Don’t Pull a “Paris Hilton”?

So, what exactly does that mean? Well, in the jewellery world, it refers to last months’ incident (March 2018) at the RC Cola Plant Night Club, a huge dance venue, that Paris and her fiancé frequent.

Well, don’t you know, whilst dancing into the wee hours of the morning, Hilton’s ring flew off her finger which sent all staff and attendees into a panic and of course, her security team scoured the place high and low for the rather large item. How large? Well, twenty carats large and pear-shaped! What’s it worth? $2 million. How can such an incredible piece of jewellery “fly” off her finger? Hence, “Don’t pull a Paris Hilton” means “Be careful: don’t let your engagement ring fly off your finger!”

Now this begs the question, why? How in the world did this happen and the only answer leads back to the way in which the ring was sized. Sizing can be a tricky business sometimes. It really is an art. First of all, a person’s finger can fluctuate in size, on a daily basis, due to a number of factors: heat, cold, medication, food eaten, weight gain or loss, illness, etc. Secondly, the width of the ring plays an important factor as well as the slight variations in different types of ring sizers. Put all these factors together and it’s easy to see why it can be difficult to size a ring properly.

If your ring is not fitting properly, or you need it resized due to any one of the factors above, just bring it into the store to be sized by an expert. We take great care in sizing your ring and we ask questions to ensure that your ring will continue to fit comfortably and safely once you leave our store, so that you can dance the night away! If you have any concerns about the way your ring fits, don’t hesitate to ask!

Now… just so you know the end of the story…Paris’ ring was found …in a bucket of ice.
