Reddit mentions: The best jewelry sizers & mandrels

Get yourself a box resizer and a good razor knife. Sometimes a half an ounce or less can make the difference between $5 shipping and $7+, and you will also save packaging material by not having to stuff half of a box with packing paper or bubble wrap.

DONT BUY BUBBLE WRAP LOCALLY AT THE STORE. GET IT ON AMAZON.

I almost never pay more than $27 for 700ft of bubblewrap. I used to spend more than that on 250ft when I was buying it at Lowe's or Staples.

Bubblewrap on Amazon for $25.88 with free shipping

Keep an eye out for something like this at thrift stores, you can find them ALL THE TIME, usually for around $5 - $7, and they are GREAT for mounting your rolls of bubble wrap on to save space and make dispensing it easy.

For taking photos, I use something like this setup. I place the backdrop stand behind a dresser and drape the fabric backdrop over the top of it and tuck it into my top drawer for a seamless background that I can also lean items against since it's tucked in.

Yep! Mine is the same way -- fits great during summer but is annoyingly big during winter. I've thought about buying [these things] (https://www.amazon.com/RING-NOODLE-1-Petite-1-Narrow-Adjuster/dp/B00GUTWY5E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1475253457&sr=8-4&keywords=ring+size+adjuster+for+loose+rings) to help it fit better but haven't bit the bullet yet. Also, congratulations! :-)

Holy shit this is one of the best guides I've ever seen for something like this!

However, what are some good tool alternatives for people who don't normally do something like this? I don't have a pickle pot. Or a tumbler. Or a leather mallet. Or a ring mandrel. Or a buffing wheel.

Leather mallet isn't hard, I have a wooden mallet I can just stick some leather on. But pickle pot? Idk what that even does. Tumpler? Nope. Ring mandrel...eh...I could figure something out. Who knows, maybe they're cheap. Buffing wheel? Big fat nope.

Any ideas? I love the idea. I've worked with metal and soldering before, but that was with model airplanes, so things weren't meant to look pretty, they just had to function properly.

EDIT: Ok, time to answer my own questions.

I've already covered the hammer thing, so we'll skip that.

Boom, ring mandrel.

Boom, DIY pickle pot

BOOM, DIY tumbler thingy

And then you can buy a buffing attachment for a Dremel tool, and you can solder with just a standard propane blow torch. Easy peezy.

Welcome to RAOA, it's awesome to see you jumping straight in!! Thanks for the contest!

This is my favourite gif, it's basically most British teenagers in one perfect gif :'D

The cheapest thing on my wishlist is this for 95p which is $1.46! :D

Seconding this! I got a little plastic 'bar' that sits at the bottom and keeps my ring at the right size. I think I got 5 6 for 10 bucks on amazon? I've also seen ones that are gold/silver (ebay) which might be preferable for some, but I needed it right away so the cheap ones on Amazon prime worked for me! It also loosens slightly over time (and if you bend the plastic a lot - like I did).

Edit: I also found that my ring fit on my finger really well when he first proposed, but was super loose the next day, and changes every day (swelling, ugh) so the non permanency of these really appeals to me!

Link to the one I got: https://www.amazon.ca/RINGO-6-Pack-Invisible-Material-Perfect/dp/B01LWTZC9H/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484688076&sr=8-2&keywords=ringo

(October '18 bride here!) Firstly, congrats on your upcoming marriage!

Someone on r/weddingplanning suggested not trying on dresses too early. She went pretty early on in her weight loss and bought a dress that, while she still loves, isn't the style she would have bought for the body she has now. If you've always been fat, you might not be able to guess what will look good after you've lost weight. My FMIL is very excited to go dress shopping and I have to keep reminding myself that at this point it'll do more harm than good.

Another thing to remember about dresses is that dresses with beading are going to be much harder and more expensive to alter than other dresses. Corset backs can usually be added pretty easily, which will also help with sizing. Switch to maintenance after your last fitting to make sure your dress isn't too big on the big day!

If you're losing slowly, you have a better chance of avoiding loose skin. There's also anecdotal evidence that intermittent fasting will help tighten your skin, too. r/intermittentfasting might be of better help with that!

