How To Make Sure the Engagement Ring Fits as It Should?

Buying a wedding band or engagement ring online is both easy and economical. But more importantly, it means you can calmly compare the many shapes, colours and types of diamonds without drawing attention from prying eyes. White gold or platinum? Round, oval or square? You have all the time in the world to turn the options over in your mind.

Whatever your taste, in BAUNAT's webshop, you'll find the perfect ring in no time at all. But how can you make sure that it will also fit like it should?

How can you ensure the perfect fit when buying an engagement ring online?

While online ring shopping offers convenience and privacy for comparing diamond options, getting the right size is crucial. The European ring sizing system provides a straightforward measurement where the number represents the diameter in millimeters. For example, size 17 equals a 17mm diameter. The average woman's ring size falls between 16.5-17.4mm, while men typically measure around 20.5mm.

When uncertain about size, it's better to err on the larger side since resizing smaller is easier than expanding a ring. You can measure an existing ring that fits well, but remember that temperature affects ring size - fingers expand in heat and shrink in cold. For a surprise proposal, consider enlisting help from your partner's close friend to discreetly determine the correct size. BAUNAT offers expert guidance and customization options to ensure your chosen engagement ring fits perfectly.

Engagement Rings: Better Too Big Than Too Small

Making a ring smaller is a standard task, but making it bigger is a lot more complicated. If you're at all unsure of the width of your fiancée’s finger, it's better to go for the larger size than the smaller one. And if you're still stuck, try asking one of their best friends for help. They might be able to find out more easily and discreetly.
