Choosing a ring

When it comes to choosing our own jewelry we can be very picky as well as

we can be very impulsive buyers. I would like to give you some advice

about choosing your rings. When I help out my customers in person I get to

really direct them into jewelry that fits for them individually. What I

mean by that, is that many people only look at the jewelry without taking

in consideration their hands, fingers & comfort. When choosing a ring of

course we want the ring to look good but will it look good on our specific

type of hands? It's just like clothing, it may look great on the models

but maybe not so much on you. Look at your hands, are they wide or narrow,

are your fingers short, long, thin...

If you have big hands you must get a solid ring because chances are your

hands are strong & you use them accordingly & you don't want the band to

brake. Also don't choose something too tiny it will look out of

proportions. Wide bands can fit you but not too wide, go for about half an

inch wide. You are one of the lucky people who can wear very large stones

so don't miss out on that!

If you have small thin hands you probably already know that rings which

are too massive & heavy aren't meant for you. Go for filigree or Celtic

designs they will be much more comfortable & will suit you best. Wide

bands can suit you as long as they are not too wide & keeps you from

closing your hands completely so if you buy online & don't get to actually

try it on before buying verify the width.

Wide bands are very hot right now, but they aren't meant for everyone.

Long slim fingers suit them best. Actually most rings will suit you best

but not too narrow, stick with about a quarter inch and more width in the

front.

Short chubby fingers sorry for you but you should avoid wide bands, you

wont be comfortable & it will end up in a jewelry box. If you have short

fingers choose a thinner band with the front part small to medium size. If

you really want to go with a wide band well choose one that tapers down in

the back to about a quarter of an inch or less. Try a colorful stone that

will catch the eye or maybe a cameo ring.

I hope these advises will help you find rings that better suit you & that

it will have you purchase the right ones. After all when we love a ring,

that it looks great on your hand & it is comfortable it often ends up

being a real treasure.
