Many married men and women wear their wedding bands even when they are at home relaxing. Because your engagement and wedding rings will most likely be present in most of your waking moments, getting the right fit is critical. We've included the average ring size for men and women, as well as some pointers to keep in mind if you need to measure your ring size at home.
Most men's ring sizes range from eight to fifteen, with the ring size always being about a half size larger on the dominant hand that he writes with. She considers size 10 to be the average "stock" size for men. Rings for men are typically thicker. As a result, they may require a larger size to easily slip the ring on and off each day.
The best thing a man can do before getting his ring sized is to decide what type of ring he wants. Men's rings are available in a wider range of metals and styles than women's rings. Titanium, cobalt, and tungsten are examples. Each metal may fit or appear differently than the others, and this may influence ring size.
The average ring size for a woman is a size six, according to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Most women's weight fluctuates on average, depending on her lifestyle, so we recommend adding a quarter size to your ring just in case your weight does fluctuate throughout the year. Fingers can swell in different seasons, such as summer, so keep this in mind when sizing your finger. It's best to wait if your fingers are swollen so you can get an accurate result. Also, bring your favorite ring to the jeweler so they can determine the level of comfort and fit you require in a band.
The most accurate method of sizing is to use a physical ring sizer made of metal or strong plastic. If you must use a chart at home, choose one that shows whole-size, half-size, and quarter-size options so you know your exact measurements.
When wrapping your finger to determine the size, use a printable ring sizer, a cloth measuring tape, or a string rather than a stiff tape measure or actual tape. Using multiple charts aids in determining a consistent size. To ensure consistent sizing, obtain at least two different ring size charts from two different sources before recording and sharing it with your jeweler.
Before you eat or drink anything, the best time to size your finger for a ring is in the morning. Also, if your weight fluctuates a lot, size your ring when you're at your most stable weight. If your weight fluctuates more than it increases, size your finger first thing in the morning before you eat or when you are at your most consistent weight.
Because size can vary depending on what you eat or the weather, We recommend sizing up to three times on different days. Keep in mind that your ring figures will be larger in the summer due to the heat. Any ring I wear in the winter is always looser, so if you're in doubt, always go up in the winter.
Before getting sized, remove any lotions or oils from your hands. Warm up your hands by rubbing them together to improve accuracy. When getting your ring sized, only show the exact finger you intend to wear it on. Because your dominant hand may be slightly larger in size, don't measure one hand and expect the other to match.
The shape of your fingers is often important when selecting a ring size and even the shape of your diamond. It is critical to size your ring based on your knuckle size. If you have large knuckles, the ring should comfortably slide over them and be snug enough that it never falls off. If you have long, slender fingers, a wider band will ensure that your ring fits snugly.
A wider band will always fit snugger and tighter. When purchasing a ring with a wider band, it is best to add a quarter size. If you're buying a ring with a thin band and your weight fluctuates downward, you can consider going a quarter size smaller, but make sure the ring fits over your knuckle.
