raise and it can’t fit between my fingers unless they are spread apart. I hope that makes sense.

    It's only a temporary fix, but Amazon sells plastic "ring sizers" you wrap around the bottom of the ring. That may be helpful, you could put it on after you put the ring past your knuckles?

    Yes that does make sense! Thank you Smiley smile I’m hoping to be able to go to a jeweler that can help us pick out a ring that will actually fit my finger properly... my FH is on his way to the store now so hopefully they’re going to give us our money back because they literally lied when they sold us this ring (told us it could be sized to a 5, it couldn’t, so they sized it to a 6 and said nothing......)

    UPDATE: my FH took a half day from work to deal with this because he was so stressed, just went to the jeweler and they gave him a full refund! So relieved and so impressed by him! Never thought I’d be so happy to have returned my engagement ring hahaha.

    Now time to get one that actually fits me!
