Rings can be worn in many ways depending on the look you want, the size of the ring, and what you are wearing today. You can learn basic style guidelines for wearing the right ring.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Ring Size
Step 1. Use a ring gauge to get the right ring size
Ring gauges are plastic sheets of different sizes, which you just have to stick your finger in to find the right size. This item is available at any jewelry store for measuring rings.
The ring should fit snugly and comfortably on your finger. The ring should be narrow enough to stay in place, but loose enough to slip off the knuckle
Step 2. Measure your finger in the evening and when your finger is warm
Finger size changes subtly depending on the time of day, the weather, and the activities you've been doing. Fingers are smaller in the morning and when the air is cold.
- Try measuring your finger several times at different times to make sure your ring size is accurate.
- Do not use a string or tape measure to measure finger size. The results can be very inaccurate, and cause the rings to not fit properly.
Step 3. Find your size
The following measurements are the width of your finger. If after wearing your ring gauge you feel comfortable between two sizes, always choose the larger size. This helps ensure your ring has extra space and fits comfortably. The most common size for women is 6, while the most common size for men is 9.
- Size 5 - 15, 7mm
- Size 6 - 16.5mm
- Size 7 - 17, 3mm
- Size 8 - 18, 2mm
- Size 9 - 18, 9mm
- Size 10 - 19, 8mm
- Size 11 - 20, 6mm
- Size 12 - 21, 3mm
- Size 13 - 22.2mm
Step 4. Consider adjusting the ring size if it doesn't fit
Most ring sizes can be changed by a jeweler, if your ring has become narrow over time. If you go back to where you bought the ring, they often do it for free.
Milgrain ring sizes and some other types of Tungsten rings are usually irreversible
Part 2 of 3: Picking Fingers
Step 1. Wear rings on both hands
In Western countries, it is customary for wedding and engagement rings to be worn on the left hand, but some Eastern Orthodox people prefer to wear a wedding ring on the right hand. However, most rings can be worn on both hands and the symbolism of the placement of the rings is increasingly flexible.
According to some, the right hand represents an active hand, symbolizing work and activity, while the left hand represents emotions, beliefs, and character
Step 2. Put a style ring on your pinky
In astrology and palmistry, the little finger is considered to represent a persuasive and convincing character, but it is also the free finger which makes stylish rings look attractive. Sometimes, the ring on the little finger looks beautiful and fun, especially the wide band ring.
Step 3. Wear a smaller ring on the middle finger
Usually rings are rarely worn on the middle finger because they often interfere with your ability to use your hands. If you choose to wear a ring on your middle finger, make sure it is small and thin.
For some people, wearing a ring on the middle finger is a problem because it symbolizes an impolite gesture. So, drawing attention to the middle finger is not very fun for some people
Step 4. Wear wedding and engagement rings on the ring finger
In most western countries, wedding rings and engagement rings are usually worn on the third finger, or ring finger. Usually, worn on the left finger. If you're worried about giving the wrong impression, but you enjoy wearing a ring on your ring finger, wear it on your right hand.
Step 5. Wear a large, striking ring on your index finger or thumb
The index finger and thumb are very comfortable places to wear the ring. Usually, royal symbols and other large stones are worn on the index finger to attract people's attention. Wearing a ring on this finger can be very eye-catching. In some cultures, this is considered a sign of wealth.
Part 3 of 3: Wearing the Ring
Step 1. Match the ring with your outfit
Use rings to highlight the color scheme and formality of your outfit. Also, wear a ring that matches your necklace, bracelet, earrings, or other jewelry.
- For example, if you're wearing a silver necklace and earrings, don't wear all gold rings.
- Decide on the right ring based on how casual you are, what other pieces of jewelry you wear, and how the rings match.
Step 2. Wear a stylish or cocktail ring as a formal feature
A ring like this is bigger and bolder than the usual ring. It is meant to be worn alone, not combined with other rings.
Wedding or engagement rings often seem "formal," but most fashioners agree that they can be worn with other rings. Most rings with precious stones are prepared for stylish occasions
Step 3. Wear a simple ring as a complement to other accessories
This stylish ring tends to be casual, but can also be considered formal. Always appropriate, these rings are simple or made of metal with embellishments. This ring can also be worn with other rings on the same hand.
Step 4. Stack some similar styled rings
Stacked rings is a new mode where multiple rings are stacked on the same finger to create a multiple effect. Precious stone rings should not be paired with rings on other fingers, while casual rings are appropriate.
Step 5. Leave some space between the fingers
Don't wear too many rings at once, or wear too many rings on one hand. Balance them evenly so that you are not wearing three rings on one hand but empty on the other.
- Also, give your fingers room. If you don't normally wear rings, try wearing only one for a while as a small accessory.
- If you opt for a minimal style ring, you can stack multiple rings on both hands without going overboard. For example, a simple silver ring next to a small silver ring worn on the first knuckle would look stylish.
Step 6. Balance the larger ring with other accessories
If you want to wear a larger ring, such as a cocktail ring, balance it by choosing a flashy accessory, either wear it alone or pair it with simpler, more subtle jewelry.
Mixing different metals is acceptable, but it's much safer to use only two types. Wearing a gold ring, rose gold, silver, and metal ring at the same time will look a little messy
Step 7. Choose a ring that fits your personal style
If you're interested in dramatic fashion, go for something bigger and catchy. If you are more minimalist and like straight lines, choose a smaller, softer ring. There's nothing wrong with wearing a ring.
Tips
- Buy a ring that is comfortable for you and can be worn with anything.
- Instead of buying a really cheap ring, buy a ring that you can wear more than once. Have fun with your own style.
