1. The wedding or engagement ring is just too large<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deciding how tight the wedding ring should be is very difficult. During the initial days, weeks and months of wear, a wedding ring can feel quite alien. If your wedding ring slides onto the finger and has to be worked over the knuckle, there is less risk of the ring coming off. Don’t worry if the ring produces a visible mark on the finger over time. This is normal. Your wedding ring is a hard metal and your finger is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rings are worn constantly, usually result in a smooth impression below the ring. If your finger is obviously swollen and if there is discomfort or pain, then your ring is clearly too tight. For engagement rings, a turning ring may indicate that the ring size needs reducing. A quick temporary measure can be a small insert. Snuggies are available as a temporary measure. We do, recommend a professional re-size as a permanent solution to avoid loss of the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
