Hi All,
After receiving a lot of great advice from Pricescopers on buying a diamond and an engagement ring, I''m back for some advice for buying a ring for myself now that I''m officially engaged.
I''m currently trying to figure out the appropriate size for a wedding band. I want to balance tightness in the summer with looseness in the winter, so its comfortable all year round in all conditions. Right now, its frigid in good ol'' Canada. After being outside in the cold, I can fit a 5.5 on my finger a little tightly, but not too tight (I got plastic sizing rings from e-weddingbands, and yes, I know I have small hands!). Size 6 is comfortable, and I can fit a size 6.5 without it coming off my finger, but its a little loose (my knuckle prevents it from moving until I push on it from the bottom to remove it).
Under normal indoor conditions, 5.5 is uncomfortably tight, 6 seems decent, and 6.5 also seems decent, but slightly looser.
To try and figure out what my finger size would be like in the summer, I tried on the sizing rings after I woke up and took a hot shower. The results: 5.5 doesn''t fit, 6 fits, but relatively tightly, and 6.5 fits comfortably.
I will be purchasing a 5 mm wide plain platinum band in comfort fit.
So, all that being said (and with the fact that comfort fit slides on and off easier), what would you purchase if you were in my condition? I''m leaning towards 6.25, but 6 may work better. I''m just not sure about how tight the ring is supposed to be. I know that 6.5 will not slip off my finger. Its just a matter of finding the size that doesn''t move around too much on me.
Help!
Thanks in advance
