Hi,
My engagement ring has become very loose and I'm afraid of losing it!
I do not want to have it altered (I was duped once) at a jewellers, is there something on the market that maybe fits on to the ring to give it a snug fit?
Thanks for any advice.

    You could get a ring size reducer, something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Set-Sizing-Ring-Guards-Silver/dp/B00KVJ4NL2/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1414357651&sr=8-12&keywords=ring+size+reducers

    I'm sure a jeweller would sell them.

    Hi
    Have a look on eBay for something called Spiral Ring Snuggies kit - it is only a few pounds and works well.:j

    Or do what i do and put another ring on the finger to stop the Engagement ring falling off so maybe get your guy to get a wedding ring

    I must admit, I had my hands in front of my face and was peering through fingers until I was sure there were no pictures.

    Being in the "I wanna buy-it or do-it" section made it rather... ambiguous. :eek:

    Being duped once doesn't mean you'll have the same problem with another jeweller. Perhaps try to get some personal recommendations? If the ring means a lot to you, as it does, the DIY 'solutions' aren't very good and you risk losing the ring.
