My new ring is here! I really think it turned out good. The only thing wrong is its still to big! We had to order a whole new mounting because the first one couldn't be sized down enough. So after what seemed like forever, its back. I picked it up today and its still to be.

It stays upside down all the time. I guess I will have to give it up again to have it sized down, but I'm gong to wear it for a couple of days first!

would sizing beads or an inside bridge help? It''s a beauty!!!
 
I don''t know. I''m going to call Thurs. to see what they say. The shank has diamonds all the way around with a very very small sizing space. I don''t know if that will be enough to help or not.

Lovely ring! I''m sorry it doesn''t fit perfectly yet but it does look beautiful on you.

Oh I like that! Very nicely done! I was going to suggest sizing beads as well...how big is too big? Will it fall off, or is it just a bit loose?
 
CWJ,

I was hoping you''d do a new post on your ring when it arrived! It is beautiful! I especially like the side view! Are you sure it can''t be sized locally? I know you''d hate to give it up so soon...again! Your center stone looks wonderful in that setting - don''t you think? Are you thrilled with it?

Thanks for letting me gawk enviously at your new ring! Hopefully, soon you can gawk at mine. Congrats on the exquisite new ring!

Thank you. It slides fairly easy off, and it stayed upsided down all day.

Thanks alot 3shebabes, I do think the center stone turned out pretty good. I was really worried, I talked to the guy taking care of it before the final order was placed and decided to order a color down for the side stones. They are now an H instead of a G. I really think the G would have out shined and taken over my center stone.

oooo what a lovely ring! sorry it''s not fitting properly. It''s really beautiful!

I hope they are able to get it sized correctly!!!
 
Lovely ring - it must be driving you mad though not fitting right. Hope you can have it resized and back where it belongs in no time.
 
Its very beautiful! It must be really upsetting that you have to give it up again to have it sized down!

I think I'd have them size it first, what they can. I can't tell you if that will be enough, you'll just have to see. But I'd go that route before the beads. And also, even if it's still a little loose, I'd wait til summer, unless you live where it's warm now. Summer time tends to make us swell a bit, and you might find it fits perfectly then, without being to snug.


Very pretty!!
 
why does it keep being made to big? are you being sized incorrectly or is the ring coming back in the incorrect size? Although I know it's hard to be without it, i'd definitely send it back to be sized by the maker or if you were sized and the ring was supposed to be made in a 5 and it's a size 6, they need to make it again for you in the correct size.

i do agree with Ellen that a little big in the winter may not be a bad thing b/c in the summer many times the rings will fit much better, but it shouldn't be so loose that it can easily spin or even fall off

You ring is really beautiful though and I love the design on the sides....

That's what I wondered too....
 
Absolutely beautiful. Hopefully it will stay put on your fin. soon!
 
Oh it''s gorgeous. I LOVE the setting! I agree with the others, a little loose now might not be a bad thing. My rings are always a little loose in the winter but come summer fit just fine. I do swell in the heat. I also agree that if it''s just a little loose then beads or a bridge might be just the thing. It is beautiful though, and it would be a real shame if you have to send it away again!
 
WOW.. That is really beautiful..
 
I''m not sure what the deal is with the sizing. It is suppose to be 5 1/4 this time. I know a little loose is okay right now, but I really think it will be big even in the summer. I am going to ask them about sizing this one as much a possible. I know they can''t go very much smaller without effecting the prongs on the shared stones.

Oh I forgot to thank everybody for all the nice words!! I was a wreck waiting to see what this turned out like. I thought it looked pretty good until I saw devonht''s 4.41. Now thats a ring!! haha But mine is great for me and I do like the way it turned out.
Thanks again,
cwj
 
well, i''d find out if it really is a 5 1/4. if it''s not, they should remake it at no charge to you in the correct size. I don''t like rings that are too tight, but too loose and spinning would drive me nuts too. if it is a true 5 1/4 then you might have to pay for the resize down to maybe a 5 and or do the sizing bar/beads thing.
 
Okay, I missed this the first go round and thought commenting now is better late than never!

Your ring is beautiful and I''d love to see more pictures!!!
