    Hi, Andrea! Thank you for replying! I am brand new to this web site,
    and to yours - No, They simply told me that Rio Grande no longer
    carries them. Thanks to one of the folks here at Orchid, I did find
    some through Walter Drake - one of those mail order houses that sell
    all kinds of little doo dads for the home - but they are not like the
    ones I was looking for. They are basically a strip of plastic you cut
    to size. I'm sure that if I can't find the ones I was looking for
    that these will be the best solution so far, but I'd still like to
    see if I can find the kind I used to wear, which looked a little more
    sturdy. 

    I've had some nice and helpful replies here -  regarding cutting
    rings and inserting a clasp/spring - but at least 2 of the rings I
    need to address are platinum wedding bands with diamonds set the
    whole way around. On my wedding ring, I'm too sentimental to cut it
    or modify it - there was a cute story about the ring being too big,
    then my husband and I could not get vacation time, so we eloped,
    then the ring came with us, and it almost fell offf during the
    ceremony. My engagement ring hold it on, but it's really too large.
    I also have some problems with my fingers changing size - not just
    knuckle swelling, but more hormone related, so even the "surgical
    methods" with a hinge wouldn't really work for me. 

Thanks again for replying!
Sincerely,
-Mary Beth
