Swollen Hands? The Ring Sizing Puzzle.
Ladies, we've all been there – your finger feels a bit puffy, and suddenly your favorite ring has turned into a medieval torture device. We’ve all resorted to lotions and potions to try to get our rings off after a long day! The culprit? Swelling. Yes, it's not just for feet and ankles. Your fingers can swell too, causing your ring size to fluctuate. In fact, some people can fluctuate up to a whole ring size!
But don't worry, we're here to help! At Sami’s, we know that your ring needs to fit comfortably whether you're typing away at your keyboard or clinking glasses at happy hour. That's why we offer complimentary first-time ring sizing services on all rings purchased with us, to ensure your ring is the perfect fit. And even if you bought it elsewhere, we can help make sure your rings are just right!
So, what causes finger swelling? Well, it could be a number of things. Maybe you indulged in a little too much salty food last night or went a little too hard on the push-ups at the gym. Temperature changes can even affect ring size! Our hands tend to swell easily in the summer and shrink a bit in the winter. Or, maybe your fingers are just like the rest of your body and go through natural fluctuations throughout the day. Who knows, maybe they just want a little extra attention? Whatever the reason, we've got you covered.
Our experienced jewelers will take accurate measurements and consider factors that can cause swelling when resizing your ring. Let us know if you’ve been running errands or just got back from a hike, or even if you’ve been running your A/C on high! We might recommend coming back at different times of the day or after different activities to see just how much your size can change.
If you notice a particular ring often leaves you feeling a little "sausage-fingered" every time you wear it, don't fret! Just pop into our store, and we'll have your ring resized in no time. We want you to be able to rock that bling comfortably, even as your size fluctuates a bit. We can even add small “speed bumps” - extra pads of gold - to particularly stubborn rings, so you have extra stability while allowing more room for swelling. Now, if only there was a way to resize our skinny jeans after a big brunch...
