1. General topics
The ring size is decisive for comfort. The new ring should be comfortable but not too loose. It also must not press on the finger. For this reason, your ring size must be determined as precisely as possible in advance. Please take note of the following:
Ring sizes can be both circumference measurements (inner circumference of the ring: 50, 57, 62 mm etc.) as well as diameter measurements (15.9, 18.1, 19.7 mm etc.). Rings from Niessing are described with circumference measurements. If you know your diameter measurement, you can easily determine the corresponding circumference measurement: Just multiply the diameter measurement by 3.1415 (pi).
2. Measuring the ring size
When measuring the ring size, please note that the width of a finger changes in response to the ambient temperature and other influences. In the evening, fingers are generally thicker than in the morning, and they are thinner on cool days than on warm ones.
