Between two ring sizes? How to choose the right fit
3 min read · True Vow Rings
Landing between two sizes is common. The short answer: size up. Here is why, and the few cases where you might not.
Why sizing up is usually right
Fingers swell in heat, after exercise and at the end of the day. A ring that is slightly roomy stays comfortable. A ring that is too tight is hard to wear and hard to take off.
Size up for wide bands
Bands of 6 mm or more cover more finger and feel tighter. With a bold 8 mm Polished Dome Tungsten Band or the Brushed Tungsten Band, choose the bigger size.
When the smaller size can work
If you have slim fingers and small knuckles, and you choose a slim band like the 3 mm Stacking Band, the smaller size may sit better without spinning.
Large knuckles
If the knuckle is much wider than the base of the finger, choose the size that passes over the knuckle. Check both measurements with our ring size guide.
