Clever (IMHO) and very different ring spacer!

[Rubies-R-Me]

Hello!
I recently won this vintage Tiffany sapphire and diamond ring from an auction house. I had the perfect band (also Tiffany) to go with it to wear as an alternate wedding set.
Well after I got the solitaire ring sized and put both together I saw that the prongs on the bottom and the gallery on the top rubbed together like crazy.
I was like Goldilocks.. first I tried a plain white gold wedding band as a spacer and it looked too "fat" to me.:roll
Then I tried a very skinny spacer from Etsy and it was too thin to do the job.:roll
I thought and I thought.. and realized what I wanted was a clear rubber ring to go in between as the perfect spacer.
I looked silicone wedding bands online but they were too thick.
Then I went to the plumbing department of Lowes and I found just what I was looking for but they were only available in black. That wouldn't be good.
I now knew the size I needed and what they were called.. O-rings!
I googled and googled and came up with a company that sells O-rings for ear gauges in clear rubber!!
Ordered them lickety split.. they came yesterday and I'M THRILLED!!!
JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
My story has a happy ending.. awww.

I think you’ve filled your creative jewellery quota for the year @Rubies-R-Me!

That juxtaposition of rare and valuable and... rubber for ear gauges...

Oh this is why I love PS.. nicest peeps ever!
I haven't posted much lately.. so sorry to anyone's finery that I have overlooked.
Diamondseeker.. thank you for your sweet compliments as always!
Sharon.. I have missed you too girlie! I always think of you when I buy slightly used branded pieces.
Thank you kindred! I thought it was a clever solution too.
Thanks Luce!
Thank you Kipari for your kind words!
Yssie.. I loved the contrast of rare and valuable too! Perfectly stated. It was a bit embarassing at Lowes when the very helpful clerk asked me what I needed the rubber gaskets for.

Sharon.. LOVE those earrings!
Haven't been hankering for sapphire earring but I would LOVE a new white gold watch with sapphire markers or a sapphire bezel or both.
I actually today was in a department store that had a VCA department and tried on a thin white gold Perlee band and it looked great as a spacer.
Going to keep my eyes peeled for a "slightly used" one in size 47.
