Size measurement and precise selection of moissanite rings

Measurement method for the size of moissanite rings

Professional tool measurement method

Ring size bar and ring ring set: These are professional measurement tools commonly used in jewelry stores. The ring ring set consists of a series of metal rings of different sizes, and each ring is marked with the corresponding size number. When measuring, put each ring from the ring ring set onto the finger where the ring is to be worn one by one until you find a ring that is neither too tight nor too loose when worn, can slide smoothly through the finger joint without easily slipping off. The size number corresponding to this ring ring is the size of the ring on the finger. The ring size bar is used to verify whether the size of the ring ring is accurate. Just place the selected ring ring on the size bar and read the corresponding size scale. This method provides relatively accurate measurement results, but it requires the use of professional tools.

There are existing methods for measuring rings

Directly measure the inner diameter: If you already have a ring of the appropriate size (the material is not limited, such as gold rings, silver rings, etc.), you can directly measure the inner diameter of the ring with a ruler. When measuring, align the zero mark of the ruler with one side of the inner wall of the ring and read the corresponding scale value on the other side of the inner wall, with the unit being millimeters. After obtaining the inner diameter value, you can refer to the ring size comparison table to convert the corresponding ring size. However, this method requires ensuring the accuracy of the existing ring size and minimizing errors as much as possible during measurement.

Perimeter conversion method: Use an existing suitable ring as well. Wrap a thin string around the inner wall of the ring once, make marks at the overlapping points of the string, then straighten the string and measure the lengths between the marks with a ruler. The result obtained is the inner perimeter of the ring. Then, according to the ring size comparison table, find the corresponding ring size through the inner circumference value.

Finger measurement method

Thin string measurement method: Prepare a non-elastic thin string and wrap it around the base of the finger where the ring is to be worn. Mark the overlapping points of the string with a pen. Then straighten the thin string and measure the length between the marks with a ruler. This length is the circumference of the finger. To reduce measurement errors, it is advisable to measure several times and take the average value. After obtaining the circumference of the finger, refer to the ring size comparison table to determine the appropriate ring size.

Paper strip measurement method: Similar to the thin string measurement method, except that the thin string is replaced with a narrow paper strip. Wrap the paper around the base of your finger once, make marks at the overlapping points, unfold the paper, measure the length between the marks with a ruler to obtain the circumference of your finger, and then convert the size according to the size comparison table. This method is simple to operate, but the paper strip is prone to deformation. When measuring, be careful to keep the paper strip as close to your finger as possible and flat.

Measurement Precautions

Measurement time selection: The size of fingers can be affected by factors such as temperature and time. Generally speaking, fingers tend to be slightly thicker in the afternoon and evening than in the morning because they may become a little swollen after a day of activities. Therefore, it is best to measure the finger size in the afternoon or evening, so that the obtained size is closer to the actual size when wearing.

Consider the size of the finger joint: Some people's finger joints are thicker than the base of their fingers. When measuring the size, make sure the ring can slide smoothly through the finger joint; otherwise, even if the size of the base of the finger is appropriate, the ring may not fit. The dimensions of the base of the finger and the finger joint can be measured separately, and a larger size that can meet the wearing requirements of both parts can be selected.

Take the average of multiple measurements: To reduce measurement errors, it is recommended to measure the finger size multiple times using the same measurement method and then take the average as the final result. For instance, measure three times using the fine line measurement method, add up the perimeter values obtained from the three measurements and then divide by three to get the average perimeter. Finally, determine the size according to the size comparison table.

Key points for accurately selecting Moissanite rings

Choose the style in combination with the size

Ring arm design: Different ring arm designs have a certain impact on the compatibility of dimensions. If your fingers are relatively thick, you can choose a style with a wider ring arm. This way, it will be more comfortable to wear and can visually balance the thickness of your fingers. If the fingers are thinner, the narrow ring arm style will look more exquisite and won't make the fingers appear overly bulky. At the same time, pay attention to whether the arc of the ring arm fits the fingers to avoid the situation where the ring arm is too hard or too soft, causing discomfort when wearing.

Setting method: Some special setting methods may affect the overall size of the ring and the wearing experience. For example, for an encrusted moissanite ring, as the metal wraps around the edge of the gemstone, the overall size of the ring may increase slightly. Claw-set rings, on the other hand, are relatively more transparent, but the design of the claws may cause them to catch objects around when worn. When making a purchase, consider the impact of these factors on size and wearing.

Consider the space for size adjustment

Adjustable styles: Some moissanite rings are designed in adjustable sizes, such as open rings or rings with extended chains. The advantage of this kind of ring is that it can be fine-tuned according to the change in finger size, making it suitable for people whose finger sizes tend to fluctuate easily, or for situations where the exact size of the recipient is uncertain when giving it as a gift. However, adjustable rings may be slightly less stable than fixed-size rings, so it is necessary to pay attention to the stability of the adjustable parts.

Ring modification service: If you purchase a fixed-size ring but the size is not quite suitable, you can consult the merchant to see if they offer a ring modification service. Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to modify rings made of precious metals such as platinum and 18K gold, but there are also limitations to the extent of modification. Changes that are too large or too small may affect the structure and appearance of the ring. Before changing the ring, it is necessary to communicate fully with the merchant to understand the cost, time and possible impact on the ring.

Try-on experience

Actual wearing experience: If conditions permit, it is best to try on the moissanite ring yourself. When trying it on, pay attention to whether the ring can be put on and taken off easily, and whether there is any lag, pressure or looseness during the wearing process. At the same time, move your fingers to see if the ring moves along with the movement of your fingers and if it affects the normal movement of your fingers.

Matching effect: When trying it on, you can also observe the matching effect of the ring with your hand shape. Different hand shapes are suitable for different styles of moissanite rings. For instance, people with shorter fingers can choose styles with distinct vertical lines, such as the marquise-shaped moissanite ring, which can visually elongate the fingers. People with longer fingers can choose round, square or other fuller styles to enhance the fullness of their fingers.
