[@greenroxchick]

Last year my husband and I were expecting our first child together, a son, and my ring would feel a little tight, but it was when I was at my 8 to 9 month of pregnancy, that my ring got stuck, and I was freaking out, because I couldn't get it off, but thank God, with lots of lotion/water, it finally came off. I couldn't wear it anymore after that, and was sad, but after our son was born in May 2020, months later, my husband bought me two new rings, and had all 3 rings resized for me to wear again. He made me so happy, because we've been together for so long, and been through so much, and finally have a child, we couldn't be more blessed.

Your finger didn't go back to normal after you gave birth?

[@laum5371]

@@malloryknox6802 my mother could not wear her rings again, till 15 years later, cause she lost some weight. Mostly is just fat and water in the finger that affects, during pregnancy you can get bloated and swollen, that will come off, after that is just loosing the baby fat, but there is a good chance you will get 1 size larger, in rings shoes, gloves, because of the growing hormones, funny enough I have never had children but I make the same size as my mother. Ever generation can be larger than their parents.

[@Palitato]

A trick to getting a stuck ring off is using dental floss! You can force one end under the ring and out the other side, then tightly wind the floss around your finger in front of the ring. Then you pull the end that you pushed under it, and it pushes the ring along the floss and pops it off!

Seriously how do you not lose those diamonds that popped out.

[@Vanpotheosis]

You lose them all the time. The truth is that they're actually pretty cheap so it's not a massive problem if they fly out when polishing. But you try to avoid that as much as possible. (The tiny diamonds are rarely more than 10 dollars each) And the big ones actually cost less than half what you pay for them. But you don't really lose those.

My mom's fingers kind of grew around her ring set (she wears three rings, two on one hand, one on the other hand). For some reason she just didn't take them off as her fingers got bigger. She's been wanting to take them off for awhile but just didn't know what to do with them after getting them off, so they've stayed on her hand for 40+ years. She has a very modest set: two plain bands and the engagement ring is a single stone. She doesn't even remember what metal her rings are made of (she picked them out, not my dad 😅).

That polishing though... the best part. I got to take a jewelry class way back in high school and my final project was sculpting and casting a silver ring. The polishing was like clean sheets on freshly shaven legs. Just the absolute best feeling ever.

I did it, watched the whole thing! This was a great video, i can’t tell you how much this just did for me. It’s been quite some time since I’ve made jewelry, 15 years since I stopped and at that point was only making bracelets and small, easy things & 20 years since my last rings and pendants. Long story short I basically lost access to a studio and didn’t have the majority of my own tools. That plus being in college equaled no more! I never really thought I’d get back into it, as you know it can be expensive!! But I’m going to dammit!! Watching you polish those rings at the end there, I fully understand that feeling and haven’t felt it in years! I need to make some shiny!! So thank you my friend, you’ve reignited a smoldering ember that I’d forgotten and I hope you can understand what that means to me.

This is EXACTLY why I never wore my rings while I was pregnant, although my fingers are insanely tiny already, almost at 4.25 size.

Question is it better to have the rings separated or soldered together

[@Affranchie]

I don't think there is a right or wrong here, it mostly depends on if you want to wear your wedding band alone, if your rings have sidestones that can shave against the bands, if one ring will help the other one stay in place and stop it from spinning...

[@lorrilewis2178]

Multiple rings wear against each other, so there's that to consider. I prefer wearing one ring as opposed to stacking rings. Besides, it's more comfortable.

[@zoeykillah]

My engagement ring looks like 3 rings together and i absolutely hate it. It looks like a halo engagement ring with two bands, one on top and one at the bottom. I asked a jeweler if it can be made smaller and it can’t. I guess it’s just preference for the most part. But idk why anyone would want one huge piece on their finger.

[@flyingcheff]

It's easy to stick with you, your video style is soothing yet keeps my attention!

[@daisymae3717]

I didn't know rings could be separated after being soldered together. I gained some weight after being married for a couple years and needed my rings resized. My engagement ring is 1/8 kt marquee diamond on a very thin gold band (was my husband's late mother's) and we picked a jacket for it that has some accent diamonds but a more substantial band. We took it to the place we bought the jacket at to be resized and they said it was impossible because the band was too thin, I left in tears because they also commented on how small it was even after I explained that it had sentimental value. I went to a more reputable local jewler and they fixed it in a week and said it was routine.

Good work. After 37 years as a jeweller and goldsmith I figure I sized between 30,000 and 40,000 rings. It got to the point I could size and polish most rings in less than 15 minutes. Heavy rings and fancy rings took more time. I retired 5 years ago. Of course the other side is having to cut rings off. I remember one lady coming in early one morning, just after we had opened. Her boyfriend had given her a ring that was way too small. She had somehow managed to put it on but couldn't get it off. Her finger was literally black. I could feel her pain as I, carefully as I could, cut through the ring and then bent it open with 2 pairs of pliers (this is usually a painless process). I wonder to this day if she lost the finger.