Last bit of advice is to not let anyone make you feel bad about losing weight "for your wedding." At least for me, losing weight is something I've needed to do for a long time- the wedding is just a motivator for making changes.

Edit: last-last piece of advice is to get a ring adjuster! As you lose more weight, this will allow you to keep wearing your ring without actually resizing it.

Yeah, no problem -- in order:

1. There's several places to get the tools, OttoFrei, Harbor Freight, Rio Grande, all have sites you can order from.
   
   
2. That's a doming block, here's a really fancy one I wish I had! Mine's only a 7-piece, does what I need for the most part. It's not 100% necessary for most coin rings, but it has two primary uses here: First you can use it to help pre-stretch the hole and bend the coin back -- if the coin fits on the mandrel fine, then this isn't needed, as you can just hammer it from there. But if the hole punched is too small to fit the mandrel naturally, you can use a smaller dome, just a bit bigger than the hole to stretch it out. Secondly, once the rings are almost done, the outer rim edge is always thicker, so the rings have a flared effect, I use the dome punch to flare the thinner "inner" edge out so the ring appears more flat. It looks better and feels better when wearing it.
   
   
3. The metal ring sizer is called a ring mandrel, most hobby stores carry them.
   
   
   
4. I used red rouge compound, I have a flex-shaft which makes for quick work, but if you have a dremmel, you can get polishing bits for it, too.

When I lost weight, I went on Amazon and bought this. it worked like a charm for me. I have three bands that aren't soldered together, so I just put it on the last band, and never had any issues.

Then of course, once you're ready, go have it sized!

Edit: I didn't see the part about the reason I made the choice I did...

I had gained weight, and also added a 3rd band, so having all 3 made it tight. I sized up, and they fit perfectly. I then lost weight, and because we were going to try to get pregnant again, it didn't make sense to pay $90/ring to get them resized. This was a quick, cheap solution for me, and I'm glad I did it the way I did.

Once I pop this kiddo out, and my swelling goes down/I lose more weight, I will get them resized again to fit..but, I'm guessing that I'm probably a year or more out from hitting my goal weight.

You're on the right track waiting for summer to make sure your ring is not too tight on hot summer days. Don't rush into resizing it. My fingers change a LOT between summer and winter, and it's better to be too loose than too tight.

Rather than alter the ring just for the season, I wear these in the winter, and they work great.

Once summer rolls around, and you've seen some hot days, bring it into a local jeweler and see what they say. If it's a plain metal band, it should be super easy to resize, and I'd expect it to cost on the order of $100 (or less). If it's got designs carved or stamped into it, or tiny stones, it will be tougher.

The easiest way is to go in to any local jeweler, and ask them to check your ring size. It's usually free, easy and accurate. Be sure to check any fingers you are interested in wearing a ring on. Just type the sizes in a note on your phone, then you've got several different fingers if you ever need to know.

The next easiest is order a ring sizing gauge set from somewhere online. Amazon has some. This way however, isn't free. It does get you a ring sizing gauge though if you ever need to use it again.

Here's an Amazon link for one of the many brands of them. They're pretty neat. I like the sleeve better than the metal guards.

Congrats on your loose ring! You'll be getting that final resize before you know it!

Something like this may work if it's only a small size difference. https://smile.amazon.com/Adjuster-Invisible-Transparent-Silicone-Tightener/dp/B07G5Z9X4G/

Amazon has a ton of nice looking tungsten and titanium rings for super cheap. I can share some of the ones on my list if you'd like.

All looks good to me. c:
EDIT: Be warned! That ring mandrel might not be completely round (I'm not too sure from the photo)! It will be really hard to hammer the ring into a cleaner circle! This one would be a pretty good option http://www.armstrongtoolsupply.com/stepped-ring-mandrel.html, although, I prefer a fully round and unmarked one.
EDIT2: Here is a pretty good looking one. c: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Ring-Mandrel-Sizes/dp/B005FN0URK/ref=sr_1_46?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1412715267&sr=1-46&keywords=ring+mandrel

Congrats!!! It's so lovely~ I love 6 prongs too.
I just bought this because the cold weather has made my fingers shrink, but I won't resize mine because it fits perfectly in summer.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B073FDFLSF/
I'm not sure if it's cold where you are but I would take that into account before getting the ring resized :)

I'm doing the same thing! Best option in my opinion are these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073FDFLSF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


You can cut them to size perfectly and they are SO comfortable!

