How to choose its ring size

How to choose its ring size?

Choosing the right ring size is an essential step. A ring must be worn clearly. She has to slip on her finger without a struggle, but stay in place without worry. This technical detail may seem simple, but it contributes to the comfort, harmony and daily pleasure of wearing its jewel.

At Atelier Almarose, we take this subject carefully. A well-adjusted ring is hardly noticeable. It becomes a part of self, natural and reassuring.

A question of comfort above all

We don't choose a size to tighten it, or to float it. We're looking for balance.
The ring must pass the phalange with a slight resistance, then settle in the hollow of the finger without unnecessarily turning.

A ring too tight becomes uncomfortable throughout the day.
A ring too wide rotates, slides, hangs and worries.

Comfort is the priority. The jewel must follow the body, not compel it.

Why this measure may vary

Finger sizes are different between the left and right hands. Moreover, our hands do not keep the same size throughout the day. They react to heat, cold, sport, fatigue, salt, emotion sometimes.
In the morning, the fingers are often more swollen.
In the evening, they can be relaxed or, on the contrary, slightly swollen depending on the day.

It is therefore ideal to measure at different times, in order to obtain a fair, stable and serene size.

How to measure ring size

Several methods exist, depending on your situation and preference.

If you already have a ring
Measure its inside diameter accurately. Every half-millimeter counts.
We can calculate the exact size from this measure.

If you don't have one
We send you a bagier or we receive you to the workshop for a professional take. Hand, morphology, desired ring width: all this influences choice.

In secret for a surprise?
It is possible to observe an existing ring discreetly, or to ask the help of a relative. A slight adjustment is always possible afterwards.

Influence of design on size

The width and shape of the ring influence the feeling.
A fine ring is forgotten and can be very faithful to its actual size.
A larger or textured ring sometimes requires an additional half-turn to stay comfortable. Each creation deserves its specific approach.

During the exchange, we guide you accurately.
Technicality does not replace listening, but it reinforces it.

Always possible adjustment

The tailor-made brings precious freedom: if your ring requires an adjustment, we make it carefully.
The perfect size is sometimes a path, not an immediate number.
We move carefully, so that your jewel becomes a second skin.

A measure that matches life

An engagement ring, a wedding ring, a talisman ring — each piece has its symbolism and use.
A ring intended for everyday use should favour the elegance of comfort.
A piece of character or special occasion can afford a more precise outfit.

In any case, we prefer what seems true to you.
A well-fitted ring is worn with confidence. She accompanies, without being noticed, otherwise by her intimate and personal presence.

We would be happy to help you determine your workshop ring size, or send you a bagier to start your creation smoothly.
