I have a question that SUM buddy in this group must have figured out. How do you wear a significant ring (i.e. wedding band) when you have a constant problem of finger swelling. My finger swells and the one with the ring turns blue.. YIKES... then my swelling goes away and the ring, if it's still there, slips off and gets lost.
I am thinking of a remedy for this, but want to hear the wisdom of the ages....

1. Wear it through your nose?
2. Could you have it cut at an angle, so that the two sides of the cut slide over each-other as your finger expands and contracts (would only work if the ring is flexible)? -- Andy Taylor [Chair, N E Lupus Group] See http://www.northeastlupus.org.uk for more!
I have the same problem. You can get plastic ring sizers that are removable. They fit on the inside of the band in the back. Have the ring sized maybe 1/2 size larger to accommodate it, & when your swelling goes up, simply remove the plastic sizer. Here's a neat trick that a jeweler told me about. If you can't get a ring off because of swelling, use Windex. Absolutely amazing! That's what the hospitals use before they start cutting. The ring, not your finger.

Andy, Andy, come on now. Why didn't you tell her to put it on a necklace? And the ones that are cut at an angle used to be sold in gum-ball machines. Or, she could use angora to wrap it with. Remember? ;) Candi

If you use Windex, make sure you put a washcloth in the sink before you use it so the ring doesn't slip down the drain. Also, Windex is a really good ring cleaner without abrasives. And no, I don't own stock in Windex.

Gee Candi, you arejust full of innovative ideas. Andy's ideas sounded a little spooky to me.
1) Yeah I've worn my wedding rings around my neck for years. Now I've been single for 10 years, and I just want to wear a ring on my finger the way normal people do [she pouts].
1) Windex is basically ammonia in water. I never thought of ammonia as slippery, but if they do it in hospitals, what the hey! (I've done stranger things in hospitals
2) Where would one get the "ring sizer" object you talked about in the other post. I was hoping the ultimate solution to this might be a *flexible* ring sizer. The ring in question is already larger by about one size, so that spacer thing might really work
3) I was hoping not to resort to angora, but it seems to be the easyiest answer so far. It would make me feel like I am in the Pep Squad again! I could sure use some of that "pep" now!
Thanks Candi

Well, maybe they put something else in Windex to make it blue - don't know. I just know it gets rings off & cleans them. The ring things I was referring to may be what you're talking about with the 'flexible ring sizer'. You can get them at WalMart or any jeweler.
I used to love angora - everyone knew you were going steady! And I could use some of that pep right about now too. First, the grandkids' dad killed himself New Years Eve & then my hubby's business was broken into last weekend & they got away with $150,000 worth of stuff. Hope this isn't an indication of the year to come!
Stop pouting. Get the ring thing & some Windex. (Again, I do NOT have stock in the stuff. You can get generic.)

I will make a note of these places to look for a ring sizer and see what I come up with. In a few days though. I am down with one of the worst colds I have ever had. Oh god, I am so incredibly *sick* (ha ha) if you know what I mean....

My fingers swell also. My right hand swells more than my left. When I am wearing rings, I put a ring that normally fits on my right hand ring finger on my left hand index finger. When all else fails I put several rings on a nice gold chain, and wear them as a necklace. When swelling subsides, you can place the rings on your fingers. I also have swollen joints, I do have one ring that a jeweler placed a hinged fastener on. I can wear it when my fingers are swollen or not. Open the hinge,place ring on desired finger, slide fastner closed and it will stay on my finger until I open it up and remove the ring. The only problem is these fasteners are fairly expensive. Hope this is helpful. Wende
I looked at the websites and they were really groovy!
but I do not have large knuckles to pass a ring over. My fingers are short and stubby, and actually look like baby's hands.
I would like to know more about the silicone ring sizer that you mentioned. Where did you get that, and how does it work? It may be the answer to my problem!
The hinges can be used to add size to the ring or to remove a ring after the finger has swollen. Hope that makes sense.
I had my ring sized several sizes too big. Walmart carries the silicone ring sizers. I always have to ask where to find 'em but the people behind the jewelry counter know. good luck "Mary Rawle" <nobody@nowhere.net> wrote in message news:4GPAf.21167$PL5.10290@newssvr11.news.prodigy.com...>

some of that does not make sense. The "can be used to add size to the ring" that part. I played most of the little visual bits on the hinge webpage, and they seem really neet, but they need to be welded onto your ring and they then make up the back portion of the ring. is this the same type of hinge you are talking about?

Yes, the hinge is added to the back of your ring. When you open it, you can get your ring off your swollen finger. So there's room to get it off.