I personally found these less annoying than the kind that fit all the way around the band, but if you remove your ring a lot then the kind that stay on the band like the spiral would be better. I'm planning on having my wedding band fitted properly and hopefully just wear it on top so the engagement ring stays put.

I totally voucher for using these. They come with loads in the pack and I change it out for a new section whenever the plastic starts to turn colors from getting dirty. My hands fluctuate so much throughout the year, between different activities (like cold day at work to doing hot yoga) or even within the normal progression of the day. I have found these to be fantastic and have no complaints. I'm only probably a 1/4 off, but when I tried to my wedding band in addition to the e ring without the plastic loops, it fit perfectly. I don't want to resize my e ring.

Unfortunately the exact one I bought on Amazon is out of stock but look for the same spiral loop. It gives you lots of customization for exactly how much space you need. Much better than the traditional plastic tube, or the metal crimped wire

There’s also this kind, which don’t seem as bulky. I just bought these exact ones and they work perfectly. It’s pretty hard to notice when the size adjuster is on even when looking directly at it from the palm side, and overall it’s really comfortable

This happened to me too! Someone on Reddit recommended these and they saved my life! Not going to resize until I order my wedding band 😊 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0OX3EW?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

You could look around Etsy for a style you like! Since a lot of stuff on Etsy is handmade, the maker should also be able to modify the ring to fit your size. Price there can range from $3 to $50 depending on what you're looking for (though some can be a lot more expensive). Etsy also sells vintage and costume jewelry rings if you know what size to search for!

If you get a plastic ring sizer like this one, it will also be easier know which size to ask for/get!

I'm currently using this!

My engagement ring was a size too big when he proposed so we got it sized, but since then I've lost close to 30 pounds and it quickly became too big again. I don't want to get it sized again until closer to the wedding, so I tried a few different sizers and these coils have been great. They stay on when you take the ring on and off, and really stay nice except for some mild discoloration with wear. I've been using it since April and have only replaced the coil once so far.

We are getting married Nov 7, 2020 and I have lost about 40 lbs since we got engaged!!!! My ring was getting super loose, but I didn’t want to get it resized quite yet, as I still have a bit of weight to lose to get to my goal. I got this from Amazon for $5.99 with low expectations. But it works PERFECTLY and is so comfortable, I hardly even notice it’s there. Just wanted to recommend to anyone in a similar situation!

If you can post a photo, that could be really helpful in giving you advice. Based on what you have provided, here are my 2 best guesses:

If the ring was stamped as "SP", then its silver plated. If this is the case, then the ring is likely copper with silver plating. If heated, the silver plating will burn off, leaving copper showing. The ring could be sized, but it would then need to be replated, which most jewelers do not do. (most store do rhodium plating over white gold, but won't risk contaminating their plating solution with any other metals.).

Conversely, the ring might be stamped as "German Silver" or "Nickel Silver", neither of which contains any pure silver at all. (made of copper, zinc & nickel). If the ring is nickel silver, no jeweler is going to risk sizing it because it could very well destroy the ring. In this case, you are far better off keeping the ring as a keepsake vs. risking it melting during a sizing. I have done a few of these over the years for customers that signed waivers and genuinely didn't care if it was destroyed. While they worked, I doubt it was a long term success.

