My rings are so tight

I finally got them off this weekend, and my finger is really bruised.
Anyone else have this problem?
Do you think its just the heat or should I enlarge them?

Re: My rings are so tight

Your fingers swell when its warm and shrink when its cold. If it hurts,then I would talk to the jeweler.
It shouldn't hurt.

Helen its definately the heat, I had a hard time getting mine off yesterday.

Your fingers swell in the heat.

My fingers are HUGE right now! It's crazy, my ring is so tight and I had to add my extra link to my watch today.

Drink lots of water..it helps a little.

Re: My rings are so tight

My ring gets tight sometimes, but I've never had any bruising -- that would make me worry a bit!

I have never had them that tight where they bruised my finger. I would talk to your jeweler.

Re: My rings are so tight

Did you bruise it taking it off? That's a possibility....
If it's still swelling, soak your hands in cold water, and use dish soap to get the ring off next time.

Re: My rings are so tight

My ring is tight, too. But it never bruised my finger. I just have to really struggle to get it off, and on some days I have to soap it off. I'm going to wait until the fall/winter to see how it fits before I have it enlarged.

The bruising makes me think you might need to talk to the jeweler, though. Maybe it's not the weather and your rings really ARE too tight....

Re: My rings are so tight

Everyone needs to make sure you drink A LOT of water in this heat- it will help bring down the swelling...

Re: My rings are so tight

Yeah, it's the heat. My fingers are so swollen, I can't take them off!! I usually take them off at night when I go to bed, but the past week or two, I just can't take them off. I wouldn't change the size or anything, just be careful wearing them.
