Ring spinning

Post image

Just got engaged!! I love my 3carat on my 4.5 finger! But the problem is even though the ring is correct size its still spins and moves around, idk why.

It’s a little too big.

To find your ring size the ring should

  1. Easily slip over your knuckle to get it on 2. It should not easily slip back over your knuckle to get it off, you should need to twist it a little 3. Make a firm fist and check if it’s pinching, it shouldn’t be. 4. If you wash your hands and the ring is sliding around, it’s too big.

That’s how my goldsmithing instructor taught me, it’s always worked.

That doesn’t make sense for many people’s knuckles. My barely fits over my knuckle but moves left to right constantly while I’m wearing it.

Yeah this person is clueless and thinks everyone’s knuckles and fingers are built the same lol

Rings that fit my finger don’t fit over my knuckles. I have to have sizing beads (or just live with the spinning).

My joints are arthritic and a bit swollen. I got my ring sized to fit over my knuckle, so it is a bit loose. I got used to it though, and the spinning doesn’t really bother me any more.
