You will probably agree that gifts are that element of our life that makes it more varied, more fun and more enjoyable. Some people like to receive gifts, others like to give them. Some make them on holidays, others give just like that. But in any case, gifts are always nice and fun.
Anything can be suitable as a gift: some kind of wardrobe item, accessory, household item, household appliances, souvenir or postcard. Some trifle, a real trinket, can also come up as a surprise or a small present. Often they even give animals: parrots, fish, hamsters, puppies or kittens.
But very often people give each other rings. This is a great option to please even the most sophisticated gift person. Indeed, as far as we know, some people will only need a verbal congratulation, while others will not like jewelry. But the ring is a universal thing. Firstly, because you can pick up a ring for any person. And secondly, rings are completely different: from very simple and very inexpensive, toexclusive, bespoke, gem-encrusted, etc. The latter usually cost a fortune.
True, when going to give a ring, we may be faced with the fact that we do not know the size. In this case, you can use this article - below we will consider several options for how to find out the size of a finger for a ring.
In general, there are different systems of measurements and sizes in different countries. But in Russia, it is customary to take the diameter of the ring itself as the size. You should also remember that the size of the ring, which you determine using the methods below, will only fit the finger whose size you have learned. And one more thing: the fingers of the left hand are different from the fingers of the right (they are a little thinner). These are features of physiology and the fact that the bulk of people are right-handed. It would seem that there is nothing complicated in this, but for some reason some people often forget about it and remember it when they are already in the store and choosing a ring.
So, you are thinking about how to find out the size of a finger for a ring. Remember: size (aka diameter) is measured in millimeters and is always a multiple of 0.5. The sizes are: 15; 15.5; 16; 16, 5 and so on in ascending order. Size 23 is considered the largest (by standards).
The simplest and most reliable way is to determine the size of the ring in any jewelry store / salon. There are special measuring rings on which the sizes are written. You simply measure the ring and immediately find out the size. The process takes less than a minute. But it should be taken into accountthat there are two types of gauges: for wide rings and for narrow ones. So, when choosing a ring, make sure that it “sits” well - does not press or slip off. Be careful!
But what to do if the option to go to the store is not expected in the near future, or the ring is not intended for you, but soon it will be time to buy? For example, a girl wants to make a surprise, but does not know the size. How to find out the ring size for a man? There are several options here:
- Take a currently unused ring and go shopping with it (if possible).
- Measure the diameter of the ring with a ruler or caliper.
- Put the ring on a sheet of paper and trace the outline with a pencil or pen along the inner diameter.
- Try the ring on one of your fingers and make a note where it gets stuck.
- Use a size chart that can be printed out and then cut with scissors.
It also happens that a loved one does not take off this jewelry at all. How to find out the size of the finger for the ring in this case?
You can use a thread (cotton) - you need to wrap it around your finger five times so that the thread does not press or sag. Then take the beginning and end of the thread in the crosshairs and, without lifting your fingers, cut off both ends. After that, you need to remove the thread, measure its length and divide the resulting value by 15, 7. The result of this calculation is the desired size. It may not be a multiple of 0.5. Roundnumber up.
Sometimes spontaneous sizing is also appropriate. Rings, as we already know, rejoice at all. Therefore, walking around the city with your soulmate, you can go to a jewelry store under the pretext of "just look at something." While watching, invite her (him) to try on the sample you like. After that, you can simply find out the size of the suitable ring from the consultant.
How to find out the size of a finger for a ring? As you can see, this task is quite simple. And, if there are no special devices in order to find out the size, you just need to turn on your imagination and think a little - some option will definitely come to your mind.
I would also like to give some advice on ring sizes. It is not recommended to measure fingers in the following situations:
- when it's very hot or very cold;
- when feeling unwell;
- girls - during menstruation;
- after sports;
- early morning.
The ideal option is to go to choose a ring in the late afternoon, and in a good mood.
Now, knowing how to choose the right size ring, you can be sure that your gift will definitely fit, and feel free to shop.
