The Top 10 Sizing Mistakes

1. "Eyeballing" Sizes

• The Fix: Always use a proper sizing tool or consult with a jeweler.

2. Ignoring Width

• The Fix: Remember, wider bands need a larger size.

3. Using String for Sizing

• The Fix: Strings can stretch, giving an inaccurate measurement. Use a proper sizing tool.

4. Forgetting the Knuckle

• The Fix: For rings, ensure the size you choose comfortably slides over the knuckle.

5. Neglecting Seasonal Changes

• The Fix: Be mindful of weather-related size changes, especially for rings.

6. Overlooking the Weight of Stones and Settings

• The Fix: Heavier stones can make a ring feel tighter; account for this in your sizing.

7. Assuming All Fingers Are the Same Size

• The Fix: Each finger can be a different size. Always size for the specific finger on which the ring will be worn.

8. Not Considering Activity Level

• The Fix: If you're active, opt for snugger fits and durable materials.

9. Disregarding the "Two-Finger Rule" for Bracelets

• The Fix: A proper fit allows two fingers to fit between the bracelet and the wrist.

10. Not Keeping Receipts for Gifts

• The Fix: Always get a gift receipt to allow for easy exchanges.
