Subject: problem with ring

Hello,
I wanted to send an email to let you know about a problem that has occurred with my fiance's previous wedding band that has a superfit mechanism. 
Eric bought his superfit ring in 1999 in Austin , Tx .  when he and his first wife married in 1999.  His ring finger has an enlarged knuckle due to a broken finger from a soccer accident many years ago.
He started having problems with the ring falling off due to the clasp mechanism not staying shut.  This happened all the time, and caused a huge amount of stress as he was always having to be very careful with it as not to lose it.  Many times he said he had to backtrack his steps to look for it as he realized it was not on his finger.  Eric is very meticulous with his possessions, and takes excellent care with them.  He is 39 now and probably the only person I know that still has his first CD he purchased  when he was 13, and there is not a scratch on it.   And I am completely serious.  He stopped wearing his ring in 2003 when he and his wife divorced.
When we got engaged last year, it never occurred to me about his knuckle being a problem for a wedding band. I had forgotten about his knuckle.  He brought this to my attention about 3 months ago that he had to have a special ring that opened to allow for it.  This was when he told me about the problems he had with his previous wedding ring.   I reassured him that we would figure it out, and that the ring I put on his finger on our wedding day he WOULD not have those issues.
I began doing research on all the options available for rings for people with enlarged knuckles.  I have learned a lot in my quest for information and although a man's wedding band can be way less expensive than a woman's engagement ring, the sentimental value can never be replaced if lost.  
I felt it would not be fair to complain about this problem without making the company aware that manufactures the mechanism. 
Sincerely,
Michelle Brewer

Typical hubris, it's got more value than the marketplace understands.'

 
   
Dear Michelle,
Thank you for contacting us about your fiancé’s ring.  I can assure you that, when maintained properly, Superfit rings can last indefinitely.
At the time of purchase, your fiancé would have received a warranty brochure from the jeweler.  This also contains instructions on care and maintenance.  The issues you describe can be avoided by annual inspection and cleaning of the ring which is a service retail jewelers are happy to provide.

 
Please let us know if you need a professional retail jeweler in your area to assist you with your purchase.
Best wishes on your upcoming marriage,
Lisa Huczko
