For those delving into the world of wedding and engagement jewelry for the first time, establishing a baseline for price, style, material, and source is crucial. However, there's another important consideration: Will it actually fit your finger?
Ring sizing can often lead to confusion. A size 8 ring in the United States is an 18 in Germany, a 16 in Japan, and a Q in the United Kingdom. In all these places, it can be challenging for women to try on rings in stores because jewelers worldwide often don't keep a wide range of sizes in stock. And when it comes to plus sizes (usually categorized as U.S. size 10 and above for women), it's even harder to find a suitable fit. Modern Gents offers the full range of U.S. standard sizes, eliminating the need to consult a map or check inventory. However, unfortunately, more challenges in ring sizing may still lie ahead.
