I just bought this expensive ring for my 3rd finger. I went to the place to have it sized and we guessed a 6.5 . however the ring now that it was made and shipped to me is too small. it looks to tight
would 7 or 7.5 be better? is there much difference between the two , will 7.5 be too much
I have another ring for my 1st finger, same problem I bought it at a 7.0 it appears that 8.5 was the proper size for that finger
any suggestions? Im In Florida, the jeweler is in California. so I cant go in
local jewelers made the mistake when I got sized for the 1st finger and I thought it was a 7. So that doesnt work
In the warmer weather (or even if you overdo eating salt), your fingers may swell so you might be better going up a size (or half a size), hard to tell though from a distance though
If it's a thick band, it will alter the size versus a thin band. Most measuring rings are "thin" bands (shanks), and I'm assuming that the ring you ordered is a thick shank. I ordered a ring from another country, and my ring fingers measure at a 5 with thin shanks. The ring I ordered is thick, and as a result, a bit snug (if I've eaten a salty meal, forget about it - I skip wearing it that day, for comfort).
You can contact the jeweler and see if they'll do an exchange. If it's a standard piece, they likely will (if it's within their warranty time-limit). If it's a custom, you'll likely have to pay a fee. You could also try getting it stretched by a local jeweler so it's a bit more fitting/less uncomfortable. I've heard it's not cheap (cost will also depend on the metal, any settings, etc), but if the ring is worth it to you, I'd go for it.
How didn't it work? They slip a "sized" ring on and you keep trying until you find the one that works best. A wide band is harder to get on and off, so I'd go up 1/2 size. Weather can affect your fingers, too...if it's hot and humid, you may swell. On cold days, my rings spin around my fingers! In the summer, they don't budge!

Take it to a local jeweler and they will RESIZE it for you. To make it bigger they will cut it an add gold/platinum spacer. It did that with my platinum wedding band that I ordered online.

I don't understand. How does anyone make a mistake sizing your finger? A jeweler has tools to properly size a finger. There is no guessing involved.
Error in paperwork? Weight gain or loss? Water retention/expulsion? All of these things could result in an erroneous ring size being recorded.
