my engagement ring is properly sized, but it becomes very loose in cold weather. so loose that it flips around all the time and is almost falling off.

anyone know where i can get a simple, indiscrete spacer to put in the band? the ring can't be made smaller, since it's snug in warm weather. do i need to go to a jewelers, or would target/walmart carry what i'm looking for?

oh....a jewelry store maybe?

work out more and your finger will probably have better circulation and not shrink

i prefer the garage, but ok, to chitchat it is!

i know the ones they have at walmart are clear plastic kinda stuff - they look big though - they fit around the bottom of the ring (i think you can find them where the cheap jewelry racks are).. maybe $3-4

^^^ring guard is what you're looking for, most reputable jewlers will have them

Just from observation, one you'd get from Wal-mart will probably either break, be huge and ugly, or turn your finger lovely shades of green. I'd be safe and hit up a jeweler. Not sure a pawn shop would carry something trifling like that. My friend had one for his class ring.

I went to some random jewlery store in Cary Townscenter and they were able to put one on for me. I think I paid around $10 for it.. but it's very comfortable (not the big bulky plastic ones) and it matches the white gold of my ring - so it's not even noticeable.

My fiancee just had some sizing beads put on her ring for the same reason. We went to Jolly's in North Hills and then did a great job. It was free, but that was because I got the ring there. I dont know how much it would cost otherwise, but they did a good job.

there's a place in the mall that is by the food court that put one on my grandma's engagement ring for me. I wore it for years until i got my own. it was like 1 dollar

you can just pour hot wax from a candle between your finger and the ring...and it'll solidify and Voila! the ring will fit
that's what I've heard anyway

You just need to get fatter.
