1. Size Measurement

• Professional Tools: Use a ring sizer (mandrel) or visit a jeweler for accurate measurement.
• DIY Method:
  • Wrap paper/string around the base of your finger.
  • Mark the overlap, measure length, and match to a ring size chart (inner diameter ≈ length ÷ 3.14).
• Temperature Impact: Measure at room temperature; fingers shrink in cold and expand in heat.
• Dominant Hand: Sizes may differ between hands; measure the intended finger.
• Int’l Conversions: US/Canada (numerical), Europe (alphabetical), UK (letters). Verify with regional charts.

2. Care & Maintenance

• Material-Specific Care:
  • Precious Metals (Gold/Platinum): Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cloths.
  • Plated Rings (e.g., Rose Gold-Titanium Steel): Minimize water exposure; wipe gently to prevent fading.
• Avoid Chemicals: Remove during chores, swimming, or when applying lotions/perfumes.
• Storage: Keep in padded boxes or anti-tarnish pouches to prevent scratches.
• Activity Precautions: Remove during sports, gym, or manual work to avoid deformation.
• Inspection: Check prongs/stones every 6 months for looseness (critical for micro-pave settings).
• Professional Servicing: Schedule annual polishing for precious metals or damaged plating.
