Ring Sizing
When shopping for a ring, knowing your ring size is pretty important. Although it may seem daunting, it’s not as hard as it seems. Listed below are some helpful hints to remember when it comes to determining your ring size.
The best and most reliable method is to go to a jewelry store and have your finger sized. This may seem like an inconvenience, but it will give you the most accurate information.
When it comes to finding your ring size, timing is everything. Measure in the morning when your body is cool - that way swelling won't affect the measurement.
This might seem obvious, but make sure to measure the finger you plan to wear your ring on. Dominant-side fingers are usually a bit larger than fingers on your opposite hand.
A tip to remember: a wider band means a tighter fit. Consider a bit of wiggle room if you're going bold.
Large knuckles can make sizing tricky. Find a size that allows you to slip the ring over your knuckles but isn't loose enough to fall off.
Some rings can't be resized. Special metals like tungsten, titanium, cobalt, stainless steel and platinum fall into this category. Rings that include inlay stones and materials fall into this category as well.
