How to Find the Perfect Ring Size:
Why Ring Size Matters:
If a ring is too tight, it's going to be swollen and painful; if it's too loose, it's going to come off your finger easily. The perfect ring is that which is not so loose as to fall off the finger yet loose enough to go over the knuckle with minimal problems. It balances out for comfort and security.How to Determine Ring Size:
1. Using a string or paper strip:
Step 1: Wrap a string or a paper strip around the base of the finger.Step 2: Mark where the ends meet.
Step 3: Measure the length of the string or paper using a ruler to get the circumference.
Step 4: Refer to a ring-size chart to convert the so noted circumference measurement into a ring size.
This method is pretty easy, and all the things that are required you might have at home. The string or the paper should not be wound too tightly or loosely around the finger to get a correct measurement.
2. Measure Using a Ring You Already Own:
Step 1: Use another ring that is of the proper fit for the finger.
Step 2: Take the inner diameter of this ring.
Step 3: With the help of a chart on ring sizes, find the size corresponding to your measurement.
This will work if you have a ring that fits well. The measurement of the inner diameter should be very accurate because even a tiny difference will make all the difference in size.
3. Using a Ring Sizer:
Step 1: You can buy something called a ring sizer a set of rings made in different sizes.
Step 2: Slip these on your finger to determine the most comfortable fitting size.
The ring sizer will give the most accurate measure and may be reused. It is a small price to pay for something which will save you much time and guarantee a perfect fit.
Tips for Accurate Measurement:
Measure at the end of the day: The fingers tend to swell during the course of the day, so it is best to measure them towards the end of the day when they are largest.
Consider the knuckle: Make sure the ring is able to fit easily over the knuckle. If you have large knuckles then measure both the knuckle and the base of the finger and use the average of the two.
Measure multiple times: Measure your finger a few different times during the day. This will help ensure that we get an exact measurement since fingers can flucuate in and out due to temperature, diet, and other factors.
Resizing Your Ring
In case you find out that this ring does not fit quite right, please do not worry; many rings can be resized. At Design by GoldRush, we will resize your ring so that it fits comfortably.
Resizing Rings:
Almost all rings, except those made from these metals, can be resized. The plain bands are the easiest to enlarge or reduce in size, while those with an intricate design or setting cannot be.
Limitations on Resizing: The extent of ring resizing can allow as many as up to two sizes to increase or reduce the ring. Further resizing beyond that limitation could weaken its structure.
Professional Resizing: Always have your ring resized by a professional jeweler. Doing it yourself could result in damage to the ring, and almost certainly will void any given warranties.
Surprise Engagements: Finding the Right Size Secretly
Planning a surprise engagement? The following is how to determine your ring size if your partner doesn't know anything:
