| Please Note! Ring sizing is NOT universal! Many couples have visited a local jeweler to have their ring size determined, only to discover later that a ring in that size is not a perfect fit. This may not be the fault of any particular party involved, just please be aware that there can be some variance in determining a proper ring size.
Many retail jewelry stores use metal ring sizing sets and they generally come in a narrow width for women and wider width for men. Most of these sizers are not rounded on the inside so the fit and feel of a comfort-fit style ring may be different from the feel of the sizers. And since wider rings fit more tightly than narrow rings, the width of the ring you choose can also be a big factor in how a ring fits and feels.
When determining the size of a ring, jewelers use the tool shown below, called a ring mandrel.

As shown on the sample above, we would determine the size of the lower ring to be a size 10, and the upper ring to be a size 6. While most jewelers will use the bottom or leading edge of the ring to determine the size, as we do, others may use the middle of the ring. They may also determine the size for a tapered ring or a comfort-fit ring in a slightly different manner than for a ring that is not comfort-fit. There are also slight variances between ring mandrels, even those that come from the same manufacturer.
Here at e-Wedding Bands, we have made great efforts to assure that all of our mandrels are calibrated to match so we deliver consistent ring sizes. We have also made every effort to consistently match the sizes of the plastic ring sizers we send out to help you determine your correct ring size.
We hope that when your e-Wedding Bands ring arrives it will be a great fit, but if not, we strive to make it as easy as possible to have the ring sized or exchanged for a good comfortable fit for your finger. We offer a 30-day window to exchange or size your ring so you can even wear it for a few days and see if you just need to get used to the feel of it.
