NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

PLASTIC RING GUARDS quickly? As in, TOMORROW?

I'll be at the Roosevelt Field Mall, if that helps.

TIA again.

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

Heehee...any jewelry place, Zales, Kay Jewelers, etc. can put in temporary ring guards (not plastic, usually silver or stainless) right in front of you. Much better than plastic too!

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

won't the metal scratch up my ring?

I've heard the plastic doesn't scratch it - and it'll only be on there for 10 days

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

p.s. GREAT time to think about this, right?

Leaving Tuesday morning - don't even have enough CLOTHING to go! Hitting the mall tomorrow to buy essentials.

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

It can, but it's really minimal, the same as you brushing the ring against any surface and it can very easily be polished off...your ring is plat, right?

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

18K WG. - but it's a custom setting w/ hand engraving all around.

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

OK...get plastic. You're right, you definitely don't want to scratch your ring especially because polishing takes longer since it has to be re-dipped in rhodium afterwards. I actually don't know where to find plastic guards...sorry!

But I hear ya on the waiting for the last minute thing, I went shopping for my HM on Wed and my wedding was on Friday.

ETA: Another reason why you don't want to scratch your ring and have to polish it is because the engraving can definitely become compromised...not worth it!

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

ok, well I'll TRY to find the plastic tomorrow.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for all of your help tonight - go turn off that Stern!!!

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

thanks again - g'night hun!!

Just searched pricescope.com - many girls have bought ring snuggies (plastic/rubber) at claires! I'm off to Claire's tomorrow!

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

DO NOT GET THE TEMP GUARDS! I had it put on at fortunoff...the guy said it may scratch a bit, but I was not prepared for what it did.. I was crying! The platinum was practically cut..it was awful! I found this website online and they shipped the guards to my house. They worked perfectly!
The good thing is they are plastic and you can cut them with a scissor to custom fit your ring!

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

thanks sea - those are the same ones at Claires. I was just on their site.

I'm DEFINITELY getting plastic, not metal. I'll have it properly sized when i get back in a couple weeks.

Re: NEW q =) Anyone know where I can buy

What are ring guards for? In case you don't get your ring resized... ?

my e-ring has hand-engraving all the way around the band, and I don't want to have the ring cut and resized. It DID fit when I got it, but I've lost some weight, and now it spins.

I anticipate getting chubbier someday (esp. when preggo!), so I'm going to have the ring shots/ring sizer balls/beads soldered in to stop the spinning when I get back from my trip

Yes, ring guards are for rings that aren't resized to fit you perfectly.
