Rings need to fit well to be comfortable and to minimize the risk of loss from
your finger. A jeweler has sized rings to help you determine your size. If you
wish to measure your size in the comfort of your own home we can supply a set
of plastic sized rings.
Plastic
Sized Rings, sizes 4 to 13
Finger size changes with temperature - less blood flows to the hands when
the hands are cold, so the fingers are then slimmer. Measure your fingers when
your hands are at their usual temperature. The correct size allows the ring
to just slip over the knuckle, not loosely but not so tightly that heroic efforts
are required to remove it. Remember that people's left and right hands are usually
not identical in size. It should be kept in mind that a wide ring will fit a
little more tightly than a narrow ring of the same size.
Ring Resizing
Finger sizes change over the years, and rings may need re-sizing to retain a
comfortable fit. Rings are made smaller by cutting out a section, shaping the
ring to the smaller size, and welding the gap. Rings are made larger by cutting
the ring, reshaping the ring to the size required, and filling in the gap. Some
rings may be slightly enlarged by stretching, but stretching is not advisable
with cast rings or rings with a variable cross-section.
Your local jeweler should be able to resize your rings. Our Trinity
ring and Engagement
Rings should offer no problems. The design of the Kalgoorlie
ring will need rebuilding where it is cut and extended. The Celtic Wedding Bands have a space left for resizing, between the two heron figures.
These bands cannot be enlarged by stretching, as the knot work in the band does
not present a uniform cross-section throughout the band. Caution your jeweler
against attempting to stretch your Celtic Wedding Band.
