I was going to suggest the hinge also, it's what all mine have from the Ehler Danos causing joint dislocations.

I had this happen after I quilted two quilts one after the other. Wedding ring knuckle swelled and couldn't get the ring off. I finally thought of shortening and twisted instead of pulling. It came right off. I bought one two sizes too big and that one is okay.

There is an adaptor thing they can put in the back of a ring to make it fit. It has hinges on each side of the shank so it opens up like 2 little doors. You put it on your finger and close them around it and it snaps in the back. I helped a jeweler friend out for the Christmas season once and learn some things from him.

A tattoo will never take the place of a ring that you love........visit a good jeweler...sure he will have a solution for you!

They do have something that opens and shuts for rings. It is quite amazing, no-one can tell that the ring opens. I have no idea what it costs. I could send you a picture if you PM me.

My fingers swell all of the time so I had to quit wearing my rings. Instead I would suggest a really nice watch. He will love you till the end of time...

Try spraying your ring and finger with Windex. I don't know how it works but our jeweler uses it when someone tries on a ring and can't get it back off their finger. Works like a charm! My DH's wedding ring has "shrunk" with time and now he uses it when he absolutely has to take it off (like when he had surgery recently). It also works putting on a ring that's tight and it doesn't make a mess inside your ring like soap or lotion.

My jeweler put in 'speed bumps'. I can get the ring over my knuckle and the two little gold bumps keep it from rolling round and round once in place. Work real well.
