MemberI have a 4-prong 1/2 ct solitaire on a knife-edge band and was wondering how all of you lovely ladies handle gloves over your e-ring? It is getting chilly in the mornings and I want to be able to wear my gorgeous hand-knit gloves and mittens but am worried about snagging..
MemberUnless they’re super tight, you should be fine. Some of my gloves I had to turn my ring to the side to get them on, but I never had to take them off and never got it caught on anything. It does get little fuzzies stuck in the prongs (I have a 6-prong round solitaire) sometimes but they come out easy enough.
Hostess@peppybride: I had to in fact get mittens because gloves aren’t going to happen.I got a great cashmere pair at Nordstroms that have the fingers that fold back, love them!
My Darling Husband proposed in the snow in Yosemite National Park and while I was giddy beyond belief I soon had to address the fact that my hand was freezing and there was no way in hell my ring would fit back into my glove.
MemberMemberMost of my gloves are the “magic” gloves, though my mom knit me some mittens for my birthday a few years ago that I love. It’s startign to get cold and I am paranoid about snagging prongs on my ering. Thanks ladies.
Hostess@peppybride: Snagging hasn’t been an issue so far with the cashmere gloves. I think the larger the “loop” used for the mittens makes it easier to catch on the prongs. Try finding a pair with tighter weave….or whatever it is called.

MemberI always turn my ring to the inside, because it always gets caught. My favorite gloves are leather with a cashmere lining, and my ring was poking permanent divots into the leather. Also, it’s uncomfortable when your ring is being pushed down into your finger by your glove!
MemberI spin my ring towards my palm and just be really, really careful about not smacking my hand around 🙂 I also wear mitts 75% of the time, because it’s warmer when your fingers are all together anyway 🙂
MemberAwesome, great ideas and I hadn’t considered spinning my ring so the setting was in my hand!
