RING SIZE
Whether you are looking for a ring for yourself or to give as a gift, it is important to find a size that will fit you correctly. The perfect size is when the ring feels comfortably on the finger, but it is a little hard to get off.
This allows pleasant wearing without the risk of losing the ring. While you don’t want the ring sliding off your finger, you also don’t want to it applying too much pressure. What you are looking for is a nice, snug fit.
To get a snug fit, the ring should just fit over the largest part of your finger – that is typically your knuckle. And, you should also know that your ring size generally increases with hot outdoor temperatures, with high humidity levels and with a diet high in salt. So, keep these facts in mind as you determine the right ring size.
MEASURING
• Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around your finger.
• Mark the point where the two ends meet.
• Measure the string or paper against a ruler to get the circumference of your finger.
• Look up your ring size using the ring size chart below.
