Getting a ring to follow the finger?

I created a couple of simple rings in hexagon. I can get them to fit on my Genesis 8 Male and Female character's hands. But whenever the fingers move, the ring isn't following it correctly. I've tried parenting to Left Ring 1 and Left Ring 2 both. But in either case, the ring moves separately from the finger. I'm sure I'm probably missing something simple, but everything I've read about Smart Props says this is the correct way to handle it. Any suggestions?

    As usual, I figured it out just after I finally posted the question. I hadn't done the full save as a figure/prop with smart parenting and all. Once I did that and deleted the imported OBJ file, I could reload it from the saved Prop file and it worked correctly.

    You have the same disease I do. I swear 75% of the time I figure out the solution within a minute and a half of composing a post about it.

    Probably something to do with the composing process. You have to systematize your thoughts a bit, and somewhere along the way you get a mental lead on the problem, even if it's only a subconscious one.
