Fitting your wedding band is not always easy. Sometimes it will feel too tight, while other times it will feel too loose. That’s because there is no such thing as the perfect fit when it comes to any jewelry, especially rings. In reality, a good fit basically just means it feels comfortable most of the time.
The Perfect Fit
First of all, it’s important to know and to fully understand (soak this in!) that there is never going to be a perfect fit. And if your ring does fit perfectly, it’s probably just for a moment, an afternoon, or, at most, the day, because our fingers change size with the weather, from what we eat, or from working with our hands a lot.
Knowing this though, you can still find the a good fit; you just have to be open to the idea that it won’t always fit the same. Ring Sizing
To help you find that almost perfect fit, you should work with an experienced jeweler to get your finger professionally sized. And I’m not talking about going to a jewelry store that has some plastic sizer and an inexperienced sales associate. When you’re going to be wearing something as meaningful and expensive as a wedding band, you want to make sure you do it right.
When you go in to get your finger sized, they should have various tools and methods to help you find the ring size that is going to feel the most comfortable. This is an entirely personal opinion, so if it doesn’t feel right, speak up and let them know.
