Do you know your ring size?

Size is paramount to finding the perfect ring. It needs to be exactly right so that it fits comfortably and is not at risk of slipping off and getting lost. A ring that is too tight can cause discomfort and circulation issues, while a ring that is too loose may slip off your finger and be easily lost.

It is essential to note that your finger size may change slightly due to temperature fluctuations, with fingers tending to swell in warmer weather and contract in cooler conditions.

In colder months, you may want a little more space between the ring and your finger, while a more snug fit may be suitable in the summer when fingers are larger.

The perfect sized ring is where you can gently twist the ring and ease it over your knuckle.

How to use a Ring Sizer

The only accurate way to find your ring size is to use a ring sizer. You can order one through us or you can go to your local jewellery shop to get your ring sized.

Slide the ring sizer over your finger and push it down over your knuckle so that you are effectively wearing a plastic ring sizer ring. Pull the ring sizer so that it is a snug fit. Make sure you can gently slide the ring sizer back over your knuckle. The ring sizer will display your size with an arrow pointing at it.

How to find a Comfortable Size and Fit

Most importantly, your ring needs to be comfortable to wear. You should be able to gently twist the ring over your knuckle so that it fits comfortably at the base of your finger.

The width of the band affects the way that the ring fits – with a wider band, you may prefer a slightly larger size.

Please note that individuals with tapered fingers (wider at the base and narrower at the knuckle) may need to find a balance between a size that fits comfortably over the knuckle without being too loose at the base.

Comfort fit rings

Comfort fit rings have a slightly rounded interior. Once you have worn a comfort ring, you won’t want to wear anything else. Comfort fit rings provide a more comfortable fit and are designed to slide on and off the finger more easily. Because they fit better, comfort fit rings are also less likely to cause irritation.

All of our rings at Newmanbands.com are comfort fit rings – because we know these are so much more comfortable for you.

Order a Free Ring Sizer

If you are not sure of your ring size, we can send you a free ring sizer. This is a plastic measuring tool that fits around your finger.

Simply select your ring and click on the box ‘select ring size and purchase’. You will see a scroll down option where the top choice is ‘I don’t know my ring size’. Click this option. We will then send a ring sizer in the post for you along with instructions on how to complete your order. Once you have confirmed your ring size, we will get your ring sent out to you.

If you find that the ring is either too loose or too tight, we do offer free exchanges. We will make sure that you find the perfect sized ring :)))

Other Ring Sizing Methods

The only accurate way to measure the size needed for your ring is by using a ring sizer. These are standard ring sizers and can be ordered with us.

Other (inaccurate methods) can be used but should not be relied on – these include the string method, the paper strip method, and a printable ring sizer. Please do not use these methods as they are very unreliable.

Our free plastic ring sizer is easy to use and provides quick, accurate measurements.

You can also visit a local jeweller, who will typically measure your finger for free using professional ring sizing tools.

You can read a more detailed guide on how to measure your ring size here.

Men’s Ring Widths – Should men wear thick or thin rings?

The width of the ring is completely transformative in terms of the style of your men’s ring. Our rings come in a range of widths including 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm.

Of course men can wear thick or thin bands, whichever is their preference.

4mm Men’s Rings

Rings measuring 4mm in width are sleek and neat. With understated elegance, the thinner band width can be more comfortable to wear, particularly if you are not used to or keen on the idea of wearing jewellery.

Despite being thinner, these bands are equally as strong and durable.

6mm Men’s Rings

Our most popular choice, our 6mm bands are a happy medium between the 4mm and 8mm ring widths for men.

8mm Men’s Rings

More substantial, the 8mm thicker men’s bands can be seen to have a more masculine appeal.

Hand Size and Ring Width

Hand size can effect which width you want to choose. Very generally, men with smaller hands are more likely to opt for the thinner width bands and men with larger hands are more likely to go for the thicker width bands.

Engraving your Ring

Looking to add heartfelt sentiment and meaning to your ring? A personalised ring can do that for you. Choose your own special engraving to make your ring a treasured keepsake for years to come.

Choose to add a name, date, initials or short message to be engraved onto the inside of your ring. Whether you are buying the ring for yourself, or as a gift, the personalised engraving will make that ring even more special and unique to you.

Rings for Sensitive Skin

Skin irritation, itchiness and redness is something that just needs to be avoided. Sensitive skin needs extra consideration when choosing your metal of your ring. Particular metals will irritate your skin much more than others – and some metals are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.

A hypoallergenic ring is one that has either a reduced or very low chance of causing skin irritation. People with sensitive skin should choose a ring made with a hypoallergenic metal.

Hypoallergenic metals include titanium, tungsten, silicone, palladium, platinum, high karat white gold, sterling silver, stainless steel, cobalt, niobium, and 18 karat yellow gold.

At Newmanbands, we have a wide range of titanium and tungsten rings that are both hypoallergenic metals.

Silicone rings are also an excellent alternative if you have sensitive skin. These are made from medical-grade silicone.

How to Clean your Men’s Ring

Regardless of the material, there are some general care tips that apply to all men’s rings. Avoid exposing your ring to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine or household cleaning products, which can damage or discolour the metal. When not being worn, store your ring in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and damage.

Cleaning your Men’s Ring Technique

Cleaning your titanium, tungsten, or ceramic men’s rings couldn’t be easier.  These materials are low-maintenance and can be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the surface. There is really nothing more to it – just a wipe every now and again with a soft cloth will do the job beautifully.

When to consult a professional jeweller

Consult a professional jeweller if your ring requires deep cleaning. They have the necessary tools and expertise to perform these services without damaging your ring.

What Does Wearing a Ring Say about a Man?

The meaning of a man’s ring is ultimately up to you to decide. Historically, rings were worn by men as a symbolism of power and status. Now, rings are worn as a symbol of love and commitment or can be a statement about your style and an expression of your personality.

Men’s Ring in History

Throughout history, rings have held significant cultural and symbolic meaning for men. They have been used as symbols of power, authority, and status, as well as tokens of love and commitment.

In keeping with equality, more men are wearing engagement rings as well as commitment rings such as promise and eternity rings.

In recent years, there has been a surge in the popularity and variety of men’s rings, with new materials and styles gaining attention.

Celebrity influence on men’s ring styles

Celebrities have a significant impact on fashion trends, and men’s rings are no exception. Many male celebrities and influencers have been spotted wearing alternative materials like tungsten, titanium, ceramic, and carbon fibre.

Actor Chris Hemsworth has been known to wear a tungsten wedding band, showcasing the durability and style of this alternative metal.

NBA star LeBron James has been seen wearing a titanium ring, highlighting the lightweight yet strong nature of this popular material.

Actor Orlando Bloom has worn a ceramic ring in the past, demonstrating the versatility and contemporary appeal of this unique material.

The influence of these celebrities has helped to bring attention to the stylish and functional benefits of alternative materials in men’s rings, encouraging more men to embrace these modern options in their jewellery choices.

Online vs. in-store shopping

Both online and in-store shopping have their pros and cons. In-store shopping allows you to try on rings and get a feel for the materials and styles.
