How to Determine the Size of Your Next Emerald Ring?

When it comes to choosing the perfect emerald ring, getting the right size is just as important as selecting the design. Whether you’re buying a ring for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, knowing the correct ring size ensures comfort and elegance.

Here's a step-by-step guide by Emerald By Love to help you determine your ring size and make the most of your purchase.

10 Steps to Measure Your Ring Size

  1. Gather the Right Tools: You’ll need a piece of string, a ruler, and a pen. Alternatively, you can use a printable ring sizer or a flexible measuring tape.

  2. Measure at the Right Time: Your fingers tend to swell during the day, especially in warm weather or after physical activity. Measure your finger in the evening for the most accurate result.

  3. Wrap the String Around Your Finger: Take a piece of string or strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your chosen finger.

  4. Mark the String: Use a pen to mark where the string overlaps to create a complete circle around your finger.

  5. Measure the String Length: Lay the string flat and measure the marked length with a ruler in millimeters.

  6. Compare to a Sizing Chart: Use an online ring size chart to find the corresponding size based on your measurement.

  7. Check Existing Rings: If you already own a well-fitting ring, measure its inner diameter with a ruler and match it to a size chart.

  8. Consider the Ring Width: Wider bands often feel tighter, so you may need to go up a half size for thicker rings.

  9. Avoid Guessing: Never estimate your size. If in doubt, visit a jeweler for a professional sizing.

  10. Use Adjustable Options: Brands like Emerald by Love offer adjustable rings, providing flexibility for swelling or future changes.

Tips for When You Receive Your Emerald Ring

  • Test the Fit in Different Conditions: Try on your new ring during warm and cool moments of the day to ensure it remains comfortable. Keep in mind that fingers may swell in hot climates or after physical activity.

  • Rotate for Comfort: Ensure the ring can slide over your knuckle without being too loose or tight.

  • Adjustable Ring Features: If your emerald ring is adjustable, use this feature to tweak the fit as needed. Emerald by Love offers designs that blend comfort with stunning style.

  • Care for Your Emerald: Clean your emerald regularly with a soft cloth and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures to maintain its brilliance.
