I caught a virus a few years back that gave me arthritis in my hands. I woke one morning to find that my fingers had swelled & my wedding, engagement & etenity were cutting into me. I sat in the jewellers sobbing on my husband as they cut them off. My rings mean a lot to me as I fortunately have always had a happy marrigae. They were made bigger & have never had any more problem once the virus burnt itself out. I went to M&S immediately after they were cut off & got a cheap gold band to wear whist my rings were repaired.
