Rings and
gauges are hard metal objects that can be measured exactly, but your
finger is flesh and bone. Your finger is not round and it cannot be
measured with the same degree of accuracy as the ring. At the end of the
day, the right ring is one that will stay on comfortably but, without any
slippage over first knuckle bone. Average ring
finger sizes may be useful as a point of reference for people who are not
very good at measurements. These are offered to help you know if your
calculations are reasonable. Finger sizes sometimes do not
correspond to body size. Finger sizes also are prone to change with
temperature, humidity, exercise, what you have been eating, time of day,
time of the month, pregnancy and other factors. Dominant hand is usually
1/2 size larger, so if you are right handed and have a size 7 ring that
fits the left hand it is reasonable to guess that a 7 1/2 will fit the
right hand. Quarter sizes are offered to help you get the best fit,
however quarter sizes make more difference on smaller fingers than on
large fingers.
The
best size is usually the ring that fits snugly and gives a little
resistance when you take it off. Wider rings should be a little looser than
narrow rings.
Men take note: that if you are not used to wearing a ring, the proper size
will probably feel tight a first. Many men loose their wedding rings
because they choose sizes that are too loose.
Please
note that these measurements are exact for the American system and
approximate for the other sizing scales, since the intervals in each
system do not correspond exactly.
