How do you know the size of a ring?

Ring, ring,

Roll on the porch,

Show me the place,

Choose a bride.

The ring of the old was symbol of the unity of two loving hearts. It is given to the young men by their chosen women at the betrothal. They put it on each other's young fingers, marrying together. In most cases, they are given by their husbands to their wives for a jubilee or another round anniversary of a joint life. The ring in this sense is present in the symbolism of all peoples. Europeans in the form of a pectoral decoration. The representatives of the black continent - in the form of a hoop, put on the head. Indians - in the form of ritual wedding bracelets. But, despite the external difference of this subject, all the people, when choosing and buying it, experience the same problem. Namely, how to find out, or how to measure the size of a ring correctly. Let's try to deal with this important and sometimes directly stalling issue and we.

How to correctly determine the size of the ring?

There are a lot of ways to solve this problem. The simplest option is to take your favorite by the hand and take it to a jewelry store. Let her choose a piece of jewelry to her liking, and an experienced master already knows how to correctly measure the size of the ring on her finger. Only if you are going to make it to order, then discuss in advance the desired width. After all, the diameter of the wide rings needs to be made a little more than the narrow ones. And yet, for the measurement you need to choose a time when you are calm, do not rush anywhere and your body temperature is in absolute norm. But the morning, the critical days and two hours after playing sports or other active activities for this procedure are categorically not suitable because of the possible puffiness of the fingers.

And how to know the size of the ring, if its purchase should be a surprise? The most adventurous method is temporarily to take possession of the object ring, which you are going to give it to. No, you will not give away the gift. Just on it you can choose the right size. But this method is dangerous, you simply can not understand, if suddenly "kidnapping" will open. So it's better to do something different.

How to calculate ring size without special measuring devices?

Let's show wit and think about how to measure the size of the ring, not "wiping" it. For example, ask the girl to give you a look at her ring and, as if accidentally, put it on your finger. If you have a pen at hand, it's great. Mark the place on the finger, to which the ring is worn, and then the jeweler measures your finger with a special tape. If there are no writing objects nearby, you will have to navigate through memory.

Another manipulation with the ring looks like this. Put it on a piece of paper and circle from the inside, tightly pressing the tip of the pencil or the handle of the handle to the "border". The resulting circle will serve as a standard. Another option, how to find out what size ring is suitable for your lady, is to insert a piece of paper in her pipe that is folded into a tube. The leaf should fit snugly against the inner walls of the ring. Fasten the edges of the tube and pull it out, and then the path lies all in the same jewelry store.

A simple thread or a piece of rope can also be a good help. Wrap her finger in the place where there should be a ring, and mark the places of contact with a pencil or pen. And if the length of the thread allows, then tie her ends to a knot with a bow. With the same success you can use a thin strip of paper. And if it is preliminarily marked with a ruler by centimeters, then in general you get a real measuring tape, by which you can then easily determine the size using our table.

The promashhechka came out

But here measurements are made, the gift is bought and presented. But with the size of the bobble out, the ring is too big. Can I change the size of an already finished ring? Of course you can. Do this in all jewelry shops, and the price of this process is quite small. After all, squeeze or stretch fringe jewelry is even possible for a beginner jewelry business master. It will not hurt even the presence of stones, they just have to be strengthened additionally in the frame, but this case is not tricky either. It is much more difficult to change the size of a ring with engraving, since even an experienced master can irretrievably ruin it. Maybe it's better to leave a large ring, how is it? With age, fingers will fill up, and it will be in your time. Well, if the decoration was not enough, it is easier to replace it with a larger size than to spoil such beauty.
