Additional Considerations
- Time of Day: Your finger size can change throughout the day, so it’s best to measure at different times4.
- Temperature: Finger size may vary in different temperatures, especially during summer months4.
- Comfort: A properly sized ring should be snug but not too tight. It shouldn’t spin freely or slide off when your hand is pointed downward6.
- Ring Style: Some vintage ring styles may have limitations on resizing, so it’s important to get as close to the correct size as possible.
Remember, while these methods can give you a good estimate, professional sizing by a jeweler is always the most accurate way to determine your vintage ring size.
