Now that you are shopping for a wedding ring, or maybe already have your ring, it is important to consider how it should fit. You’ll be wearing this ring every day for the rest of your life, so you want to ensure it is comfortable. It’s best to talk to an expert to get your finger sized and adjusted. The truth is, your ring is never going to fit perfectly all the time because commonly our fingers swell for various reasons. Here are some expert tips on how your engagement ring should fit:
How To Measure Your Ring Size
To ensure a perfect fit, measuring your ring size accurately is essential before purchasing or designing a ring.
- One way to do this is to use a piece of string or paper around the base of your finger where your ring would lie. Mark where the ends overlap with a pen.
- With a ruler or measuring tape to then measure the distance between the end of the string or paper and the mark you made.
- You can use a ring size chart to match the measurements to the closet size. You can also visit a jewelry store to get the correct size for your finger.
Ring Sizing Tips
For a comfortable and secure fit, consider these helpful ring sizing tips to ensure your ring is the perfect size.
Measure At Night
Your fingers tend to swell during the day, so measuring at the end of the day can provide a more accurate measurement.
Warm Up
Cold fingers can shrink by as much as half a size, so be sure to warm up your hands before measuring your ring size for the most accurate result!
Measure Multiple Times
Measure multiple times over a few days to ensure consistency, and account for any changes in finger size throughout the day.
How Tight Should My Engagement Ring Be?
Your engagement ring should fit snugly but comfortably, without causing any pain or discomfort. It should slide on easily over your knuckle and stay in place without spinning too much. A good test is to see if you can fit a small piece of string or paper between the ring and your finger—if it fits comfortably, the ring is likely the right size. Avoid it being too tight, as it may cause swelling or be difficult to remove, especially in warmer weather.