Your best bet is honestly to grab one of those silicone sizers and not try to size the ring. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/Adjuster-Invisible-Spiral-Silicone-Tightener/dp/B07F1RN1TM/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SGBV5NAAA283P1T4GXWZ

these ones look pretty easy and comfortable jewelry stores use metal and fit it to you. but at least the rubber ones are good til you reach goal weight! <3

I don't know if I'm missing something here, but this doesn't look odd to me at all. I actually like the gap. If the ring moves around so that the little stones don't align with the big stone maybe you could bind the two rings together. You can try using ring size adjusters first if you want to save money instead of going to the jeweler and having them permanently connect them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0OX3EW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I grabbed a sizer set off Amazon since my ring is definitely in that annoying zone of “if it’s cold, it’s too big, and if it’s warm to hot, it fits just fine.” Honestly, the $5 I spent on Amazon was totally worth it.

One of these babies to save on packing materials and having to find the perfectly sized boxes.

u/SandraRosner has offered good advice on this issue.
I would go with clear silicone ring size adjuster, not metal ones. Here's acouple from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Anpro-Adjuster-Sizes-Clear-Resizer/dp/B073FDFLSF/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540226182&sr=8-3&keywords=ring+size+adjuster

Good for you!

One of my goals is to fit back into my wedding ring. I haven't been able to fit since my 8th month of pregnancy, and I'm almost 10 months postpartum. I didn't want to get it resized when I KNOW I need to make a change to my health.

You could always get it resized, or try one of these ring size adjusters

My ring is a bit too big for me right now as well and, I think based on recommendations here, I found this product on Amazon. It's been great for me as I weight to lose the last bit of weight before resizing and as you can see was like $8. Highly recommended.

I have RA so my hands are different sizes depending on how well I’m feeling, so I use a plastic ring adjuster pretty much permanently. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0OX3EW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share is the one I use and it’s worked really well, comes with different sizes adjusters.

I would recommend waiting to re size until your weight has stabilized. Getting the ring re sized multiple times can weaken the ring.

Awesome !

Get some ring sizers like these and keep them handy. I had a friend who lost quite a bit of weight and before she even thought of it, her ring slipped off her finger and I don't think she ever found it again. https://smile.amazon.com/Adjuster-Invisible-Transparent-Silicone-Tightener/dp/B07G5Z9X4G/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=ring+sizers+for+loose+rings+women&qid=1572872233&s=instant-video&sprefix=ring+sizer&sr=8-7

Sorry for the wall-o-link. I'm not great with reddit formatting yet. I'll get the hang of it eventually. I just don't know where to practice.

That box on the bottom brings fond memories of starting out on Amazon. The days before I stumbled across a weird looking ruler with cowboy boot spurs on the bottom

Lumpy boxes are a rite of passage! =]

Yep. I bought this set, it works great.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0757JLTY7/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My fingers thinned out very quickly though. Within a couple of months I was unable to wear my wedding ring.

Looks like it’s time for some of these . Congrats!

I bought these for my wedding rings. Huge lifesaver.

I much prefer coin rings with the writing on the outside and inside, like this.

I tried to make one for my girlfriend's birthday this year, but it was fairly difficult.

I used a punch and die set to punch out the center of the coin, and then put the coin on a ring mandrel and then hammered it down the taper slowly with a nylon faced hammer.

The biggest problem is that my girlfriends ring finger is quite small and I couldn't get the ring any smaller than size 8. I may have to pick up another mandrel with a really narrow top so that I can punch out a smaller hole from the coin to begin with.


I'm sure with enough practice I'll get it looking great, and this method is much quicker than the spoon method (I tried that one first).

Not knockin OPs ring though.. it looks great so far. I know how long it takes to get to that point!

This or this can help with your ring until your weight stabilizes and you can get it resized. :)

I have tiny fingers and I use these to size down my too-big rings. I'm usually a 4.5-5 US and I bought several packs of size 6 rings (they were the smallest size...) and the larger piece works pretty well for most of them!

I had the same issue, but my ring is the tungsten so it can't be resized. I have found these work pretty well!

Here's a temporary fix until you want to do something permanent.

Try this ring sizer:

https://www.amazon.com/GWHOLE-Adjuster-Silver-Polishing-Cloth/dp/B01M0OX3EW

Creepy name, but it works much better on my ring than the traditional sizers. I've got a tacori too btw!

