Wedding rings are ranked amongst the most precious gifts. Besides the change of your relationship status, wedding rings bear a strong sense of value and thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, with time, your wedding band can stop fitting snugly around your finger, making it difficult for you to wear it. Whether your wedding ring has become too tight or too loose, you can resize it to the perfect fit.
Does Your Ring Need to Be Resized?
Rings come in sizes and just like the body, the shape and size of your fingers can change with time. Ideally, your engagement or wedding ring should slip into your finger easily and fit snugly but comfortably. The following are some indicators that your ring needs to be resized:-
- If it is too snug, then you will need to enlarge it.
- If it cannot fit beyond the knuckles, it needs to be enlarged.
- If it keeps on rotating around the finger, it should be reduced in size
- If it slips off your finger without the slightest resistance, you should have it decreased in size.
