Hi Karena,
Janice had such small hands, I could just about get her rings on the nail of my little finger.
I think the reason that Janice, did not want me to do it, was , both her rings are antique, and when she started to wear the two together, the engagement ring kept turning round, so the jeweller, that sold them to us, suggested welding the two together, which he did, they were excellent.
Then about four years ago , Janice had to go into hospital, while she was in there, her fingers became very swollen, so the sister on the ward, decided, that they would have to cut her rings off.
Well, two hours later, using a ring cutting machine and two nurses, the Ward sister and me, taking it in turns,eventually managed to cut though it, but we ended up having to cut it, into three pieces, to get it off.
While Janice was in hospital, I took a rough size of her finger, as it was still quite swollen, I took the pieces of the ring, to the jeweller, we bought them from and within a couple of days, he had put it all back together. The only problem was, when Janice came out of hospital, we found that the ring was much to big, I took it to the jeweller had it made smaller, still to big, had it made smaller again.
So, I can really understand now, as those rings had so much history, Janice would want them to now, stay in one piece, so it does really make sense to me and I am so pleased that I asked her, before going ahead with it.
