It does happen, especially for wedding and eternity rings that are worn all day every day for years. Getting diamond rings stuck also happens when the gentleman making the proposal guesses the ring size wrong. Understandably reluctant to spoil the surprise by asking the (hopefully) bride to be her size, most people make a guess, and of course that choice might not be spot on.
So, what to do if diamond rings gets stuck? First of all, don’t worry at it. That will just cause the finger to swell, which will only make it worse and can result in quite severe pain and even harm the hand. Don’t try to use butter, soap, or oil as a lubricant either. It probably won’t help and will almost certainly get stuck in the setting. Diamond rings can be difficult to clean, and that is especially true when substances like these get into them.
Run the hand with the ring on it under a cold tap for a minute or two. The chill will take down any swelling and divert blood away from the fingers, making them significantly thinner in size. Make sure the plug is in the sink first though! That might well do the trick. If not, try soaking the hand in ice water for as long as you can bear to get the same effect, only more so.
Once you’ve got the ring off, get it re-sized. For any diamond rings sold by ROX, your first resizing is free. Any high street jeweller will be happy measure your finger for ring size. Send it back to us with your measured size, and we’ll sort it out for you.
