If you need help determining the proper size of the ring, you can always ask for help from experienced goldsmiths or the jewelry store staff. This is a very important thing, because if you don’t do it properly, and a ring or a wedding band can’t be corrected, than you will have to give more money than you expected. How and when to measure the circumference of a finger?
Do it at the end of the day (in the evening) when fingers have the biggest volume. Don’t measure the finger when your hands are cold, do it when they warm up to a room temperature. When determining the size of the ring, width is also important. Wider ring will also have a bigger circumference, because it covers bigger part of the finger. Keep in mind the factors that mat affect that your ring after a certain time doesn’t fit your finger any more, for example changes in the joints during life time, time of the year (in the summer hands get swollen) etc. Person who is going to wear the ring must know that the feeling on the hand won’t always be the same. Sometimes it will be more comfortable, sometimes it will be tighter.
Therefore, there is another solution. If you have a ring that suits you in all conditions, we can take that ring for proper measurement.
In this case pregnant women are in the unenviable position. Therefore it would be advisable for them to take rings or wedding bands, which can later be expanded or shrunk after childbirth. Our recommendation to all pregnant women is to postpone their rings and wedding bands after the fifth month of pregnancy due to swollen hands. You can never know when pregnant women will get swollen hands, only solution than to take off the ring would be, cutting it. Cutting a ring must be done with special tools to prevent possible injuries and so it could later be returned to its normal state.
