Determining the size of a girl's finger
If you decide to give your girlfriend a ring, but you don’t know her size, it doesn’t matter. There are several ways to solve this problem. So how do you know the size of a girl's finger?
We determine the size imperceptibly
Regardless of who the gift is for - mother, sister, bride - the surprise effect will make the present even more pleasant and effective. Therefore, you will have to decide on the size imperceptibly for the donee. There are several ways to determine the size without drawing too much attention.
If you live together, then you just need to observe where the jewelry is removed and then discreetly try it on your finger. If we are talking about a wedding ring, remember that they wear it on the ring finger, which means that this is the size you need.
If the fair sex has enough rings and doesn't wear them all together every day, just take the piece of jewelry and have a professional have it sizing in the workshop using the right tools.
In the case when it is impossible to discreetly take the jewelry for a while, just draw its outline with a pencil. Remember that you are interested in the inner diameter.
On the Internet, you can find special size rulers to determine the size of the ring. You need to print it, and then put it on the girl's finger. But in this case, technology requires the girl to sleep soundly.
There is another option for determining the size of the ring, it cannot be called the most accurate, but it also has a right to exist. Take the girl's glove and go with her to the jewelry store. Try to find among the customers the one on whose hand the glove will "sit" best. And then pick up a piece of jewelry on this girl's finger.
But with this method of determining the size, it is important that the glove "sits" on your girl's hand, like a glove. Perhaps the best option is a leather accessory.
Measurement system
Please be aware that ring size numbers vary from country to country. In Russia, the size is equal to the circumference of the finger in millimeters.
If the diameter has an uneven or half value, then it must be rounded. There is an unspoken rule: the size of a thin ring is rounded down, and a wide one - up.
Sizing with a thread
It should be noted that this is perhaps the most popular way to determine the size of a ring. While the girl is sleeping, wrap the thread around her finger and fix the desired length.
When sizing with thread or paper, remember not to tighten too tight.After all, the ring should also pass through the joint between the phalanges. Therefore, make a small allowance.
Little tricks
But what if your girlfriend sleeps lightly, has no jewelry, and it is not possible to find out the size on your own at home? Then you have to trust the professionals.
In jewelry stores, experts will be able to help you, even if you only have a photo at your disposal. By the way, such a measurement "by eye" often turns out to be what is called "in the top ten".
In addition, if your chosen one is of average build - not full and not thin - then, as a rule, she has 17 ring finger size.
If your fiancée has a skinny build, then she is most likely size 14.
By the way, even if you were a little mistaken, and the ring turned out to be a little large or small as a result, do not be discouraged. Today jewelers will help to solve this problem. Often such workshops are located at jewelry stores.
Today, more and more often men bring their chosen one to the salon and simply pay for her choice. Of course, in this case you will definitely not be mistaken with the size, but the effect of surprise will be lost. But, ultimately, the choice is up to you.
What ring to give
There is no unequivocal answer to this question and cannot be. It all depends on your taste and the preferences of your chosen one.
If she wears exclusively silver, then you may well give her a piece of jewelry made of this metal. If she prefers, after all, gold - the ring must be gold. The general rule is that jewelry should fit on the ring finger and be with a gem.
Someone decides to give a piece of jewelry inherited from a mother or grandmother, as a sign that he trusts his chosen one with something very valuable.
Well, for someone it is important that the ring is exclusive, and he turns to the workshop for a single piece of jewelry. Any of the above solutions have a right to exist.
Well, do not forget that if we are talking about an engagement, then if your chosen one agrees, you will need to buy wedding rings. So, after weighing the financial possibilities, it may be more prudent to opt for not the most expensive option.
Although different countries have different traditions of marriage proposal, it is still believed that the engagement ring should be presented in a box.
If the girl agrees, then she accepts the gift, if not, she simply returns it in a gift box. And when a young man puts an engagement ring on a girl's hand, it looks like a man makes a decision himself, depriving the girl of her freedom of choice.
There are many options for presenting the ring in an unusual and memorable way. It can be a romantic dinner in a restaurant, horseback riding or even serenades forgotten by many.
Men, don't be afraid to appear funny or different from others. Believe me, it is in this case that the girl will appreciate your efforts and see the depth of your feelings.
The ring is an obligatory attribute of the engagement ceremony, and it is quite possible to find out its size. Using a paper size ruler, thread, gloves, or jewelry that you already have. Do not hesitate to contact the sales consultants of jewelry stores for help, believe me, they will help you make the right choice. And it is important that your sincere feelings and desire to make your chosen one happy were behind the gift.
