Fat finger day occurs when the ring you wear all the time suddenly will not FIT the appropriate finger! Frustrating when this happens. Exactly why it happens is somewhat of a mystery. We know that humidity can play a huge part in fattening up your fingers. So you have spent the day at the beach, boating, hiking or perhaps just enjoying the sunshine with family and friends. If the weather is unusually humid, this will tend to fatten us up temporarily. Other factors can be health related. I know there are probably many scientific reasons for this phenomenon. Bottom line. Your ring will not fit today
My (jewelry designer) solution to this dilemma
I created rings that have some ‘give’ to them. Many of the designs can be adjusted from the front of the back to 1/2 size up or down. This gives you the luxury of wearing your favorite designs anytime on your digit of choice! When I first decided to design these types of rings, many of them had a sliding feature to them. This was fun for awhile but like any designer I kept evolving and thinking of newer solutions. I love having the front show off a gemstone and still have the flexibility of altering the size slightly. Here is an example of this type of option.
The druzy quartz gemstone is the focal point for sure. Yet you still have the option of enlarging the ring shank so it fits you on these days. My goal here is to provide you with the finest quality designs based upon my aesthetic. And to allow for your preferences in wearing them. I do have several designs as well that do require an actual size. Sadly these will not fit the Fat Finger day criteria. That being said, some larger gems just need the extra support of the full ring shank. So I have conceded to make about 20% of my designs this way.
