I have a six-prong solitaire and it sometimes snags (like when I'm putting on a sweater, I'll notice fuzz on the prongs after). Is this normal? Any way to prevent it? Thanks ladies!
Hi, I'm a new bee and eager to jump in! Yes, my ring sometimes snags things. If I'm putting on a sweater, I turn it to the inside of my hand so the prongs don't catch.
Yes, mine snags things, too. I can't tell you how many strands of hair I've lost in the past three months because they keep getting pulled by the ring. Sometimes I'll do the same as @littlebluebox and turn the stone to the inside of my hand, but I just don't think about it every time.
My ring snags on sweaters or blankets occasionally. I just turn it around like LittleBlueBox suggested if I want to prevent it from happening.
Mine snags things all the time! Drives me nuts because I am constantly picking hair and sweater fuzz out of it! Strangely, I have never once thought to turn it around! When I have to put on nylons for work, I almost always take it off because it snags the nylons and I have to throw them out and get a new pair. Booo!
I still LOVE my ring though and wouldn't change it for anything!
My four-prong snags things all the time! I am just starting to adjust my habits to prevent snagging (only running my right hand through my hair, not putting my ring on until after I'm dressed, etc.).
Mine snags too, but not too bad. Mostly from blankets or sweaters. I don't think there's an easy solution except taking it off when putting on something you don't want it to snag on.
I can't believe I never thought to just turn it around! Thanks for the tip!
Mine also snags! I mentioned it when I went to get my ring cleaned and was told that it is because the prongs are not tight enough (it was a weekend and the person that does this was not working at the time) so perhaps all of us should mention this to our jeweler and see if it is indeed due to not being tight enough! I too have lost more strands of hair that I can count! It does only seem to be in one prong (i have 4).... who knows!
It happens pretty often, but I'm not sure if there's even anything that can be done about it besides changing to a bezel setting instead! Just turning it around ought to help, or tightening the prongs like amyloufustino suggested.
I have a 4-prong setting and I've never noticed that it catches on things. Maybe my prongs are tightened like @amyloufustino mentioned? I have no idea, but I hope they stay that way! :)
Mine doesn't snag too much, but my 9 months old kitten likes to chew on it. grrrr. I have to sleep with it turned inside my hand so he can't get it.
I have a 6-prong and it does get tiny fibers caught in it pretty often. I feel like I'm constantly picking stuff out of the prongs. I was worried that the prongs were loose, but apparently they're fine -- it did exactly the same thing when it was brand-new, and I get it looked at every few months, so I think that's just the way it is. It is annoying, though...
Mine never really snags anything, even times I'd expect it to it hasn't.
I wonder if it depends on the roundness of the prongs...mine are pretty sharp/delicate so they snag a lot...
i have a four prong solitaire and while it does snag every now and then, i'll take the occassional snagging over life before my pet rock ANY DAY ;-)
Mine is four prong, but doesn't really snag, as soon as it does begin to snag a lot I would want to take it in for maintenance though to make sure the diamond doesn't become lose. That is my biggest paranoia!
My 4 prong setting does NOT snag on anything. When I first became engaged, my manicurist ran a cotton ball over the ring from all angles, and it did not snag any of the fibers. That's also when I learned that if it snags, it was not set/finished properly, or the setting is getting loose and should probably be taken in for maintenance.
I have never had a problem. Thats a good tip though...if mine starts to snag it probably needs looked at.
I have a 6 pronger, but it never snags on stuff. My sister has a princess cut with 4 prongs and hers snags on EVERYTHING! She either takes it off or turns it around.
i am the towel reaper! when we first got engaged we blamed the cat for ruining a towel and then i realized one day it was me in the middle of the night in the bathroom!!! oops sorry kitty.
I always snag mine on my t-shirts and rip out threads. I get upset for a moment then I look at my ring and realise I can't stay mad at something that lovely
When mine started snagging, I brought it to the jeweler and they said that the prongs needed tightening. Now no snags!
Mine is a low profile 4 prong basket setting and it doesn't snag. I get it checked every 6 months for prong strength (and suggest everyone should get their prongs checked from time to time) If they are snagging a lot they may be coming loose, so I would talk to your jeweler.
I have a 6 prong. The only thing mine snags is my hair, and it hurts like the devil! lol
I have a 4 prong round and don't really snag on things. The occasional hair or fuzzy but it's totally on me. How about banging it around though?! I have a raised setting and I swear I hit it on pretty much everything. The first time FI heard it, he just looked at me and was like, whatever, it's insured. LOL
6-prong.
All the time.
My FI asked me, "Why do you always have fuzzy things on it?" haha.
I have a 6 prong one and it gets fuzzy things stuck in it all the time. It doesn't really snag so much as just seem to pick up random fibers.
We're picking out my wedding band tonight so I'll have to mention it to them and see if its an issue.
mine snags things all the time, including my hair. ow.
Sweaters, blankets, gloves, fuzzy socks, food when cooking... yes!
Yes it snags on everything! I have a 4 prong princess cut and it isn't because it is loose, the prongs on my ring just stick up above the diamond.
I agree with a few of the ladies above. If it snags it means your prongs need to be tightened.
I have a 6 prong and it snags frequently- especially when I take my cashmere lined gloves off. My prongs were designed for my stone specifically so I dont think its a case of them being loose. I have had it checked and cleaned periodically while we picked out our wedding bands and the designer said everything looks great. Also, I have a lot of small stones on my band that catch on things as well. I always take off my ring when putting on my pantyhose!!!
Mine only snags on our bathroom towels, it doesn't bother anything else. Now our towels have longs strings pulled out of them!
Mine gets snagged on everything! I am paranoid about the prongs coming loose and ripping my precious diamond out!
Mine snag pretty frequently, but i think it's just the design. I'm having it checked tomorrow anyway, just to be sure.
Mine snags on sweaters all the time. It's not b/c the prongs are loose. Nothing ever gets caught under the prongs, and it doesn't snag on my hair at all -- there's no space for that b/c the prongs are nice and snug -- but it does snag on the knit of the sweater. I'm worried that my ring is going to wind up putting holes in my nice cashmere sweaters. I should flip my ring around when I'm getting dressed / undressed, but I never remember to!
