And if you do not guess the size, get a ringlet of a larger or smaller size, you will have to contact the jeweler to correct the size.

When determining the size of the ring is worth paying attention to some points:

• You should not determine the size of the ring in the morning, as soon as you woke up. After sleep, the body accumulates additional fluid, which goes out during the day. Such changes may be in the range from half the size to one size. That is, for example, you measured your finger in the morning and received a size of 17.5, and in the afternoon it can change to 16.5. By the evening, your hands may also be slightly swollen, especially if they are subjected to physical exertion. Therefore, the optimal time to determine the size of the ring is the middle of the day.
• It is not recommended to measure the size of the ring after an intense workout. After playing sports hands may swell a little and the size of the ring can be increased.
• It is not necessary to find out the size of the ring in very hot weather when you drink a lot of water. From this, your hands and fingers, respectively, may slightly swell and distort the size of the ring. Such a size distortion can reach one size. This rule is also relevant for pregnant women. Especially in the last stages of pregnancy, many women have swelling of the arms and legs, after birth, the swelling goes away by itself.
• Also, do not know the size of the ringlet when it is very cold outside. Under the influence of low temperatures, the vessels are compressed and the size of the ring can be reduced from half the size to the whole size. When you heat up, and your vessels return to normal, this ring may not fit your finger.

• When you determine the size of the ring, be calm, do not be nervous. In this case, you can determine the exact size of the ringlet.
• Please note that the size of the fingers on the "working" and "non-working" hand may differ. For example, if you are left-handed, then on the left hand the fingers are more by 0.5 - 1 size than on the right hand. Conversely, if you are right-handed, then the fingers on your right hand are 0.5 to 1 more in size than on your left hand.
• Buying a particular ring, pay attention to its thickness. If you intend to buy a thin ring, the width of which will be in the range from 5 to 7 mm, then round the result to the nearest size value.And if you want to buy a massive and wide decoration, the width of which is more than 7 mm, then you should add another half of the size. For example, you have determined that your size is 17, buy a ring or ring with a size of 17.5. This stock will help you to easily put on and take off the decoration. If you neglect this rule, then a massive accessory may simply not fit on your finger.
• Buying jewelry, be sure to take a check. If you suddenly made a mistake with the size, if you have a check, you can exchange it for a ring that fits your size, or return the accessory to the store if there is no replacement.

Buying an expensive ring in a jewelry store, I want to get a beautiful and stylish accessory that will perfectly show off on your finger. The ringlet should not cause discomfort, much less squeeze the finger, since this is fraught with negative consequences. A small-sized ring may interfere with normal blood circulation, as a result of which the finger may swell and even turn blue and you will have to remove the tight ring quickly.

The ring is large in size, on the contrary, it may inadvertently slip off, and you will lose the expensive ornament. Or you will constantly pull the ring, checking if it is in place, and if you have not lost it.

Why do you need additional excitement when it is necessary to correctly determine the size of the ring and then the decoration will bring joy and rivet the views of people around you.
