Online purchase of a ring is not a simple matter. We can count on the fingers of one hand how many of our friends have never faced this task. In the following article, we will point out a few methods of measurement that will make it easier to choose the right size and once and for all disprove this at first glance complicated activity.
The first question that comes to mind is “What should be the perfect ring?” – Well, the right ring is one that will not slip off the finger and will not put pressure causing an unpleasant feeling. The best ring size should squeeze through the widest knuckle in the finger with minimal resistance. Individual ring sizes differ by only 0.33 mm hence choosing that perfect piece of jewelry will not be that difficult. Especially since a table with exact measurements is given in each store.
Before the methods we will present, we would also like to draw attention to the time of year and day when we will take measurements. Keep in mind that the circumference of the finger varies depending on weather conditions. In hot weather the fingers swell while in cold weather they shrink. Nevertheless, it is necessary to find such a period in each season that the temperature is moderate. As we mentioned earlier, the time of day also makes a difference in measurement – in the evenings the hands are minimally larger than in the morning.
With this knowledge, we can move on to measuring methods. The simplest method of measurement is to use a caveman measure. Precisely wrap it in the widest part of the finger so that it does not press too hard. The measurement taken should be compared with the size chart and find the size that is closest to our calculations. If we unfortunately do not have a tape measure nearby we can make this measurement using a thread and a ruler. Wrap the thread as before with a tailor’s measure at the widest point of the finger, and then measure this thread with a ruler. These two ways are very close to each other. Another way we have to offer is to measure the ring you own. Check if the chosen shape is similar to the ring you are buying, and then carefully determine its diameter. Then compare with the sizes in the table shown on the site and choose the perfect one.
