How to stop your ring from flopping - Just like a princess

I'm often asked "How can I stop my ring from flopping over on my finger"? Well, apparently Kate Middleton had the same problem that you have, as reported by "Today" on line.

So what can you do to stop what I call "the engagement ring flop"? Most engagement rings are top heavy and have a tendency to flop over to the side. ok, here's the technical reason for this... gravity wants to take the heaviest part of the ring, usually the top, and pull it down towards the ground. Bet you thought you'd hear a long winded explanation! The simple answer to fix it is exactly what Kate Middleton's jeweler recommended to her. They put small sizing balls in the bottom of the ring. These small balls, usually made in the same metal as the engagement ring, and permanently placed at about 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock, inside the ring, catch the inside of your finger,can barely be felt, and have a tendency to keep your ring upright on your finger. Problem solved!
