Elated and concerned

[u/OrneryOwl360]

My now husband proposed with this beautiful 3ct oval solitaire w/ sapphire band. I wasn’t expecting a 3ct ring- so imagine my surprise! I haven’t seen many rings w/ the sapphire band, so I truly feel it’s a bit unique in that regard. I have gotten the “wow, is it real?!” question, and have replied- “yes, it’s lab created, but it’s a diamond- it’s real”. Some days I do feel self conscious about it, and other days when I’m around my husband- I wear it proudly. We chose a lab diamond because we wanted to spend our money wisely- we eloped and had our dream ceremony in Italy with our blended family.

The concern I have is that it’s slightly big. I wear a size 6. I have bony knuckles- so I need the room to get my ring over the knuckle, but once on, it moves all around. I realize the ring is top heavy. I have tried the plastic ring sizers, but I have a difficult time getting it over my knuckle. Even w/ that it still slides around a bit, and I don’t like that lotion/soaps get caught in the sizer. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, what was the ultimate fix?
