You ring has what?
Balls. My ring has a pair of balls. I’m sorry for the vulgarity, but it’s true…
Why you ask? When Mr. D and I finally found the perfect ring I had tried on hundreds of rings. Seriously, hundreds. All the settings were a size 6 which is just a bit too tiny for my finger. By the time I tried on my ring my finger was red, puffy, and very swollen. The sales manager sized my finger for the ring and we guestimated that although I was measuring in at a size 7 I was actually 6.75. He told us that we should only resize a ring twice to avoid damaging the metal.
Once the ring was on my finger we realized it was a bit too loose. It could spin all the way around my finger and I was terrified of going in the ocean with it. It even almost went down the drain while washing my parent’s dog! After that we decided something must be done so when we visited New York we swung by the Tiffany & Co.
They sent us up to the 6th floor where their customer service is located to meet with a jeweler. Instead of resizing the ring, or putting a butterfly clip on it; the jeweler recommended putting two shots (technical ball term) in the ring. It took about an hour and cost around $50 to do. The shots can be removed in the summer when my fingers swell and replaced in the winter when my fingers shrink. They were a bit uncomfortable at first, but now I hardly notice them.
Have you had any ring resizing adventures?
