Determine Ring Size With a Ring Size Chart

Use a ring that fits you to determine your ring size. Place your ring over the nearest size circle. The inner edge of the ring should align with the outer edge of the circle. If your ring appears to fit between two sizes, buy the larger size.

Know When to Resize a Ring

It is common for people to get their rings resized. For some, it’s weight gain or weight loss, or it could be the desire to wear the ring on a different finger. Resizing is common and can almost always be done, although there are a few exceptions. Decreasing the band size is a simple process for an experienced jeweler. The jeweler cuts out a small portion of the band and reshapes the ring back to its circular shape. The ring is then welded to ensure that the resizing of the ring is not visible. To increase ring size, the ring needs to be cut and an additional piece of the band soldered in. Extreme adjustments of two or more sizes may result in a noticeable change in the look or structure of the ring. Discuss ring sizing with a jeweler to ensure there will be no visible flaws.

Things to Consider When Measuring Ring Size

A ring is an important investment and it is best to do proper research to determine what size is needed. Several factors should be considered when measuring for ring size.

• Fingers tend to swell during summer months and deflate during the winter. Adjust the measurement accordingly.
• Measure ring size three to four times to ensure no mistakes have been made.
• Fingers swell during pregnancy or when taking steroid-based medications. Make adjustments accordingly.
• Measure ring size at the end of the day and when fingers are warm. Fingers are smaller in the morning and when they are cold.
• Jewelry stores usually only charge once for a resizing. A reputable store should not charge multiple times.

Ring shoppers should take their time when purchasing a ring to ensure they get the most comfortable and accurate fit. Keep in mind that the size of fingers can fluctuate, depending on the weather and the season.
