    I have a question here about the taking off of rings. I never take
    off my wedding and engagement ring. I have thrown clay, raised
    children, swam and gardened with them on. Perhaps one solution for
    people with the swollen knuckles is to not take the rings off. I
    understand that dinner rings, opals etc. should not be worn daily
    but for women whose problem is with the wedding/engagment set, once
    on, one option is to leave them on. I am not a jewelry jeweler, more
    of a metalsmith/teacher and am not in much contact with this group.
    For slightly bigger knuckles, I have noticed that a more square ring
    band shape can be kinda screwed onto the finger more easily  than
    the perfectly round one.
