Ring can be a wonderful gift, moreover, it can not only be presented to a man by a woman. Such a surprise will please mom, sister, girlfriend. And to make the gift a pleasant and joyful surprise, you should know how to determine the size of the ring.
How to correctly determine the size of the ring?
The size of the fingers in women is different and the judgment that the thin and fragile girls have a smaller size than the large and plump ones, is mistaken. How to choose a ring size if you do not want to advertise your gift in advance:
- Take an existing decoration, measure its diameter or ask the seller to help pick up the same size. The main thing is that the woman you are going to please, it was not small and not great. It is also important to consider on which hand and on which finger the product will be worn - the size of the limbs on the right and left hand may differ.
- You can rely on a lucky chance or, otherwise, "poke your finger in the sky." In this case, you should know that the smallest ringlet size is 13.5 mm, however, most often, this size is determined as a child. The average size is from 15.5 to 17.5 mm, but many girls with voluminous fingers and a size of 19.5, 20.5 or more.
- Since you still want to know the size of the ring of the girl, you can ask him from relatives. Perhaps, the chances of making a wonderful gift, so you have much more than in previous cases.
- There is another option, how to choose the size of the ring, though, and it can be considered very approximate. In some cases, the size of the decoration can be correlated with the size of the clothes , namely, if the size of the clothes S, then the ring size is unlikely to exceed 17 mm, M - 17.5, L - 18.5, XL - 19.5.
How can I determine the size of a ring?
The easiest and most reliable way to measure the diameter of a finger is to take a string, wrap it around the finger on which you plan to wear the ring, transfer the resulting circle to paper and determine the distance between its opposite sides. It is important to know that the measurement is in millimeters.
You can do without drawing, if you cut and measure the length of the thread, divide it by 3.14 and round it to the tenth.
Women with large fingers need to measure not only their base, but also the site where the joint is located, since it is sometimes wider and may interfere with the free placement of the ringlet. By the way, sometimes these recommendations are applicable to women with too thin fingers.
Determine the size of the ring by diameter is simple, even buying a ring in countries such as Japan, the US and Canada. The size range they have is different from the Russian, but by telling the seller the exact diameter, you can buy the jewelry of the right size. You can also use special tables, which, as a rule, are available in all stores.
How to get the most accurate measurements?
It is best to measure in the middle of the day, because it is known that in the morning and evening hours, fingers can swell, but at lunchtime, the diameter will be the average and the most correct. Remember also that you should not measure fingers with such cases:
- during critical days;
- after sports loads;
- in a too frosty or, conversely, hot weather;
- at elevated temperature;
- in a period when you are in a nervous state.
Do not get upset if the decoration is a bit small or too large. All jewelry shops offer a service to reduce or increase rings, but, naturally, it will be easier to make a small one out of a large product, rather than vice versa. You can also negotiate with the seller about exchanging the ring at certain dates, but then do not forget to take a check.
