Rings: which size should you choose?
Finding the perfect size: A comprehensive guide to choosing the ideal size for your ring
Choosing a ring is an important milestone in many people’s lives. Whether it’s a wedding ring, an engagement ring or simply a fashion accessory, it’s crucial to find the perfect size.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps for choosing the perfect ring size.
1. Use a ring sizer
A ring sizer is a tool specially designed to measure ring sizes. It is usually available from jewellers. By placing your finger in the different notches on the ring sizer, you can determine your exact ring size.
2. Measuring without a ring sizer
This method is less accurate, but it can give you a rough idea. Use a tape measure or a strip of paper and wrap it around the widest part of the finger on which you plan to wear the ring. Make sure the strip fits snugly but isn’t too tight. Note down the measurement in millimetres.
3. Bear in mind the season and the temperature!
The size of your fingers can vary depending on the season and the temperature. Generally speaking, fingers tend to be more swollen in summer and slimmer in winter. It is therefore advisable to bear in mind the time of year when you take the measurement!
4. Take the ring design into account
Some ring designs are wider or thicker than others. Wider rings generally require a slightly larger size than slimmer rings. When trying on rings, make sure you try different widths to find the size that suits you best.
Our collection of jewellery with interchangeable beads (available only in our Geneva shops) generally requires you to choose one or two sizes larger than your usual size, due to the space taken up by the beads.
5. Seek professional help
If you’re unsure about your ring size, please don’t hesitate to consult a jewellery professional. There’s also a tool available that can measure rings if you have one that fits you. They’ll also be able to advise you on the ideal size depending on the type of ring you choose.
6. Avoid guessing
Guessing your ring size can lead to costly mistakes; although Sudamerica Stones will, where possible, exchange the ring for a more suitable size, some shops do not accept exchanges.
It is therefore best to take the time to measure your finger properly or to consult a professional to avoid any inconvenience caused by the wrong size.
In conclusion:
Choosing the perfect ring size takes a little time and care, but it’s well worth it to ensure comfort and elegance.
Please don’t hesitate to seek professional advice to ensure your ring fits your finger perfectly.
