Ring Sizing Myths Debunked: How to Buy Wedding Bands

Shopping for wedding rings is an exciting journey, but it’s also filled with decisions that can make or break your perfect fit — literally. While choosing the design is essential, getting the size right is just as critical. 

However, several ring-sizing myths could lead you astray. Let’s bust these myths and guide you toward a comfortable, lasting fit with practical advice and insights from Love & Co.'s stunning wedding band collections.

Myth #1: “All fingers are the same size.” 

One of the most common misconceptions is that the size of your fingers is uniform. In reality, finger sizes can vary significantly even on the same hand, let alone between both hands. For instance, your dominant hand is often slightly larger due to increased muscle use.

Pro tip: Measure the specific finger you’ll wear the ring on, and avoid guessing based on other fingers or rings you already own.

Myth #2: “A snug fit is always the best fit.”

While a snug fit might feel secure, it doesn’t always mean it’s the right size. Fingers naturally expand and contract throughout the day due to factors like temperature and activity level. A wedding ring that feels perfect in the morning could feel tight by the evening or during hot weather.

Pro tip: Measure your finger at different times of the day and in varying temperatures to find a balanced size that feels comfortable all day long.

Myth #3: “You only need to measure once.”

Finger sizes can change over time due to factors like weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or even aging. Relying on a measurement taken years ago might not guarantee the same fit today.

Pro tip: Get your ring size measured professionally right before purchasing your wedding band for the most accurate and up-to-date result.

How to Know Your Ring Size?

When it comes to buying wedding bands, precision is everything. Here’s how to ensure you get the perfect size: 

1. Consult a Professional: Visit a jeweller like Love & Co. for an accurate measurement using a proper sizing tool. They can also guide you on ring adjustments and the best practices for ensuring a comfortable fit over time. Additionally, jewellers can provide you with a detailed ring sizing chart to help you understand standard sizes and how they correspond to your measurements.
2. Measure at the Right Time: Your fingers change size throughout the day due to temperature or activity. Aim to measure them in the late afternoon or evening when they’re at their largest for a more accurate fit. 
3. Consider Your Lifestyle: If you have an active lifestyle or work with your hands often, opt for a slightly looser fit to prevent discomfort. Your wedding rings should be easy to remove but not so loose that they slip off accidentally.
4. Test Different Widths: Wider bands can feel tighter than thinner ones, so always try on the actual style you’re considering. Ask the jeweller for recommendations based on the ring’s design and material.
5. Use a Ring Sizer at Home: If you’re shopping online, consider ordering a ring sizing kit to measure accurately at home. Ensure that you follow the instructions carefully to get the most precise result.
