What Size Ring Sells The Most?
When shopping for the perfect ring, whether it's an elegant engagement ring, a timeless wedding band, or a stunning anniversary ring, knowing the most popular ring sizes can be incredibly helpful. At Robinson's Jewelers, we understand that finding the right fit is just as important as choosing the perfect design. For women, the most commonly sold ring size is 6, with sizes 5 through 7 also being highly popular. Men, on the other hand, most frequently purchase size 9, with sizes 8 through 10 also being common choices.
Understanding these trends can help you make an informed decision, whether you're shopping for yourself or a loved one. In this guide, we'll explore why these sizes are so popular, how to determine the best fit, and what to do if you're unsure about sizing. Let's dive into the fascinating world of ring sizes and discover how to find the perfect match for any occasion.
Why Are Certain Ring Sizes More Popular?
The popularity of specific ring sizes is largely influenced by average finger sizes among men and women. For women, size 6 (16.5 mm diameter) is the most frequently purchased, as it fits the majority of average-sized fingers. Sizes 5, 6.5, and 7 are also common, accommodating slightly smaller or larger fingers. This range covers most women, making these sizes a safe bet when shopping for rings as gifts.
For men, size 9 (19 mm diameter) is the most popular, with sizes 8 through 10 also being widely purchased. Men's fingers tend to be larger, and this range accommodates the majority of average male finger sizes. Whether you're selecting a men's wedding band or a stylish signet ring, these sizes are a great starting point.
How to Determine the Right Ring Size
While knowing the most popular sizes is helpful, nothing beats an accurate measurement. Here are some tips to ensure you get the perfect fit:
1. Professional Sizing: Visit Robinson's Jewelers for a professional sizing. Our experts use precision tools to measure your finger accurately, ensuring your diamond ring or gold band fits perfectly.
2. At-Home Measurement: If you can't visit us in person, use a printable ring sizer or a piece of string to measure the circumference of the finger. Compare this measurement to a ring size chart for accuracy.
3. Borrow a Ring: If you're shopping for someone else, borrow one of their existing rings (that fits the intended finger) and have it sized by a jeweler.
Remember, fingers can swell or shrink slightly due to temperature, time of day, or other factors, so it's best to measure at room temperature and later in the day when fingers are typically at their largest.
What If the Ring Doesn't Fit?
Don't worry if the ring isn't the perfect size initially. Most rings can be resized, especially gold rings and platinum rings. However, some styles, like eternity bands or rings with intricate designs, may be more challenging to resize. Always check with your jeweler about resizing options before purchasing.
At Robinson's Jewelers, we offer resizing services to ensure your ring fits comfortably and securely. Whether it's a halo ring or a simple solitaire ring, we can help adjust it to the perfect size.
Special Considerations for Engagement Rings
When shopping for an engagement ring, sizing becomes even more critical. Many proposers aim to surprise their partners, making it tricky to get the size right. Here are some tips:
1. Enlist Help: Ask a close friend or family member to discreetly find out the correct size.
2. Borrow a Ring: Use one of their existing rings (worn on the ring finger) as a reference.
3. Err on the Larger Side: It's easier to resize a ring down than up, so if you're unsure, choose a slightly larger size.
Once the proposal is complete, you can visit us for a professional sizing to ensure the engagement ring fits perfectly.
Trends in Ring Sizes
While sizes 6 for women and 9 for men remain the most popular, we've noticed some interesting trends in recent years. Stackable rings, like our stackable rings collection, have grown in popularity, allowing wearers to mix and match sizes for a customized look. Additionally, more men are embracing bold statement rings, sometimes opting for larger sizes to make an impact.
Whatever your style or size preference, Robinson's Jewelers has a stunning selection of rings to suit every taste. From classic eternity bands to modern toi et moi rings, we're here to help you find the perfect fit.