I got a ring adjuster that is basically a plastic spiral that wraps around the ring--like this one. I've had it for about a year now and it's been great. actually haven't replaced the first that I put on, even though I probably need to at this point.

These work great. I used them til I got mine resized.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0OX3EW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZYcZzbFMGJ69B

I ordered this one which actually cost me $25 CAD... it works great and came fast.

Get those silicone ring sizers to keep it fitting until you're ready to resize it. Something like this....
https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Adjuster-Loose-Rings-Assorted/dp/B07C15P2F7

I bought this mandrel on amazon and have been using it to shape coin rings. A bit cheaper and free shipping (prime).

Yeah I have two similar to this. Yeah I guess I'm waiting until I hit my goal weight, realistically I probably won't have to because I don't think I can lose much more in my hands. They are the lankiest piece of me right now.

I bought these ring size adjusters and they are quite cheap and useful! Lots of women in the reviews section said they bought the item because hey have larger knuckles than the rest of their finger https://www.amazon.com/GWHOLE-Adjuster-Silver-Polishing-Cloth/dp/B01M0OX3EW

My ring finger also fluctuates a ton! When necessary I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073FDFLSF Soooo helpful on days it's rolling around and making me nervous! I had it resized when we got engaged because it actually arrived 1.5 sizes bigger than my fiance ordered, but had it done again this past weekend while we were ordering wedding bands. Apparently I'm half a size smaller now than I was in December? Even since Saturday the fit varies day to day and throughout the day, so it's not just you. Maybe you can have yours enlarged slightly and use the adjusters during loose times too.

Here's my set. The wedding band is a quarter size smaller than the ering, and they're not perfectly flush. It doesn't really bother me, but I also plan on getting a separate stackable set since we're using those as the "special occasion" rings. Another option you have is to get a spacer to give a little cushion between them.

I highly recommend something like this for your wedding ring. My husband and I both have them. I'm cico and he has unintentionally lost weight as a result of my healthier dinners.

I know nothing about ring making, and I could be completely off here, but I thought id say it anyway. It could be a "pre-hammered ring". All I know is the put something that looks like that, on one of these things

https://www.amazon.com/Steel-Ring-Mandrel-Size-1-15/dp/B0013TSW9I

Then they hammer it down onto the mandrel. It would shirk in that case, and there are some people who make rings out of actual coins.

Here's an example:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RiCFOwChJwA

I am not sure if the meteorite is too brittle but if you try again you could use a similar sized meteorite by making the ring a different way.

Drill a hole just big enough to fit the meteorite onto a ring mandrel and then hammer around the outside edge to enlarge the hole.

This lets you keep more material so you avoid ending with a thin section.

If you used a brass hammer you might even be able to keep some edge geometry.

This is not my ring if that wasnt clear.

I believe they are made by drilling out the center and then slowly hammering it down a ring mandrel. I lost interest before I ever bought the steel mandrel lol.

I got these for my engagement ring after it fell off, and it’s working for now.

GWHOLE Ring Size Adjuster with Silver Polishing Cloth,Set of 4 (2mm/3mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0OX3EW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_mZQZAbQZQ020S

I'd also recommend these plastic adjusters! I was worried about my fingers swelling during pregnancy so I didn't want to do anything permanent, and these stay on really well.

It is size 6 but its a tiny bit loose (not easy to come off but shifts on my finger most days), currently waiting on an order of ring size adjusters from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/GWHOLE-Adjuster-Silver-Polishing-Cloth/dp/B01M0OX3EW

Cauli rice is one of my go-to meals, and I spice it up many different ways! Penzey's or Mountain Rose have some amazing spice blends you can get to try something new. Also, on the ring front, I bought these little ring sizer adjuster thingies which will do the trick until you can afford to get the rings resized, cut to length and choose the one that is correct for your finger.

I have the same issue, I bought this on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0OX3EW

It comes with several wrap styles and fits my wide band and helps a lot.

Maybe something like this?

Clothes: if she still has a ways to go, have her buy new clothes at a thrift store with a changing room. Don't trust number sizes OR eyes...try them on first to make sure it fits! She's probably used to being "bigger" still and might end up grabbing larger clothes. Go with her and if you see her doing that, say, "hon, I think that might be too big for you now."

