    Hi, John, My husband's wedding ring has been crushed into an oval
    too. Both our rings are the same, Platinum with an 18K yellow gold
    braid inside (plus a twisted wire of rose gold). We have not worn
    our original rings, because his got similarly "squished" into an oval
    - although he was able to get it off,  and mine is a little too
    small. They are both the "comfort fit" shaped band, which didn't work
    for me and my bad knuckle. I've been told that the only way mine could
    be sized is to have some degree of metal filed away on the inside of
    the band, which appears as all platinum on the inside. So between his
    needing to be UN-squished, and mine needing to be increased a little,
    I wondered if this was even possible given all the metals. We don't
    need any cutting, but it still sounds like it's probably more
    complicated than I thought. 

Thanks very much for sharing this story!
Mary Beth
