Many people have gotten a ring stuck on a swollen finger, whether it was due to pregnancy, general weight gain or a ring that's too small. While it's not impossible to get the ring off, it can be a little trying and may involve a little bit of discomfort.

1.Lather soap all over your finger. Put your finger under warm water. Pull on it until it slips loose.

2.Envelop your finger from the ring up as tight as you can with clingy plastic food wrap.Grease up the ring and your swollen finger below the clingy wrap. Wait a couple of minutes,then pull the ring and the clingy wrap at the same time.

3.Spray window cleaner on the ring. This works better than lotion because it doesn't damage the precious stones and leaves the ring shiny when you finally get the ring off your swollen finger.

4.Wrap tape around your finger just past the ring. Leave the tape on for 30 minutes. Ice your hand while holding it above your heart for another 15 minutes. Take off the tape and spray window cleaner on your finger. Twist the ring around your finger while pulling itoff.

5.Take a piece of thick string and wrap it very tightly down to the ring starting from the top of your finger. Put the end of the string under the ring then pull up slowly working up over the top of the string.

A wedding band symbolizes a couple's marriage to one another. Wedding rings come in many styles and can be created from different types of precious metals and gemstones. Designing your own wedding band is a rewarding experience and it will ensure that you are completely satisfied with the most important piece of jewelry you own.

1.Talk with your fiance and decide on a budget. Creating the budget is the starting point for designing your wedding ring because it will help you determine the types of metal and gemstones used in the final product. Budgeting beforehand will also ensure that you stay on track and don't spend more money than you have.

2.Research styles of wedding bands to see what you prefer. Read bridal magazines or browse jewelry websites to get inspiration for your wedding band design. There are many styles of wedding bands available, so choose a type that fits with your personality. For example, if you spend a lot of time outdoors, you may not want a wedding band with intricate engraved details that could get dirty or scratched.

3.Decide what type of metal to use for your wedding band. There's a variety of metals to choose from and each has its own characteristics to determine. Platinum is quickly becoming popular for its durability, whereas gold, available in white, yellow and rose, remains a popular choice for traditional brides. Alternative metals, such as tungsten, titanium and ceramic, are also available and provide additional strength, durability and scratch resistance.

4.Choose gemstones if you want them incorporated into your wedding band design. Sapphires,diamonds, rubies and emeralds are a few of the choices available and will make a gorgeous addition to your wedding band. Keep in mind that the wedding band should complement the engagement ring, not detract from it.

5.Find a reputable jewelry company to make the wedding band. The jeweler should be professional and understanding of everything you want in your custom designed wedding band. When choosing a jeweler to create your wedding ring, remember to use those accredited by the Gemological Institute of America and the Jewelers of America. This will ensure your wedding ring is made from quality materials with the expertise needed to get it perfect.

Wedding rings are used to symbolize the eternal bond of marriage, and should reflect the same good taste and style that infuses your approaching marriage. It's important for your partner to be happy with their ring, but you don't have to shoot from the hip when choosing the band. Here is how to buy a wedding ring.

1.Find out your partner's taste. Perhaps even choose the ring together. If secrecy is a priority, enlist a mutual friend to broach the subject.

2.Ask about heirlooms. This might be an easy and meaningful solution to this delicate problem. Check with your parents and other relatives to see if there's a band you can use.

3.Choose a wedding band that matches the engagement ring so that they can be worn at the same time or eventually fused.

4.Shop around. Ask friends and family about jewelers they've had good experiences with. Check bridal magazines and local advertisements for even more ideas.

5.Have the rings personalized. Engrave the date of your wedding, the date of your first meeting, or some other significant sentiment on the bands.

6.Find out her size, if you don't already know. You can do this by asking one of her friends or taking one of her existing rings to a jeweler to have it measured.

7.Buy it. Some traditions hold that wedding bands should cost about two months' wages, but this is flexible and simply a tradition. Ask the vender about financing if necessary, or putting the ring on layaway by putting down an initial deposit and making monthly payments.

The ring should fit comfortably on the finger, according to e-Weddingbands. If the finger bulges from the sides of a ring when the hand is relaxed, the ring is too small. The ring also should slide on easily. There should be some resistance removing the ring and it may be difficult to slide the ring over the knuckle, but this does not necessarily affect the ring's fit, especially for men, who typically have larger knuckles.

The wider a ring is, the tighter it will fit, according to e-Weddingbands. Many men's rings are available in a comfort-fit style, where the sides are slightly domed. Domed rings slide more easily over large knuckles, according to the website.Finger size varies throughout the day, according to e-Weddingbands. Temperature and activity also affect finger size. Cold fingers are smaller than warm fingers, and fingers are usually larger in the morning than at night, according to the website. The best time to measure a finger for ring size is at the end of the day.

Learning your ring size is a vital step in ensuring that you are happy with your new ring.A band that is too tight will cause the flesh around the ring to bulge, while a ring that is too loose will spin and slide. Determining the appropriate ring size is necessary whether you are purchasing a cocktail ring for yourself or an engagement ring for your girlfriend. This is especially important if you prefer to order a ring rather than try it on in a shop.