Ring: Get your wife some of these ring size adjusters for now. You don't know when her ring size will stabilize, and the last thing you want to do is resize a ring more than twice. Use these!

I would get a temporary ring size adjuster online (a little piece of plastic that will make the ring fit more snugly) until you’re done losing weight. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Ring-Size-Adjuster-Loose-Rings/dp/B0757JLTY7

Also, ask the ring maker if they have a sizer you can use. Even if they’re not local, some will mail you one so that you can check your size at home using the exact same tool they’ll be using.

Ring guards! Buy them on Amazon. I got mine and it had like 12 long coils and i thought I wouldn't need that much because I only have 1 ring too big, but I think I will need most of them. I have to take my wedding/engagement bands every 6 months for cleaning and I'm going to have to replace them each time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBUZPZP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My wedding ring started getting unsettlingly loose, so I ordered some of these. They work great if you're not ready to get your ring(s) resized.

You can buy a little ring guard (not sure if that is the real name) that will reduce the size until you are at your goal weight and have them resized.



Edit: it is a ring guard. https://www.amazon.com/GWHOLE-Adjuster-Silver-Polishing-Cloth/dp/B01M0OX3EW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535852337&sr=8-3&keywords=ring+guard

As a temporary solution, there are plastic ring "size adjusters" you can wear. Here's one example, here's another example.

They sell clear ring sizers to help make them smaller. I wouldn't apply anything in case you do damage it

I’m in the same boat! I found these size adjusters on amazon and I’m going to try them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0757JLTY7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Pj14Ab2BZQVWE

Amazon. Got a ton of them in a pack for 6 bucks!

Have you checked cardboard dumpsters out behind stores? I can usually find a decent variety of different sized boxes behind dollar stores and other shops. Saves you some money too.

Also, as mentioned, you could use a box resizer like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Aviditi-SIZER-Carton-Sizer-Reducer/dp/B000ZJOGHE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409259088&sr=8-1&keywords=box+resizer

Definitely wait! From my heaviest, my ring finger is now 2 sizes smaller than it used to be. These size guards can keep it from spinning around or being too loose until you’ve settled into a goal weight.

I bought this on Amazon :
GWHOLE Ring Size Adjuster with Silver Polishing Cloth,Set of 4 (2mm/3mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0OX3EW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_uEB4avXEitfWl

Just for a temporary fix. Once I get down a bit more, I'm going to get my ring resized.

Necklace would work - or, there's these: http://www.amazon.com/RING-NOODLE-1-Petite-1-Narrow-Adjuster/dp/B00GUTWY5E...

Box cutter + one of these

They have plastic or metal thingys that you can put on rings to make them smaller Example

Silicone Spiral Ring Guard

Amazon

Get yourself one of these! I haven't wanted to get my wedding set sized either, so this works in the interim!

I bought these! They came with a bunch of sizes https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0OX3EW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the wrong sub. This is for the Ring Doorbell/Alarm/Camera company. But I recommend this.

You can always get one of the wedding ring adjusters.

I got a tape gun used for $15 on ebay

I use this one from Amazon:

It serves its purpose and is comfortable, but if you forget to take your ring off when you wash your hands, it gets kinda gross and full of soap.

YO I FUCKED THIS UP! DON'T BE ME! I went through her ring box while she was out of town, measured them all, averaged them, and it turned out she had like high school rings in there, and a toe ring, and a ring of her grandmother's.

I proposed and she couldn't get the ring on and she was cool about it but it wasn't really OK. There are all these photos on Facebook that she took that night and her finger is like turning purple.

IF IN DOUBT GET IT TOO BIG and have a stash of ring size adjusters in your pocket just in case. It's easy and cheap to get it resized later.

ALSO DON'T BE ME: somehow I had it in my head that you only wear an engagement ring until marriage so it's not that big a deal if it doesn't fit right or isn't perfect. This is completely false and I am an idiot with a wife who is way out of my league but fortunately hasn't realized it yet.
