Syndactyly with fusion of bones and rings Posted: 02-11-08 12:51pm
My boyfriend has what is known as
"complete complex syndactyly" (translates
to complete webbing, from palm to
fingertip, of the fingers. Additionally,
he has fusion of bones at the edge of the
fingernails.) The joined fingers are the
middle finger and the ring finger on both
hands. He is 24 yrs old and has no health
issues due to this condition.
Now to the point of my question. He and I
have been talking about marriage. As
menial as it sounds, the fact that he can
not wear a wedding band on the correct
finger saddens him a bit (he's
sentimental). Does anyone know of any
type of rings that are out there that
could accommodate him? A jeweler told me
of "finger link shanks" but after
investigating them, it looks like they are
simply adjustable rings. Thanks in
advance for any advice or knowledge!

I know there are jewelers out there that
can make just about anything, but you will
have to do some research to find one.
They can do exactly what you want right in
front of you. I looked online at some of
the shank rings, and they are beautiful
rings.... Maybe he can just have one made
that has a gap at the side. It would have
to be custom made, but it would be wearing
it on the right finger.
Oh one other thing I thought of is getting
it tattooed on his finger... some people
do that!
