Sterling Silver, Diamonds, Resin

Petro has a tattoo of a koi fish on her wedding finger and wanted a wide ring to cover it, with a koi and her diamonds... on the small scale of a ring it was tricky getting the koi to look like itself rather than a dolphin.. it is the 'whiskers' that identify it, really, from another fish.. 

Unfortunately, as I took my time with the ring... Petro was on diet and managed to lose weight quickly and now the ring is loose! When she thought that I could "just resize the ring", I had to laugh... as I would have to burn out the resin and be careful of the diamonds when applying heat to resize the ring... not a pleasant task! I was thinking maybe to insert an inner sleeve and stretch it on (cold join)? Oh woe.. I cant but help wishing she would just put that weight back on!!