1.Measure your finger at the end of the day when your hands are warm. Hands tend to fluctuate slightly in size as the day goes on. Therefore, it is important to find your ring size at this point in the day; doing otherwise may lead to discomfort.

Wrap the tape measure around the base of the finger where you intend to wear the ring. Pull the tape measure taut, ensuring that you can still remove it comfortably. The tape measure should not cut off your circulation or fall easily from your finger. Tape the measuring tape in place around the circumference of your finger and shake your hand to ensure that it doesn't come off.

Jewelers use one of two methods to determine ring size, according to the Walker Metalsmiths website. In both cases the ring is slid down a marked, tapered sizing stick. The stick,sometimes called a sizing mandrel, corresponds to ring size. The mark corresponding to the point where the ring can't slide down the mandrel any farther is the ring size. In the true diameter method, this mark is where the wider side of the taper meets the edge of the ring.

In the center line method, the line in the center of the ring is considered the ring size.The true diameter method works better for wider men's rings, according to the website.

Although there is no difference between men's and women's ring sizes, men's rings are typically larger, as men generally have larger fingers, according to e-Weddingbands. Men's rings also come in different styles than traditional women's rings. Since a ring's style can affect its fit and feel, it's important to consider both style and size when choosing a ring, according to the website.Basic ring size in the United States ranges from size 3 (44.1 mm in diameter) to size 16 (77.4 mm in diameter), according to Just Men's Rings. The measurement is taken around theoutside of the thickest part of the finger (other than the knuckle). The measurement around the base of a man's finger is the same as the measurement of the inside of a ring that fits that finger.

An accurately sized ring makes all the difference in whether a man will wear it. The correct size depends not only on the size of the man's finger but also on the style of ring. The best way to get the right size is by measuring a ring that already fits correctly; however, if this is not possible, you can use other methods. When in doubt, it is better to purchase a ring that is slightly too big rather than one that is too small. In most cases, it is easier to make a ring smaller than larger.

1.Wrap a piece of string or a thin strip of paper around the base of the man's finger.

2.Mark the string with a pen at the point where the string overlaps and makes a complete circle. Remove the string and take the measurement a second time to assure accuracy.

3.Measure the string against the millimeter side of a ruler. Compare this measurement against a chart like the one provided by the website Just Mens Rings or contact a jeweler.Provide a jeweler with the millimeter measurement and she can tell you the ring size that the measurement converts to.

Jewelry cleaning can be somewhat of an added expense if your jewelry requires frequent cleaning from normal daily wear. While taking your jewelry to a jeweler for cleaning may seem simplistic and understated, this can add up quickly and provide apprehension when opting to let someone else clean your valuable jewelry pieces. Nonetheless, instead of paying for expensive cleaning, you can opt to clean your jewelry pieces at home to save time, money and skepticism.

Gold and Gemstone Jewelry
If you have pieces crafted of gold or gemstones including diamonds, the best option to prevent scratching while concurrently cleaning the jewelry is to use isopropyl alcohol in 70-percent strength and water. Take one part alcohol and one part water and allow the pieces to soak for two to three hours. After soaking the jewelry, take a small and very soft toothbrush and use circular motions to clean away remaining dirt or particles. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry. After each piece has dried, you can then opt to polish the jewelry with a lint-free cloth and store for the next use.

Pearl Jewelry
The best option when cleaning pearls is to only use a damp lint-free cloth to gently lift away any dirt or residue that the pearls may have accumulated. Next, take a small drop of mineral oil or olive oil to restore the pearlescent shine. Finally, take a lint-free cloth and wipe away any remaining oil residue and store for the next use.

Cleaning fake jewelry is tricky because the exact make of the piece is typically unknown. While it is easy to distinguish that the piece is not gold, it is more difficult to determine if it is gold plated, iron pyrite (fool's gold) or some other metal. The same goes for faux gemstones. This can become a problem because what may be okay for one type of stone or metal can damage another. For that reason, do not attempt the techniques listed here on any antique pieces. Instead, check with a jewelry dealer about cleaning it. The two methods listed here are ones that are believed to be safe for most types of fake jewelry. However, you should test the method on a small portion of the jewelry before using it on the entire piece.

1.Mix 1/2 tablespoon dish washing detergent or Woolite with a glass of warm water. Do not use hot water.

2.Dip the toothbrush into the soap water.

3.Gently brush the jewelry with the toothbrush to loosen the dirt.

4.Rinse the jewelry well with water.

5.Use a hair dryer to dry the piece. You can use a towel, but a dryer will ensure that all the water is removed. Make sure you put it on a low setting.

6.Check any stones with a tweezers to see if they have become loose. Cleaning can sometimes dissolve the glue or loosen the prongs holding the stones.

7.Place the jewelry in a small bowl with vinegar.

8.Swish the jewelry around the bowl for a few seconds.

9.Remove the jewelry from the vinegar. Do not allow it to soak.

10.Put some baking soda on the toothbrush.

11.Gently rub the baking soda onto the jewelry to remove dirt.

12.Rinse the jewelry in water.

13.Check any stones with a tweezers to see if they have become loose and dry them thoroughly with a towel or hair dryer.
