Testing Your Ring For Size

Don't forget, when buying rings, that you must allow for sizing. Everybody has a different size of finger (and each finger on the hand is also a different size). There can be no guesswork, especially if the ring is unique. Many stores will allow exchange of ring sizes if they have similar rings available.

When consumers purchase a gold ring, they should be physically present to go in a shop in order to try out the gold ring for him or herself. You can, of course, try out the ring and buy from another shop or online. The store will be only too happy to assist you – you may find the experience of customer service is enough to to make you buy the ring there anyway. Trying out the ring is the only way to find a good suitable fit in one appointment or shop visit.

Most professional jewelers have a set of gauge rings to be able to determine the appropriate ring size. Most countries use a numerical scale such as the ring sizing stick. Using a strip of paper to gauge the ring size can be very inaccurate because the material and the finger itself are both soft. Besides, the size of one’s finger changes depending on the day. Because of this some experts recommend measuring the finger at the end of the day when it is at its largest. Other factors which can affect the finger size are humidity, temperature and exercise.

The good news is that most gold rings can be resized. This means all is not lost and, in any case, finger sizes will change throughout a person's lifetime requiring ring size alteration (or a brand new ring!).
