Wedding Ring Sizes

Choosing wedding rings is a happy occasion for any couple. After all, this marks the beginning of their new life as husband and wife. However, there are several factors for consideration to help you select the perfect wedding ring for you and your partner.

Knowing a few basics on the type of wedding ring that you want and having specifications in mind will make buying your wedding ring so much faster and a lot easier.

From the style and design of the ring to wedding ring sizes; knowing your preference and your actual ring size beforehand will make your ring shopping so much more enjoyable as well.

First, check your ring size. This will tremendously help if you are going to be doing your ring shopping online. You can use a strip of cardboard or hard paper, make a ring out of it and then put it around your ring finger.

Once you have secured the cardboard measurement, check the diameter and the circumference of the ring. You can use a tape measure to check the circumference and a regular ruler to measure the diameter.

After you’ve got all the needed measurements, you can check the actual ring size based on your given values. There are ring size guides and conversions that you can find online so this won’t be a problem.
