Rings are the favorite jewelry of most women and men, some of them remain with a person for life. That is why it is very important to decide on the size of the jewelry so that in the future they do not cause discomfort and pain to their owner.
Rules for choosing a ring
Some people have a misconception that choosing the right size for jewelry is very easy. The hands of men and women can change their volume several times a day, both in the direction of increasing and decreasing.
Important! If your hands were in the cold, then the fingers become a little thinner, and in the heat they increase in volume. Also, the fingers become slightly thicker after drinking a significant amount of liquid.
Some general tips How to choose a ring size:
- It’s best to go shopping for jewelry in the afternoon, when your fingers are a little swollen from fatigue, hot weather, or the liquid you drank during the day;
- It is not recommended to try on jewelry after working out in the gym or a party, or after carrying a heavy bag;
- A piece of jewelry you like should not fit too tightly or loosely on your finger: in the first case, wearing the jewelry will cause a lot of inconvenience and even pain, and in the second, sooner or later it will fly off your hand.
Important! The ideal option is that the product fits tightly on the finger, but does not cause inconvenience, and can be easily removed and put on the hand.
How tight should a ring fit on your finger?
There is no single standard for all people. It all depends on the width, shape, thickness and specifics of the chosen model. Narrow rings fit much more accurately on the finger, but wide rings can be a little wider.
Every jewelry store has special devices that help you perfectly measure your finger size and select a ring to match it. But in any case, the main criterion for choosing jewelry is comfort: the ring should not “ride” up or down from the hand to the first phalanx of the finger or tightly cover the finger.
Reference! The size of the jewelry is chosen correctly if the product fits smoothly through the thickest part of the finger, where the joint is located, and does not slip off.
