Like clothes, apparel, and shoes, rings also come in sizes. Unfortunately, there isn’t just one standard size, and sizes vary between countries. These sizes apply to any type of ring, whether it’s set with diamonds, Swarovski crystals, or moissanite. Note that unlike gold rings, platinum rings cannot be resized after purchase.
Tips for Measuring Ring Size
When it comes to engagement ring size, you need to consider two things: how the ring fits on your finger and how easy it is to take off and put on. You don’t want it to be too tight to remove, but you also don’t want it to be too loose and risk it falling off (which is why most people lose engagement or wedding rings). Choosing the right ring size is crucial for both safety and usability. It’s best to be prepared and avoid having to return or purchase a new size if you get it wrong. Here are some helpful tips to help you get it right.
Choose a Size That’s Easy to Put On and Take Off
A common mistake first-time ring buyers make is getting a ring that’s too tight. They put it on and it feels snug, even perfect in some cases. But a few days later, they may find it difficult to take the ring off their finger. This is because the ring is too tight. Your finger size may change; for example, it may expand in hot weather. Therefore, you should choose a size that’s both comfortable to wear and easy to pass over the knuckle. Finding the perfect balance between snug (won’t fall off) and loose (allows for changes) is key.
Try Different Ring Sizes That Suit You
One effective way to determine which ring size suits you best is to try on different sizes until you find the right fit. You can try on different rings you already have at home or visit a local jewelry store to try on different ring sizes. There, professionals can also measure your ring size for you.
