Rings Poll

[merryrissmas]

Lurking the engagement ring thread on parenting yesterday reminded me of how much I love looking at beautiful jewelry. Let's see 'em.

My ring hasn't fit for a while. I'm too damn swollen

[LadyNymeria]

Mine are ok so far, with a couple days they got tight (hot out, not enough water). They always get tight in the summer so I imagine they'll get REALLY tight this summer. We'll see if I have to take them off or not.

If it comes to it, even though my wedding band and engagement ring are the same ring size, I think I could get more time out of being able to wear my wedding ring alone rather than my whole set.

My ring was slightly big after resizing it after my last pregnancy/weight gain. I'll post a pic when I get upstairs

[sodapop]

Like LadyNymeria, eventhough the engagement and wedding rings are the same size, they are not, so I've been wearing my wedding solo for a while now.

[annapunkalunka]

I just got a second band for mine. It's half a size bigger than my wedding set, so I need to get it sized, but I think I'll wait until post baby so I can wear it solo once my engagement ring doesn't fit.
Also, taking a good pic of rings is hard!

[cbowl]

My rings are just a little to big so they fit perfectly right now. I think by around 35ish weeks I had to take them off last time and then I couldn't get them back on for several weeks post partum bc of all that fun swelling.

[briannea]

I'd post a pic but I haven't worn my rings in months. I had awful post partum swelling last time ago I suspect it'll be a long time till I can get them back on. I also stopped wearing even stud earrings because my toddler couldn't keep her hands off.

[merryrissmas]

Ooh, everyone's rings are gorgeous!! And you're right, annapunkalunka, ring pics are impossible to take, I can't get a good one at all. I also need serious lotion and a manicure, holy crap:


I told DH it would be nice to someday get an eternity band for each child's birthstone so I could switch them with my wedding bands, or stack them or whatever. We'll see if I can ever make that happen, haha.

[danielle]

I'm starting to get a bit of finger muffin top. We'll see how long they last.

[serendipity731]

I don't have a band, just the engagement ring. I love the antique look, but this is not antique.

[beckyrosen]

I haven't been wearing my ring for a while now. I was puffy and it was irritating me so I took it off. I do go through stages where my fingers get puffy, then they de puff, and I assume I probably am doing that now but I don't wanna mess with my ring all the time.

[fem]

Mine are nothing flashy because I really don't wear much jewelry and I don't think I could stand a big ring. Special though-the diamond is from DH's Grandma's ring.

[cassey910]

I really need to clean mine but here it is.

[olive]

They need to be cleaned. They are still fitting well with a little extra room. With DS they were off by now!

[lexisophie55]

I wore mine into the delivery room with DS1 and DS2. Im a non-sweller - lucky!

[hurricanerek]

Mine have been off for about a month. I wanted to get a pic though and they fit perfectly on my pinkie!

[lpj]

Mine are very simple but I love them.

[sodapop]

pippacricket, I love your nail polish. Do you remember the name of the colour?

[rufus426]

My wedding ring is all engraved, no diamonds, but the engraving sparkles. I don't wear any jewelry besides my wedding band and engagement ring so I didn't want anything big or flashy.

[lovetruly2015]

Im back to wearing mine. I stopped for a while because my fingers did swell a little not much but just enough to makenit uncomfortable every now and then I could wear the ring and leave the bands at home. Mine look flashy but is kinda small but super sparkly and I love it. My one requirement for my ring was it not be big. I was in school when we got married and didn't want it getting caught in fabric and getting in the of my rulers.

Late to this party but I'm actually wearing mine today (I don't wear them to work).


H picked out the ring himself. It doesnt really photograph well, its so much nicer IRL.

[kerbear]

Love my engagement ring.

I'm 99% sure it was Staycation by Red Carpet Manicure. I use the gel polish but I just checked and I think they make that color in regular polish too!

Regular polish is not available here, boo.

Did you get the gel kit and do it yourself?

I luuuuuuuurrrrrrve my rings, but I haven't worn them in weeks. I'm swelling pretty badly. I can get them on, but I'm scared about getting them off. I'm irrationally paranoid that they'd have to be cut off one of these days.

I hear you. I took off my engagement ring pretty early on for fear of not being able to take it off later on. My wedding ring is a bit bigger, but I play with a lot to see how much room and I still have.

With my feet starting to swell I keep making sure I can get my rings off a different times during the day. I would hate for them to be cut off because I just didn't stop wearing them early enough.

I don't wear them when I shower though and I shower at night when my swelling is the worst, so I figure as long as I can get my rings off for my shower at night I'm probably ok wearing them the following day. The first time I have problems getting them off I'll drop down to just my wedding band since that alone will fit longer than my set. And do the same until just the band gets tight.

I'd just been wearing my wedding band for about a month but my girlfriend found this dollar store-looking ring under the bed at our hotel and I've been shamelessly rocking it ever since.

[sodapop]

I'm officially done wearing rings until I deliver.
