Viviana - I wouldn't recommend lowering the ring size any further. It is perfectly normal for finger sizes to fluctuate with temperature, water, and other factors throughout the day, and it sounds like you have a decent size as it is. If the ring gets very loose in water -- to the point where it may fall off without you noticing -- you will need it resized, but just a little movement is normal. Another option is to remove the ring before you're in water (shower, bath, swimming, etc.) to avoid any accidental loss so you don't need to worry about the sizing being a problem. Best wishes!

I just got engaged and I had to take the ring to size becouse it was too big for me. they sized to 4 1/2 that seems fine to me. i just have a concern. it has a big stone in the middle so when it's cold, or I'm usying water, it tend to move from the center of my finger. should I so it smaller than that? right now I can't take it out in the morning (when my fingers are bigger) without usying water so I don't know if going smaller will be too bad. any suggestion? thanks.

Kathleen - There are several ways you can tighten the ring but still have it able to be removed again without more cutting if necessary. Some companies make ring resizers that you can fit around your ring without permanently changing it -- they're usually a small, clear rubber or plastic sleeve that you can bend onto the ring and it will fit more snuggly on your finger. If you can't find one but want to make one of your own, you get one of the small rubber caps that fits around the pegs that hold up adjustable shelves, slice off the solid end, and cut a slit down the side. That makes a hollow rubber tube with a slit that you can fit over your ring to make it more snug on your finger.

Quick fixes would include tape or thread around the underside of the ring to make it tighter, but these solutions will not last more than a few days. They can be useful, though, if you only want the ring more snug on occasion.

I had an accident, and my wedding rings had to be cut off. I had to go up 3 sizes in order to get the ring over the knuckle, but now the ring is way too loose. What can you suggest to tighten it up? Thanks for any tips you can give me.

Hi Janice -- The best way to go about this would be to not rely on numeric sizes, but to try the string method (see above). Your fiance can also use a thin piece of paper and wrap it around his finger, then measure it after laying it back flat, to get a number that a jeweler can translate into an appropriate size. I'd also recommend getting a repair plan on his ring -- those usually include free resizing (or discounts) in case the numbers just don't add up. Leave plenty of time before the wedding to be sure the ring will fit and you should be able to make sure it's a good size on your special day.
