How Should Engagement Rings Fit?

Hello and welcome to another gem-filled post from Martin Busch Jewelers! Today, we're delving into a topic close to our hearts: finding the perfect fit for your engagement ring. Just like a match made in heaven, the right ring fit is essential for that symbol of love to feel just right. So, let's embark on this journey together, ensuring your ring is as comfortable and beautiful as your love story.

Understanding the Basics of Ring Sizing

Ring sizing can seem like a mystery, but it's actually quite simple once you know the basics. Engagement rings should fit snugly enough so they don't fall off, but not so tight that they cut off circulation. Here are some straightforward ways to determine your ring size:


  • Visit a Jeweler: For the most accurate measurement, drop by our store. We’d love to help you out!
  • DIY Methods: There are several at-home tricks, like using a string or a printable ring sizer. But remember, these are just rough estimates!

Factors That Affect How Your Ring Fits

Did you know that your finger size can change throughout the day? Here are some factors to consider:


  • Temperature: Fingers can swell in the heat and shrink in the cold.
  • Time of Day: Fingers are usually smaller in the morning.
  • Physical Activity: Exercise can make your fingers swell.

The Ideal Engagement Ring Fit

A well-fitting engagement ring should slide on with a little resistance and come off with some effort. It shouldn't be too tight or leave indentations. If you can shake your hand without the ring flying off, that's a good sign!

Special Considerations for Engagement Ring Designs

  • Band Width: Wider bands often need a bigger size.
  • Gemstone Settings: Certain settings can affect how a ring fits. Be sure to try on different styles.

Resizing Your Engagement Ring: When and How

If your ring doesn't fit perfectly, don't worry! Resizing is a common part of the ring journey. It’s best to resize if:


  • Your ring constantly slips off or is too tight.
  • There's been a significant change in your finger size.

Our skilled artisans at Martin Busch Jewelers can help with the resizing process, ensuring your ring’s integrity and beauty are maintained.
