EXPLORE RING SIZE GUIDE

Choosing the right ring size, especially for a surprise engagement can be a difficult task for you. This article has been compiled to give you exclusive tips and special guidance on choosing the right ring for your upcoming special occasion.

BASICS FOR RING SIZE CONSIDERATION

An engagement ring is worn on the left hand’s fourth finger. The sizes of the ring are based on the general body size and weight. If you have a fiancée who is of average weight and height then a ring of size N might be ideal. On the other hand, the finger size for people who are about 168cm need the size L ½ while those about 160cm tall with slimmer fingers are perfect for size J rings.

Rings come in both whole and half sizes with A being the smallest to Z being the largest. Sometimes, the size may be affected by external factors, like the atmospheric temperatures. Human fingers have the largest size during the evening and therefore this is said to be the best time to measure a ring. Also, fingers tend to be a half size smaller when one is feeling cold and thus this is not an ideal time for measuring the ring size. Generally men’s ring sizes are from P-V while that of ladies are mostly from J-P.

As a general rule, the thickness of the ring will affect its fit. So the thicker the ring, the tighter the fit. If your preferred ring is the one with a deep band width then you will need a size larger for your size

HOW DO I MEASURE MY PARTNER’S RING SIZE
WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE?

The One requirement of a surprise proposal is that your partner should have no idea about it. But this can be very tricky when you don’t know their ring size. The most secretive way to go about this is innocently borrow your partner’s ring if they already own one. You can then trace both the inside and outside circles several times on a plain paper if it’s not possible to sneak out with it to a ring showroom. You can use several rings of your partner if they own multiple pieces.

Another option is to discreetly ask your partner’s family members or friends to innocently go out with them and try out different rings which you can then use to pick the correct ring size.

If you think the above-mentioned ways will not work, you can use a downloadable ring sizer in the middle of the night and use it to obtain a better approximation of your partner's ring size

WHAT IS A RING SIZER AND HOW IS IT USED?

Patina A ring sizer is a chart with approximate sizes of rings that can be printed from online sources. Since the printable ring sizer is not a professional measurement, it’s advised that you only use it as a guide or to get estimate measurements in cases like surprise proposals where it’s not possible to get a professional ring size measurement.

It is generally safer to obtain a slightly larger ring size, as this is easier to resize without causing much damage.

WHAT IF I DON’T GET THE CORRECT RING SIZE MEASUREMENT AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT?

There are a lot of incidents where you won’t get the correct ring size at the very first attempt. This is why it’s important to know upfront from your ring dealer if they offer ring resizing. Resizing involves contracting or extending the band after an incising, and subsequently soldiering and polishing the ring to perfection. However, there are incidences where it’s not possible to resize some gemstone rings. It’s important to discuss with your dealer if it’s possible to exchange these rings for alternative sizes.

ANY EFFECT ON RESIZING A RING?
