Title: “I Love My Ring! Does It Need to Be Resized?” – Join the Conversation
Hey everyone!
I hope you’re all having a sparkling day! 🌟 I wanted to share my engagement ring with you all because, let’s be honest, it deserves the spotlight. Just look at how beautiful it is! [Insert photo of the ring] Isn’t it incredible?
Now, onto a question that’s been on my mind: Does my ring need to be resized? It fits beautifully on my finger, but I’ve heard mixed opinions. Some say a perfect fit is essential for comfort and security, while others maintain that a little wiggle is perfectly normal.
Why Resizing Matters
-
Comfort is Key: If your ring is too tight or loose, it can lead to discomfort, especially when the weather changes or during certain activities. A correct fit allows for natural movement without constantly worrying about losing it.
-
Security First: You wouldn’t want your engagement ring slipping off while you’re washing your hands or enjoying a night out. A snug fit ensures it’s safe and sound on your finger.
-
Style Considerations: Sometimes, the look of the ring can be affected by its fit. A well-fitted ring showcases the design and gems in the best light, while an ill-fitted one may not have the same visual appeal.
How to Tell if Your Ring Needs Resizing
-
The Spin Test: Can you easily rotate your ring? While a little movement is fine, excessive spinning could indicate it’s too loose.
-
The Slide Test: If you can easily slide the ring off your finger with minimal effort, it’s likely time to consider a resize.
-
Seasonal Changes: We all know that our fingers can swell in warmer weather or after a salty meal. If you notice significant changes in fit with the seasons, a resize might help you enjoy your ring year-round.

Happy posting!
Absolutely. It should sit much lower on your finger. That can’t be comfortable.
Resize
Yes, it should fit a little lower on your finger. Also, when you get your wedding band the engagement ring will be even tighter once you have both on!
Yes it shouldn’t be pulling your skin in that much
Yeah this really needs to be resized. If your fingers swell it will be a huge issue and will need to be cut off. I work in health care and have seen rings needing to be cut off quite a few times. I always feel terrible when it needs done but your finger is more important.
It should be able to sit comfortably a log farther back from the knuckle.
It might need to be a little bigger especially if you are also going to wear a wedding band— but also keep in mind that your skin is going to adjust and form a little indent where your rings will sit. My finger is a 6.75 but I went with a 7 because with my three rings stacked together that is more comfy for me. With just my engagement ring though it’s pretty roomy.
Yes would absolutely resize. A jeweler can help you figure out your correct size. The ring should go down to the base of the finger and not show a lot of muffin top. If you plan to stack a wedding band with your engagement ring, that will make the fit even tighter.
Babe you need at least a half and possibly a whole size that’s barely past your knuckle. Both rings are absolutely gorgeous though and I am so happy for you both!

I have sausage fingers too. This is my work wedding band. I do have an actual wedding set but shouldn’t wear it to work for sanitation purposes. The stones can trap bacteria. I was worried the ring was too tight but I may always have a slight muffin top with this ring. The material can not be resized.
Yes. It’s lovely though.
It looks way too tight. I actually keep mind on the lower end because my hands swell in the summer. You can’t even get it down on your finger the way it should be properly sitting, let alone the accommodation you need for things like hands swelling in the heat, gaining weight, a potential baby.
Better to have some breathing room. A tight ring can be dangerous.
Yes. Your ring is too tight regardless of seasons. It should be snug but sit lower on your finger.
I would resize it. It should be further back and fingers swell at overnight.
I’m so confused on the comments saying to hold off on resizing. It’s literally at your knuckle, it’s supposed to be like an inch below that lol.
I agree with getting used to wearing it first. I have a weird shaped ring finger that’s only chunky above where my ring sits. When my fingers swell, I have a little muffin top on the ring. But when it’s cold out and my fingers deswell (is there actually a word for this?) my ring will spin a little because it’s loose. If I sized up, I would worry about it falling off on cold days.
I’m no expert but I would probably hold off resizing until I got used to wearing it and have had time for any possible problems to surface. If you’re on holiday and being more active, also your finger might be a little more swollen than in day to day. I think some bulge is normal but idk to what extent. Probably slightly different for everyone? If it’s comfortable and secure, that’s most important I would think but open to being wrong.
Edited cos I’m too solution-focused and forgot to say the most important thing I was thinking: congratulations to you both! Beaut rings ❤️
Simultaneous proposals?! What a dream! I love the matching manicures too! Too sweet.
My initial thought is that you’d probably want to resize a bit? Especially as your hand may swell a bit in summer, naturally with use, etc.
My advice would be to consult a jeweler! They should know how to proceed, and can address your concerns!
Congratulations!!
