What Are Sizing Beads?

Here at James & Sons sizing beads are used during ring fittings to achieve a comfortable fit, prevent spinning, or serve as a temporary solution. The process involves assessing the fit, suggesting beads if slightly oversized, determining the size and number, soldering them inside the band, checking the fit, and making adjustments. Key considerations include comfort, design interference, and future removal options. Advantages include quick, inexpensive, and reversible adjustments with immediate improvement in fit.

How Should My Engagement Ring Fit?

Your engagement ring should feel a little snug going over your knuckle, but feel comfortable and slide with ease when in its proper place. Once on the finger, the ring should feel comfortable and slide easily. The ring should stay in place and not spin around your finger. Lastly, you should have approximately 2 seconds of resistance when sliding the ring off over the knuckle. Here is a checklist for checking the perfect fit.

- Does the ring feel snug going over the knuckle?

- Does the ring feel comfortable once it's on the finger?

- Does the ring stay in place and not spin around?

- Is there about 2 seconds of resistance when taking the ring off over the knuckle?

Finding My Perfect Ring Size

Ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for your ring involves more than just a quick measurement. Various factors can influence your ring size, and understanding these factors can save you from the hassle of resizing your ring in the future. When it comes to choosing the perfect ring, getting the right size is crucial. An ill-fitting ring can lead to discomfort or the possibility of losing it. Here are some helpful tips and methods for determining your ideal ring size:

Consider if your hands swell

Your fingers are not static in size. They can change throughout the day and across seasons. Factors like temperature, activity level, and even your diet can cause your fingers to swell or shrink.

- If you are between sizes, it is generally better to go up in size

- If you are concerned about your ring size fluctuating, you can ask your jeweler about adding sizing beads to the inside of the band

It is also super important to note that each of your fingers is unique in size. The ring finger on your dominant hand is often slightly larger than the one on your non-dominant hand. Make sure to measure the specific finger on which you intend to wear the ring. Most importantly, ensure to size the finger you want to wear your ring on.
