How to size your hands in winter for jewelry

Winter is a time for cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and festive jewelry. But if you’re not careful, the cold weather can also make your fingers shrink. This can lead to rings that are too tight in the summer or bracelets that are too loose.

To avoid any sizing mishaps, it’s important to know how to measure your hands in the winter. Here are a few tips:

• Measure your hands at the end of the day. Your fingers tend to swell throughout the day, so it’s best to measure them when they’re at their largest.
• Use a warm ruler. A cold ruler can constrict your fingers and give you an inaccurate measurement.
• Measure the widest part of your knuckle. This is the thickest part of your finger and the widest part of the ring will need to fit over it.
• Measure the circumference of your finger. This will give you the ring size in millimeters.
• If you’re between sizes. Rings can always be resized and it is easier to make them a little bigger rather than a little smaller. It’s more difficult to make a bracelet smaller.

If you’re not sure how to measure your hands or find your ring size, you can always visit a jeweler for assistance. They will be able to help you find the perfect fit for your jewelry, no matter what the season.

Here are a few additional tips for keeping your jewelry looking its best in the winter:

• Avoid wearing your jewelry when you’re washing your hands or doing dishes. The harsh chemicals in soaps and detergents can damage your jewelry.
• Take off your jewelry before you go to bed. This will help prevent it from getting tangled in your hair or bedding.
• Store your jewelry in a soft cloth pouch or jewelry box. This will help protect it from scratches and tarnishing. Zadok Gold send you a jewelry box and cleaning cloth to help take care of your jewelry.
