Identifying Your Ring Size
Finding the right ring size can sometimes be tricky! Lots of things can affect our finger size on any given day: heat, humidity, activity level, food we eat...so if you just downed a margarita and ate a bowl of chips and salsa, you can bet your ring size might be off. Visit with me at a show in Santa Fe, and you may have created a trifecta of ring sizing challenges: food, heat, and altitude, especially if you are traveling.Â
However, knowing the right size for the finger you are trying to fit is essential to getting a comfortable ring that you will want to wear regularly and for years to come.
Important items to consider when sizingÂ
A couple items to note, prior to finding your size:
- a wider ring band will create a tighter fit (over 3/8” W generally requires going up a 1/4-1/2 ring size)
- make sure you have identified and will measure the finger you wish to fit
- your dominant hand will always have larger fingers than your non-dominant hand, so don’t assume your fingers will be the same on both hands. Most people are at least ½ size bigger, sometimes more on the dominant hand.
Where to get sized
Don’t know your ring size? Going to a jeweler to be fit properly is always the best way to determine your size. Another option: contact me for a ring sizer using the Contact Us section of the website and make sure to enter your mailing address prior to sending the message. I am happy to ship one to you for free to ensure you have a proper fit. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery of sizer. Â
