Hi all,
Hoping this should be my last thread asking for help. I've made a couple of threads and have gotten so much help from you all.
My question is regarding ring sizing. I am trying to keep it a 100% secret, and really have no way of finding out my GF's true ring size. I do however, have a good place to start. Last year I purchased her a 925 Tiffany & Co ring, which she wears on her right ring finger. I initially bought her a 4.5, but we ended up exchanging it for a 5 because she felt that it fit better. So naturally, I would assume that a 5 would be a good fit for her left ring finger as well, but I've read and heard from numerous people that your dominant hand (her right) is typically a half size or so larger, so now I'm thinking about going with a 4.5 - 4.75.
When the T&CO ring is on her finger, there seems to be some room and space between the ring and her finger. However, it seems to be pretty snug when she takes it off/puts it on over her knuckle area. With that being said, what "part" of the finger typically is larger on ones dominant hand? Is it the tissue/muscle area where the ring sits, or the knuckle/joint area?
I really want to get it right the first time, and do not want to have the ring resized. I am working with a jeweler in NYC who has told me that he would prefer no one but him touch the ring, so if I do need to get it resized after the fact, it would require a trip to NYC. Even so, I would prefer to only have it done once.
What would you guys recommend I do here? If I do go with the 5, and it ends up being a tad bit loose, how do you guys feel about inserts/sizing beads? Is this something that is typically done on cheaper/lower end rings, or are they typically acceptable on quality E-rings?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
