How to find out the ring size - determine the ring size at home
Men are always burdened by the question of the size of the ring. If you want to make a favorite gift, you do not have to make a mistake with the size, so that the surprise is a success. When you buy a ring for yourself, it's easier: you can try on several items in a jewelry store. But still, without knowing the answer to the question "What is your size?", You feel uncomfortable.
Choosing a ring correctly
When choosing a ring, two factors must be taken into account: the thickness of the finger on which the purchased ring will be worn, and the thickness of the ring itself. When choosing thick, more than eight millimeters, the ring needs more space for its wearing, more subtle, correspondingly, requires less space.
It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the size of the left hand is usually different from the right one. Therefore, the fitting should be done on the finger for which the ring is intended. Ring size can vary depending on the time years. For example, in summer, fingers often swell, sweat, slightly increase in size. Try fitting in a cool place in a state of complete tranquility.
Some tips from specialists:
- You should not try on fitting in the morning. Fingers at this time swell, so the size will not be accurate.
- It is impossible to carry out fitting after physical exertion, visiting a sports hall or swimming pool.
- Do not try on rings during menstruation.
- Ring fittings should be avoided during the hot season or at minus temperatures, and also at elevated body temperature.
How to choose the right ring
The easiest way is to come to the jewelry store and trust the professionals. Workers know how to properly set the size and pick up the ring. But this method is good if you want to buy a ring for yourself. If you want to make a favorite gift, you can use some tricks to correctly determine the size of her finger.
- The easiest way is to take one of the rings of your favorite and on it already pick up a gift.
- You can simply outline the inner contour of the ring on paper.
- Fold the paper with a tube, slide it into the ring, and when the paper is snug against the inner contour, fix the sheet.
- With a ruler, you can independently measure the diameter of the ring.
- You can just try on the beloved ring on your hand, and then do the same in the jewelry store. The trouble is that the ring can not fit on any finger: women usually have thin and graceful hands, and men have large and wide arms.
- You can "estimate" the size of your finger according to the size of the gloves. Usually, when a woman wears small gloves, then the size of her fingers will be small - 15.5-16.6.For each subsequent size, add one by one to each value.
- During sleep, you can measure the size of your favorite finger:
-
you need to carefully make five turns around your finger, for which you will buy a ringlet. Wrap should not be tight and not too weak. Then fold the thread in half and cut at the base. Measure with a ruler the length of the thread and divide the resulting number by 15.7.As a result, the size of the ring will be determined. If you want to buy a ring larger, you need to round up the resulting number in a larger direction, and with a thin and elegant choice - to a smaller one.
-
can be sized using a paper strip. It must be wrapped around the finger and denote the resulting length. It is necessary to take into account the width of the joints. It happens that the joint itself is much wider than the base of the finger. Therefore, when measuring, you need to remember this.
-
Precise measurement of the size of the ring can be resorted to using a special finger finder. Usually the kit includes several strips of different lengths, on which the length is indicated. You can make a finger yourself. It should look like in the picture. You should make a slot in the right place and measure the right finger by folding the paper tape.
If the ring is unsuccessful, jewelry stores can make a replacement, if any, available. A common way is also the reworking of rings for jewelers.
It should be remembered that in Russia the ring size is determined by the inner diameter in millimeters, but in European countries the circumference is taken into account. Denoting the Russian size as L and the European size as D, and remembering from the course of geometry that the circumference is the diameter multiplied by the number Pi, which is on average 3.14, we get the formula L = D X 3.14.
Below is a comparative table of Russian and European sizes.
