Why is the Correct Ring Size Important? 

The correct ring size acts like the ideal match of love and fidelity in your relationship. When you plan to propose to your partner, be it through a proposal where you chase the sunrise or sunset, maybe a scavenger hunt in a library where your partner has to hunt down clues hidden in their favorite books, every detail of your proposal matters, like the perfect diamond shape, the metal color, maybe platinum or gold, or the design of the band

Likewise, the engagement ring size for women matters as well. The reason we are emphasizing the right ring size is that we know it can be tiring to run to your local jewelry store and get your ring resized multiple times. Also, if you don’t wear the ideal ring, it might result in swelling of your fingers, which would affect blood circulation. So, if you want to avoid that, we suggest that you go for the right ring size!
