With the lovely Tag Heuer Diamond Link my wonderful boyfriend gave me
I am a biologist and have worked with marine mammals and fish so I totally understand the in-and-out-of-water hand swelling! Yup, and that heavy hand feeling is a wonderful one isn''t it? My ering weighs 7.25 grams and the set together is probably close to double that. Glad you found a solution to the ring spinning, and thanks for the info on the sizing beads!Date: 8/27/2007 1:44:25 PM

ITA with Monarch...Your ring is a beauty. Congrats on being able to purchase it for yourself!
I do have questions for you about those sizing thingies...
1) if you are wearing the ring all the time, are they comfortable?
2) if you notice your fingers change sizes throughout the day, do the sizing/shank balls accomodate without being too snug?
1) I never take my ring off. I forget to put jewelry back on if I remove it, so I never do. At first my hand felt heavy (oh what a wonderful feeling though!) but the ring was constantly spinning between my fingers and the diamond would irritate my pinky finger. I had the sizing beads put on about 4 months after I bought the ring.
2) I work at an aquarium (I sell saltwater fish for hobbist tanks, I don''t work with dolphins) so my hands are always in and out of water and they swell a lot. The sizing beads don''t bother me at all. The only time it becomes a problem is when I try to take it off immediately after work without using soap or lotion, they kind of scrape (but not painfully) my finger. I do have a ''ring line'' that never goes away though so I guess it could be considered snug, but that doesn''t bother me either. Overall I love having the sizers there because my fingers change sizes with the slightest weight loss or gain which can be a pain. I''ll probably have them on my wedding rings too (if I''m EVER not a LIW!!) Hope that helped!!
