Ring Sizing Guide — Honey Designs

With engagement season upon us, let's chat about ring sizing. How do you know if a ring fits you properly? Before making a purchase, several factors should be considered, so let's dig into some guides and tips for ring sizing.

Here are a few considerations to remember when sizing your finger:

- You want the ring to fit your finger comfortably; snug enough so it won't fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with relative ease

- It's also good to keep in mind that the finger size fluctuates slightly based on diet, temperature, and activity. The way your ring fits may change somewhat over the course of a single day.

- Measure your ring size toward the end of the day when your finger is at its largest.

- Ring sizing for your dominant hand will usually be about a half to a whole size bigger than your non-dominant hand.

- You may find that a fluctuation of a half size or less will still fit comfortably most of the time.

- The wider the ring, the tighter it will fit on your finger. This is something to keep in mind when you're planning on stacking multiple rings on one finger.

- The interior of a Comfort Fit ring puts less metal in contact with your finger, so they tend to fit a little looser. A Comfort Fit ring is more rounded on the inside versus a standard fit ring, and it glides easier over your knuckle.

You may find that you've followed all of these tips, but you still need to have your ring re-sized. It's not a big deal to do this; however, it does affect the stone tightness. When a ring is sized, either larger or smaller, all accent stones have to be re-tightened, adding some additional risk for stone loss. It's best to only size a ring once or twice for this reason if you have accent stones. It's also best to wear a ring through a season or two of temperature changes to really feel the difference needed if it's not drastic; that way, you can avoid oversizing and re-sizing when it's not needed. For a quick or short term fix, I love these ring size adjusters.

I've included a link to my online e-guide here. I also suggest purchasing this ring sizer from Amazon.

My goal is to make the ring purchasing experience as fun for you as possible. This is an exciting time for you and I want it to be a seamless process.
