Most men do not have a lot of experience wearing rings, so don’t feel bad if you’re not very sure. You may not even be aware that there are better times of the day to size your ring finger, or that you should consider which metals can and cannot be resized. It’s okay, we’ve outlined quick tips to help you make the final call while you try on wedding bands at home.
Size your finger later in the day.
Our fingers change sizes throughout the day. They tend to be a little puffy in the morning and then shrink down later on. Fingers swell in warm weather and reduce in size when cold. They also tend to expand when you are engaging in physical activity. The most effective time to determine your ring size is at the end of the day when your fingers are at their standard size.
Your ring should feel snug, but not too snug.
A ring should slide easily and effortlessly over your knuckle. Once it is in place, it should not be tight or uncomfortable. If you move the ring toward the back of your ring finger, there should even be a small space between your finger and the ring. Removing the ring is a little different. It should take about two or three attempts to slide back over your knuckle and off your finger. Think snug but comfy.
Know your wedding band metals.
Not all metals are created equal. When making a decision about a ring that you will be wearing forever, the type of metal you choose is an important deciding factor. As it pertains to ring sizing, some metals can be resized if needed and some cannot. Gold and cobalt rings can be resized while titanium, ceramic and tungsten rings cannot.
