The reasons for buying rings can be different, but before that, many have the question of how to measure the size of the ring. There are several ways that will be discussed below.
In order not to torment yourself with the question of how to measure the size of the ring, just go to the nearest jewelry workshop and ask to determine your size. If you want to learn how to do it yourself, remember one rule that states that the diameter of the finger is the size of the ring. Therefore, buying jewelry on the Internet, where you can not measure the product, just take your existing ring and measure its diameter. If the diameter of the ring is 20 mm, then its size will be 20.
Another way to measure the size of the ring, more complex, but much more accurate, is to use an ordinary thread. From geometry lessons, we know that to determine the diameter of a circle , it is necessary to divide its length by the number pi. To determine the circumference of the finger, do 10 turns of thread around it. Then we measure the length of the thread and divide it by 3.14 (pi), then another 10.
When buying jewelry abroad, pay attention to the differences between the scales in different countries.
Ring sizes in Europe correspond to the inner circumference of the ring. To determine our usual size in Russia, you need to multiply the
American ring size by 0.83 and add 11.50 to the resulting value. The Japanese size must be divided by 3 and add 12.67.
To correctly measure the size of the ring, consider the following conditions:
1. The measurement will be made with a greater error, if you measure the size of the ring in extreme heat or cold. In hot weather, the size will be much larger than real, especially if a person is prone to swelling. Measurements at very low temperatures will lead to the fact that the ring at a comfortable temperature will simply not suit you.
2. When you are very excited, and also after intense sports, you should not take measurements, since the accumulated fluid in the body will create an extra error.
3. More accurate data can be obtained by measuring the size of the ring in the afternoon.
4. Consider which ring you are going to buy. If its width is more than 8 mm, then the size of the ring is increased by at least a quarter.
5. When buying a ring slightly larger than your size, you will provide a small margin so that it does not crush you in hot weather. At the same time, the stock should not be too large so as not to lose the jewel in the cold.
6. On the right and left hand, finger sizes may vary. Therefore, measure the fingers of the hand on which you are going to wear the rings.
Here are simple ways to measure your ring size at home.
Knowing the size of the ring is important if you decide to surprise your girlfriend. It is enough to quietly take her ring and apply the above method. You will only have to accept her gratitude and surprise at how exactly you guessed with her size.
The choice of ring size is a very responsible matter, since precious jewelry is quite expensive, and returning them to the store later is not always possible.
