Often deceived by
excitement, when you purchase fine jewelry, the customers tend to overlook
important issues which concerning value, aesthetic merit, comfortable fit and
style compatibility. The “Precious Tips” series of articles are aimed to
provide practical inside information on such topics, thus arming the Spike
Knuckle Ring enthusiasts
with essential knowledge before they reach for their credit cards. The advice
given in these articles is not sale orientated and 100% customer supportive.
Take your time to get the size right. Keep in mind that your finger size
changes depending on whether your hands are cold or hot. Different fingers
change differently but it is an average of half size (UK standard).
There is little difference between two neighboring sizes, so when your jeweler
gives you the size set make sure you try few sizes up and down from the first
one that fits. Do this until you are really sure which one feels best. Don’t
ask the jeweler to take your finger size – do it yourself. No one else can feel
the ring on your finger for you. If you are in doubt, consider the weather. In
hot weather your finger swells, so choose the tighter fit and vice versa. Bear
in mind that it is easier and safer to most designs to be resized up rather
than down. Resized piece however, is never the same, especially when it
contents pave or channel set small stones. Reducing such a ring even one size
is likely to loosen the setting and cause problems. Delicate cool punk rivet
rings, wedding bands and bangles are usually work hardened after the
last hot operation, especially items in palladium white gold .This very
important for the strength of the piece procedure is annulled, if the piece is
heated again in the process of resizing. If the piece contents an important,
expensive stone then the resizing becomes really problematic.
The conical armor finger
ring is very much one size fits all scenarios. Because of almost non
pronounced knuckle up to 4 consecutive ring sizes feel comfortable. The problem
is: this type of finger is not safe for heavy designs, which can easy slip off
or fly away with sudden move of the hand. I will recommend lighter designs or
use of full or half spring. The big knuckles require fairly large size ring to
pass trough and end up on the following thinner part of the finger where it is
hopelessly loose. The full spring is the best solution of this problem.
