In case you didn't know, the average american woman's ring size is a size 6. A few months ago, I took off my engagement ring and put it safely away... it was getting too loose! Both that ring and my wedding band are a size 9. So, I got a new "fake" engagement ring to hold my wedding band in place and went on my happy way. I remember being thrilled to be able to buy a ring "over the counter" at Kohl's, and I just figured it was probably a size 8 or so, 'cause that had to be a lot smaller than a size 9, right? Well this ring is now getting loose, so yesterday, I decided to see what Kohl's had in their clearance section... everything I tried on was too big - and so I asked the lady what the ring I have on is, and it was a 6.5... and I am fitting a size 6 now! Holy Cow! They didn't even have any (on sale) in stock in that size because most people don't fit that! Great NSV. I do need to find another ring soon though - or take off my wedding band until I get to the point of having them resized because it is just SWIMMING on my finger! Maybe I'll look around on Overstock.com or QVC and see what I can find!!!

That is awesome!! Yesterday I looked down and saw my fingers getting thinner...it's an amazing feeling!
I have a few gold rings but most of mine are silver. I have found out that a good jeweler can re-size silver rings. Some jewelers won't touch them. Congrats!
That is awesome. You should do some hand pics for us. :)
Definitely tell your DH! You are looking so great that maybe he'll do the ring-finding legwork for you so that other guys won't think you are single!! ;) Hee hee!
Woooheee! I'm waiting to lose a few ring sizes, started at a tight 10 and now 9s are looser, but sticking...congrats, it's definitely a great NSV!
What an awesome NSV. I can't wait to fit into my wedding ring again. I'm so jealous.
I am the same way...my ring just spins and spins on my finger. I should get a fake one too, good idea.
