Choosing your engagement rings or wedding rings is a big decision for most couples, as these tokens of love and commitment will hopefully be worn for a very long time. With preparations under way for the big day, you would think that the wedding rings would be one of the most important items to arrange, yet they often get overlooked and left until quite late in the day to arrange. Because of limited choice of jewellery on the high street, much of which is mass produced and imported, many people looking for something a little bit different are turning to the internet to purchase their wedding rings. Some people are a still a little nervous about making a purchase on the internet, especially when it is something as important as a wedding ring. One of the biggest concerns is getting the ring size correct as many people, especially men, will not have worn a ring before. From past experience we know that people have made big mistakes when it comes to getting their ring size correct, from using bits of string or plastic to printing off scales from the internet onto bits of paper and wrapping around the finger. All of these methods are very inaccurate and should not be used. Worryingly, we have dealt with a growing number of customers who have been into high street jewellers to be measured and have been given the incorrect size. This has happened so frequently in the past that we can only presume that this is done deliberately because the retailer knows that they won't get a sale as the customer has admitted that they are going to buy their rings from the internet. To overcome these issues, we aim to make the ring sizing process easy for our customers and make it hassle free for them to purchase their dream wedding ring online. Since all our rings are made to order, if customers really are unsure about size we send out professional wide wedding ring sizers so that they have the opportunity of measuring their fingers in the comfort of their own home. This is important as having your finger measured just once is only a snapshot in time and that measurement could be as much as a whole size out since your fingers change shape throughout the day. Hands swell in the heat and your fingers are slightly larger in the afternoon. Cold weather makes your hands shrink and rings will become loose and could fall off and be lost if the ring is too big to start with. Love2have specialises in handcrafted jewellery with many of our ring designs being wider than those on the high street. The wider rings are becoming increasingly popular as wedding rings but you may need at least one size bigger if opting for a ring over 5 mm wide. As many of our custom designs cannot be resized it is doubly important right from the outset, to get the size correct. Our advice to those looking to purchase wedding rings from us, is don't add to the stress of the wedding preparations by leaving your rings until the last minute. Give us plenty of time to ensure sizing is correct so that we can get their ring made with time to spare.
