This ring guard is perfect for the purpose it serves! I recently got engaged, and found that my ring slides slightly, especially on cool days, and wanted a fix for it that didn't involve me getting it re-sized. If I went down a size I'd never get it over my knuckle, and while my fingers are itty bitty, I still swell when I get hot. Which is where the need for a guard came in, and this fit the bill perfectly! On the day I received it, I put on the smallest guard, and it was way too tight!!! I couldn't get the ring off my finger without having to remove the guard first. Then I noticed reviewers stating to cut the guard in half, and that did the trick! I don't have a sliding ring while working, and it stays put perfectly! The cut in half guard looks better too since my finger is so small (size 4). If you are looking for a different alternative rather than re-sizing, this is the way to go!
