My knuckles have gotten larger in my old age. My wedding band won’t come off over the knuckle, so yes I wear it every day all day...
This thread has jinxed me. I had no intention of taking off my engagement ring anytime soon (in addition to wearing late DH's band on my other hand), but out of nowhere my ring finger knuckle has gotten a big bump on one side, and I fear if I put the ring back on it's going to have to be cut off when I do decide it's time to stop wearing it. And it seems silly to get it resized just to get it over that knuckle.My knuckles have gotten larger in my old age.

A small PSA:
Before buying one stop by the nearby rescue squad or firehouse and ask if they now have tools to cut those titanium rings off. When those came out I heard of several incidents where people were in some type of accident resulting in a lot of swelling in the ring finger. Every ambulance carries a device called a "ring cutter" to get the ring off when that happens. They work great on gold rings. Last I heard (which was admittedly quite a while ago) they didn't work at all on titanium and at least a couple people lost a finger because the blood supply was cut off.
DW's "went missing" years ago and was not replaced. I still wear mine ( DW insists ).
