Seasons and ring sizes
Have you ever felt that your ring is looser or tighter than when you bought it?
Just as your physical condition changes with the seasons, your finger size also fluctuates.
summer
Heat and drop in air pressure cause blood vessels to expand, swelling occurs, and moisture in the hands makes the ring feel tight.
winter
Cold weather causes blood vessels to narrow, making your fingers thinner and your rings looser.
Also, as your hands dry out, they become less moist, making the ring more likely to move.
Because the body contains a lot of water, your ring size can easily change by about one size.
So how should you choose the size?
The best finger size is somewhere between summer and winter sizes, between spring and autumn, but there are times when you choose a ring in summer or winter.
When choosing a ring for summer
Choose the right size
When choosing a ring for winter
Choose a slightly looser size
I recommend it.
Also, some people choose a tighter size for rings that have a design that you don't want to shift from the front, which is common with engagement rings, and a looser size for rings that do not change design even when turned around, which is common with wedding rings.
The size will change throughout the day depending on swelling (swelling increases after the evening), so it's a good idea to take the time of day into consideration when trying clothes on.
Also, you may be tempted to choose a looser fit out of fear that you won't be able to take them off when trying them on, so please be careful about that as well.
