How to measure your ring size?
Often in our lives, we settle for something that is “close enough” like matching curtains for your furniture or selecting cupboard that goes with the wall paint. Some people use this principle while selecting the ring too. They try on a ring and as long as it doesn’t slip right off, they buy it.
However, the jewellery manufacturer in India express the problem that our fingers don’t remain at a constant size all the time. Temperature, weight gain or loss, etc., can make a huge difference in how a ring fits. And, a ring must fit the finger comfortably; loose enough to slide through the knuckle and secure enough to prevent falling. A perfectly sized ring can prevent all the problems at a later time.
Finding the correct size ring is not like a hero’s quest; there are many methods with which you can measure your ring size. So here is what all you can do to measure your ring size before placing an order!
Measuring with a Perfect Ring
If you already have a ring that fits perfectly, use a ruler to measure the inner diameter of the ring. Once you have measured it from edge to edge, use a conversion chart to find the size.
Getting Professional Help
If you don’t own any ring, you can go to a wholesale designer jewelry distributors who would find the best fit for you using their measurement ‘brass blanks.’
Printed Stripe of Paper
A lot of websites offer a downloadable ring sizer scale. All you need to do is, print that scale on a piece of paper, cut the strip, and wrap the paper around your finger.
Using Ring Sizer Belt
Well, this is by far the most accurate and simple method. Ring sizer belts are made from a material that is more substantial and are available for a few bucks. The ring sizers come with a buckle, which you can adjust to have the correct size of your finger.
Some Additional Tips
- Ensure accuracy with multiple tries.
- Do not use string or floss as suggested and advocated by many because it stretches when tied up on a finger resulting in giving an inaccurate size.
- While using a paper strip, make sure that the paper is not thin and crumbled. Also, use multiple paper sheets to know a perfect size.
- If your knuckles are on the larger side, consider buying a ring that is half a size bigger than your actual size.
- Go for the larger size, if two sizes of different measurement seem to fit your finger.
So, that’s all about measuring the ring size. However, if somehow, you still bought a ring that doesn’t fit, you can consider resizing it. Give your ring to a jeweller, and they will make it perfect for you!
