How to know the size of a finger before buying a ring

Choosing a ring, it is extremely important to know its size, especially in the case when the decoration is acquired in absentia. For example, a man decided to make a present to a beloved woman. There is nothing complicated in this, it is enough to show a little wit and use the following tips. Let's see how to find out the size of the finger on which the ring will be worn.

Determine the size of your finger

Let's say it happened that you did not have to wear rings before. And if they were, they just forgot the size. In this case, you can proceed as follows. The simplest thing is to go to the jewelry stores and already there to determine the size of the finger for the ring. For these purposes, the store uses special samples, after fitting and which will be determined size.

Well, if you want to decide before you go to the jewelry store to buy, then you need to take the ring already available for you and measure its diameter with a ruler. For example, its diameter is 16 mm (1.6 cm), then the size of the finger will be 16.

In the case where the opportunity to measure the ring is not (due to his absence), you will have to use the usual thread. How to know the size of a finger with it? Take the thread and wrap it around your finger. Cut it off at the point where the two ends meet. Then take the ruler and measure the length of the thread. The resulting digit will be the girth of a finger. To get its diameter, you need to cut your finger girth by 3.14. If the diameter you get is not an integer, for example, 16.9 or 18.2, then the size is determined by the nearest value. Accordingly, there will be 17 and 18.

Please note that during the day, by measuring the same finger, you can get slightly different data. The fact that morning fingers - still swollen after sleep, the same thing is observed and closer to the evening. Incorrect measurements can be obtained if you spend them during the months, after playing sports, and also in very hot or, conversely, very cold weather. Hold your finger in a calm state when the temperature of your body is not raised or lowered.

If the ring is bought to another person

How do you know the size of another person's finger? Most often this question is asked by men who decided to make a nice present to their beloved women. Ask directly, what size ring will suit you, ugly and unoriginal. Well, in that case, you will have to use one of the following methods.

1. It is necessary to take the ring that the woman wears, and measure its diameter as described above. If you are afraid of producing your own measurements, then the ring, whose missing the lover will not notice, should be taken with you to the jewelry store.
2. The second way to know the size of your finger is to gently hold it at night when the woman is sleeping. For these purposes, the same thread or strip of paper is useful. Most importantly, everything is done quietly and without noise.
3. You can ask for help from your lover's friend, if, of course, you can trust her. Let her ask your girl for the size of the ring or they will try to determine it together. Most importantly, do everything so that your lover does not suspect anything.
4. Well, finally, the last method, more complicated, but quite effective. Somehow accidentally (or on the sly), try on the ring of your beloved on your finger. Notice how deep it sits. If possible, make a mark with a pen (or remember). Then measure the diameter of the finger at the mark and, based on the data obtained, make a purchase.

Now you know how to know the size of your finger. Of course, independent measurements will give only the result "by sight", errors can not be ruled out. And yet it's better than nothing. Not knowing the size of the finger, it is extremely difficult to choose a ring.
