I need to give my brother a ring size. So the day after he told me, I stopped into a jewelers after work and had my finger sized, and the size was 7½. A few days later, I’m at a friend’s house, and it turns out she also has a ring sizing kit. Same finger, but the size is now 6. I now don’t know what to tell him.
I know fingers tend to swell during the day, especially if, like me, you’re on a keyboard most of your work day. On the one hand, I don’t want the ring so small that I have trouble getting it off at night. On the other, I don’t want it so loose that it might fall off during the day before my finger swells up (and what a consideration to have!).
Does anyone with solid experience on choosing ring sizes have any advice? I don’t need the answer fast, but I do need it soonish.
