How to Size a Wedding Band
At the altar, exchanging your vows is the wrong time to find out that you and your fiance's wedding bands do not fit properly. Wedding bands can be purchased in a brick and mortar store or from an online or other catalog store. At a brick and mortar location, the jeweler will size your finger for you to ensure a proper fit. However, online or catalog stores will require you to size your own finger to ensure proper fit. Does this Spark an idea?

Obtain a ring sizing band. If you go to a brick and mortar store, the jeweler will use a professional set and tell you your size. Most online or catalog stores will mail you a plastic set similar to the professional sizer a jeweler uses, or have you print of a measurement band for you to use.

Slip the ring sizer over your ring finger. If you are using a paper sizer, loop it over your finger and tighten the sizer until it feels comfortable on your finger. A plastic or metal sizer works differently than a paper sizer. A plastic or metal ring sizer will have numerous ring loops that you will have to slip over your finger one at a time until you find the one that fits your finger properly.

Write down your ring size. No matter which method you are using to size your finger the sizer will clearly indicate the size. When placing you ring order make sure that you indicate the correct size, even half of a difference in ring size can make the band too big or small for your finger.

Tips & Warnings
Even if you size your finger yourself, you can still go into a brick and mortar store and get the jeweler to size your finger for you. You can ask to try on rings in the size you believe you are to ensure a proper fit.
Look at the size of any current rings you own that fit you comfortably.
Measure twice, purchase once. Go to more than one place to get measured to ensure you have the proper size.
Thicker bands fit fingers differently than a thinner band. If you are looking to purchase a thicker band, make sure you use a thick band sizer to ensure the proper fitting.
