Ring size
Finger size fluctuates depending on the temperature (larger when warm, thinner when cold) or time of day! Activity that gets your blood pumping can also plump up your fingers; sometimes a ring will feel loose in the morning but fit just right after you have rushed around on errands. If you have large knuckles, make sure to account for that so the ring can slip past. Rings slip on easiest when your fingers are dry.
Need to figure out your ring size? Here's a handy international chart:. Remember that in general, 5 is small, 7 is medium and 9 is large. To determine the diameter of your finger, measure the inside of a ring that fits you, making sure you measure straight across the dead-center (the ring must be perfectly circular inside). To determine the circumference of your finger, wrap some paper SNUGLY around it and then measure the paper.
Be careful not to measure your fingers when they are cold, as that is when they are at their thinnest.
Please note: the chart is linked for your reference only, and I cannot be responsible if you arrive at an incorrect measurement. I strongly recommend getting your finger sized by a jeweler.Remember that with a thin band, it's easier to wear a size smaller; a chunkier ring that covers more of your finger might not fit the same way. Make sure you get a size range for your finger; then, when ordering a chunky ring, order at the larger end of your range. |
