It’s not uncommon for an engagement ring to snag on something. This not necessarily an indication that something is wrong or that you’re going to lose your stone. The very first thing to do is take it to your favorite jeweler and have it professionally inspected. It could be something as simple as a small bur or a slightly raised prong tip that’s easily and quickly repaired.

In the winter months, when you’re wearing a lot of sweaters, you might see this happening more often. Remember, any time you have metal prongs or beads the potential for snags will always be there. It’s a good idea to put your engagement ring, and any other jewelry, on last to try and avoid snagging.

Another comment I hear very often is that engagement rings are causing runs in nylons or hosiery. Again, it’s a good idea to put your rings on after you put on your nylons. But if you don’t want to take your engagement ring off, try rolling the stones over to the palm side of your hand when you put your nylons or hosiery on. I think you’ll find this helps prevent snagging and runs.
