Don't Lose It

Beyonce once said, "If you like it, put a ring on it." Well, if you are looking at this site, most likely you've done that or plan on doing that. The real trick is, however, keeping that ring on that finger. Now, I'm not talking about marriage counseling. What I'm talking about is the fitting.


We've all heard the horror stories (dropped down the drain, accidentally thrown away, etc) but just a couple of weeks ago, a lady lost her wedding ring as she was passing out candy to trick-or-treaters. According to Fox News, the lady stated:

"I had it enlarged, and then when it got cold you know your fingers get smaller, and I noticed that it was spinning around more than it had been before, but I didn't realize that it would slip off"

You don't want to make the same mistakes, so here are some suggestions for you:

• Have your ring sized properly. most rings come in 'whole' sizes (5,6,7,etc) but can actually be sized to you exactly. (For example, 7.25.)
• For rings that slide over because they are 'top heavy' can be 'squared off' on the bottom. This is an amazing adjustment. Your big ring will stay in place perfectly.
• Don't wear your ring to the beach or other places that it could slip off due to wetness.
• Buy a metal detector. (You can't anticipate everything.)

On the other hand, that is one great treat from some kid! Take that sucker to the pawn shop and invest it, and he'll be set for atleat one semester of college... hopefully.
