    Congrats! If that's an engagement ring, then you've now completed the easy part.

    I got it!. It looks amazing, She'll love it.

    I totally blew it on the size, though. I ordered a 7.5 when when she is probably a 5.5 or 6. What the hell.

    Hmm, that's a pretty big size difference. On the positive side, at least you overestimated. Rings can't easily be expanded in size beyond about half, but I think they can be made smaller relatively easily. Go to a LOCAL jewelry store for adjustments, not a chain. Chain stores will rip you off, while your local single-location store is generally so strapped for cash that you'll get a good deal.

    Good luck, TuffStuffMcGruff

    Peasant Phill recently opened a thread in the Frontroom on how to ask "the question", in case you need some ideas.

    Don't worry about the ring being too big; it's usually not too difficult to make it smaller.

    Congrats!

    Getting a ring sized to be smaller is super easy, no worries!
