Finding the perfect ring is an exciting journey, but it's essential to ensure that it fits comfortably on your finger. At Amulette, we understand the importance of a well-fitted ring, which is why all of our rings are meticulously handmade in our London workshop. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of measuring your ring size accurately and provide tips on ordering a special ring size. Let's dive in!
Factors to Consider When Measuring Your Ring Size
Before we delve into the specifics of measuring your ring size, it's crucial to understand the factors that can influence the measurements. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
-
Finger Size Fluctuations: Throughout the day, your fingers may change size slightly due to physical activity and temperature variations. To obtain the most accurate measurement, it's best to measure your ring size when your fingers are at their average size.
-
Temperature: Cold fingers can be up to half a size smaller than their usual size. Avoid measuring your ring size when your hands are cold to ensure a proper fit.
-
Band Width: Rings with wider bands tend to feel tighter than those with fine bands. If you're unsure about your ring size, it's advisable to purchase a size larger than your usual size, especially for rings with wider bands.
-
Comfort: A well-fitted ring should feel snug enough to stay securely on your finger without the risk of falling off. However, it should still be easy to slide over your knuckle when you remove it.
Determining Your Ring Size
To ensure the perfect fit, we highly recommend visiting a local jeweler who can professionally measure your ring size. However, if you prefer to measure your ring size at home, follow these steps:
-
Get a Ring Sizer: Obtain a ring sizer, which is a small tool used to measure ring sizes accurately. You can typically find ring sizers at jewellery stores or order one online.
-
Choose the Right Finger: Select the finger on which you intend to wear the ring. Keep in mind that each finger can have a slightly different size, so it's essential to measure the specific finger you plan to adorn.
-
Measure at the Right Time: Measure your ring size when your fingers are at their average size. Avoid measuring them when they are cold or swollen.
-
Wrap the Sizer: Take the ring sizer and wrap it around the chosen finger. Ensure that it fits comfortably without being too loose or too tight. You can purchased the wrap ring sizers from our website here.
-
Read the Size: Once the sizer is wrapped around your finger, note the size indicated where it overlaps. This measurement represents your ring size.
-
Consider the Fit: Remember that different styles of rings may require varying degrees of comfort. If you prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up slightly.
