Mens Titanium Wedding Bands Fit

When buying mens titanium wedding bands, you may wonder about the design, the gemstone, the setting and maybe even the color of the ring band. But one of the things that you must think about, but often miss is the ring size of the wedding band.

But luckily, if you’re buying mens titanium wedding bands for yourself, there are a whole range of simple tools which you can use to help yourself know your finger size. Some of these tools are available online; others are readily available at your local jeweller.

Here’s how you can measure your own finger size for getting a right fit on your mens titanium wedding bands.

Ring Size Chart

Ring size charts are tables or picture diagrams that allow you to compare your finger size to the chart for a rough sizing. The sizes are usually named with alphabets or numerical notation, so by comparing with the chart, you can approximate a ring size for yourself.

However, you should note that ring size chart standards vary from company to company, especially among companies from different countries. So don’t count on one ring chart to get you the correct ring size at your local jeweller. The best way to use a ring chart is to use one that came from the jeweller that you want to buy from.

Furthermore, ring size charts provide only a rough figure. It’s a good place to start when looking for the right ring fit, but it is definitely not the final step to getting a proper fit.

Finger Size Strip

Finger size strips are readily available online as printed diagrams which you can cut out for wrapping around your finger. Using the diagram, you can get the circumference of your finger. Do some simple mathematics and you will get the diameter of your finger.

You don’t actually have to get an actual finger size strip to be able to do the measure. A piece of paper or string from your home will do nicely. But regardless if you’re using a makeshift finger size strip or a actual one from the jeweller, finger size measurements can be very difference depending on how tightly you wrap or where you wrap the strip on your finger.

Ring Mandrels

One of the best ways to get your new ring correctly sized is to use an existing ring you have as a standard for comparison. Go to your local jeweller with your existing ring and let him use it with a ring mandrel. Ring mandrels are tapered rods that jewellers use to slide a ring onto. The ring slides on the mandrel until it reaches a comfortable fit. The diameter of the mandrel at that point is then the diameter of your ring.

Ring mandrels are used by professional jewellers, so you can’t do this sizing yourself at home. But even among professionals, there are differing opinions on what a comfortable fit is. So it’s best that you have your fair share of input and let the jeweller know if you prefer a loose or tighter fit.

Ring Sizers

Ring sizers are sets of steel rings that come in various sizes and are used as standards for ring dimensions. This method is most commonly used because there is no need for existing rings, and it is much more reliable than other methods that measure the finger itself. This is because ring size is not the same as your finger size. Professionals can help you determine a suitable ring size by using ring sizers as standards for comparison.

No matter how accurate you measure your finger size or ring size. Your ring will not be the perfect fit all the time. We grow fatter or thinner as time goes by, so do our fingers. Our finger size even changes throughout the day depending on work activity and temperature.

A fool-proof way of making sure your ring does not fall off (not best fit) is to measure from the widest part of your finger, at the second knuckle of the finger and also the sitting position of your ring. Your ring band diameter should of course be wider than where it will sit on your finger, but smaller than the knuckle. In this way, you can be sure your ring sits on your finger and will not fall out of it.
