Hey everyone! My name is Elisha and I'm newly engaged! My wedding date is 6/11/17 ! My FH purchased my engagement ring a size 6 which was my ring size before I had our son. I've gained a lot of weight since then (60 lbs to be exact) and I'm now a size 8. FH didn't realize that due to my weight...

Hey everyone! My name is Elisha and I'm newly engaged! My wedding date is 6/11/17 Smiley smile! My FH purchased my engagement ring a size 6 which was my ring size before I had our son. I've gained a lot of weight since then (60 lbs to be exact) and I'm now a size 8. FH didn't realize that due to my weight gain my ring size has increased. I am already in the process of losing weight but I think I should resize my ring so I can be able to wear it now. FH thinks I should wait since my ring size may go back to a 6 after I lose the weight. What should I do? Get the ring resized or just wait until I get to my weight goal?

    Resize it, As long as the design of the ring can take the sizing and not compromise the setting you will be fine, just make sure they add gold. I am a manager at a home owned Jewelry store, you will be fine as long as you find a reputable company and ask their advice first.

    Definitely wait if you plan on losing weight, it would also be an extra incentive! To much resizing does weaken the band.if you were only getting it done once it would be different, but twice I wouldn't risk it..

    I know how excited you must be to wear your ring but just wait until you lose weight. Let your ring be your motivation to lose weight quicker! You have the rest of your life to wear your ring. What's a few more months of waiting going to do?

    Check with your jewler. Some rings can only be resized once.

    The ring has our son's birth stone color & the Paris theme of the necklace is because I am half French but I rarely ever speak on it so he wanted me to show it off Smiley smile
