Bigger is not always better. For instance, when you are talking about your engagement ring. I'm not talking about stones or carats! I think so long as it was picked for you and with love, the size, type, and color of the ring are unimportant... And maybe rings aren't even your cup of tea! But that's really all besides the point...
When I received
my engagement ring, I loved it. But it was fully two sizes too big for my
finger. My fiance-to-be had taken several rings from my jewelry box with him to
the jeweler, but later found out that none of those rings were meant to be worn
on my ring finger.
If this happens
to you, don’t panic! Rings can be sized very easily at the jeweler where they
were purchased (mine was sized for free).
If you need a
quick fix, like I did, try using twine or string. Tie one end on the band and
wrap until you've reached the thickness you need. Tie the other end off and
enjoy your bling without the risk of losing it. This sizing method certainly
worked better than others that I tried (including a hair tie and ribbon…), and
came recommended by a jeweler.
A jeweler also
told me that thin aquarium plastic tubing could be used to create a more secure
fit, if you prefer to explore that method. He did tell me, however, to avoid
store bought ring guards. He explained that they are essentially a wire that
spans the ring and can scratch the metal band, scarring it
forever!

That’s it from me
for now, but for more of my wedding wondering and bridal breakthroughs, check

P.S. If your nails aren't ring-worthy and you don’t have time to
visit a salon, try Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails. You can get them at
any drug store! I wore them recently and was really impressed! ;)
