Find Your Perfect Ring Fit for Every Style

Why Ring Sizing Matters More Than You Think

A ring is one of the few accessories worn every day. Imagine your beautiful, custom-designed engagement ring slipping off or, worse, feeling too tight. Not cute. At Stór by Margot, we’re all about that “just-right” feeling. Here’s why sizing is so crucial:

Daily Comfort: A well-sized ring feels like an extension of you. It won’t slide, pinch, or get stuck.
Preserves the Ring’s Quality: Constant resizing can wear down the band, especially for delicate, intricate designs.
Peace of Mind: A perfect fit means you can wear it without worry, knowing it’s both secure and comfortable.

Step 1: How to Measure Ring Size at Home (No Tools? No Problem)

Measuring your ring size at home is simple if you know the tricks. And let’s face it, not everyone has a ring sizer lying around. Try one of these easy methods:

String or Paper Strip Method: Wrap a string or thin strip of paper around the base of your finger. Mark the spot where it overlaps, then measure it against a ruler. Voilà, you have your ring circumference! Just make sure your strip of paper isn’t too wide and hold it tight around the finger. Check a ring size chart to match it up.
The “Borrow a Ring” Trick: If you’re measuring for someone else (and trying to keep it a secret), borrow a ring they wear on the intended finger. Place it on a printable ring sizer chart, measure the inside diameter or take it to a jeweler.
Ring Sizing Apps: Technology to the rescue! Some apps let you place a ring directly on your phone screen and match it to a size. Just be sure the app is reputable and accurate.

These are quick methods for a general estimate, but for an investment piece like a custom ring, precise measurements are key. Let’s talk professional sizing!

Step 2: Get Professionally Sized (Because DIY Isn’t Always Enough)

For luxury, bespoke jewelry, nothing beats a professional ring fitting. Here’s why it’s worth it:

Accuracy: Jewelers use specialized tools for a perfect fit.
Material Expertise: Certain metals fit differently, and a jeweler can guide you on size based on material.
Ring widths matter: The width of your final ring affects how it will fit on a finger. It’s important to narrow that down before finalizing the size.
Tips for Different Seasons: Did you know our fingers change size with the weather? A jeweler will size your ring for year-round comfort.

Simply put, if you’re investing in something bespoke and beautiful, you’ll want sizing that’s spot-on.

Step 3: Planning Ahead—Can My Ring Be Resized?

Life changes, and sometimes, so does your ring size. Here’s what to know about resizing:

Material Matters: Some metals, like platinum, are trickier to resize than gold. Other materials, like titanium, are nearly impossible to adjust.
Design Details: Intricate designs or full eternity bands may limit resizing options. Think ahead if you’re choosing something intricate!
The Resizing Range: Most rings can be resized up or down by one to two sizes without risking damage to the band or stone settings.

Our tip? If you’re close to a size but not quite sure, choose a design with a resizing option. A little flexibility goes a long way.

Step 4: How to Secretly Find Your Partner’s Ring Size

Planning a surprise proposal or gift? Measuring without your partner’s knowledge might sound daunting, but here are a few stealthy tricks:

Ask Friends or Family: They may already know, or better yet, could find out without suspicion.
Borrow a Ring: If they already wear a ring on the same finger, borrow it (just briefly!) to get a measurement.
Use Their Hands as a Guide: Take note of their hand size and compare it to yours. It’s not exact science, but it’s better than guessing!

These tricks may not yield an exact size, but they’ll get you in the ballpark. And remember, resizing is an option if you’re close.

Common Ring Sizing Myths—Busted!

You’ve probably heard some “advice” on ring sizing that doesn’t quite hold up. Here are a few myths, debunked:

“Ring sizes are the same everywhere.” Nope! International sizes vary, so check the conversion chart if you’re buying abroad.
“Your fingers don’t change size.” Fingers do change, especially in heat or cold, and a too-tight ring in summer could fit perfectly in winter.
“You can’t resize a ring more than once.” Some rings can be resized multiple times, but it depends on the material and design.

At Stór by Margot, we make sure every client feels informed and comfortable with their options. We’re not just here to create a beautiful ring but to ensure it fits perfectly and grows with you. And once you’ve got the right size, check out our guide to choose the right stone!

Ring Size Conversion Guide for International Shoppers

Buying from overseas? Here’s a quick conversion to keep handy. The sizing might vary slightly, but here’s the general guide:

US Sizes: Standard for North America.
UK Sizes: Uses letters instead of numbers (e.g., M, N).
European Sizes: Based on circumference in millimeters.

Pro tip: Print a ring sizer that includes your country’s measurements to get a more accurate read on size.

Fitting for Life: Making Sure Your Ring Fits Every Day

Even with a precise fit, some days your ring might feel a bit tight or loose. Here’s how to ensure comfort:

Hot Days vs. Cold Days: In hot weather, our fingers can swell, while in colder temperatures, they can shrink slightly. To test your fit, try it on during a moderate day, or test it at different times of the day to make sure it’s comfortable.
Ring Inserts: A temporary fix for rings that fit loosely. These inserts help keep your ring snug without resizing.
Proper Storage: When not wearing your ring, store it in a cool, dry place to avoid warping.
