Men's ring : How to find the right one?
Men are often left out in the cold when it comes to finding information about the rings that are available. Yet, the market for men's rings is clearly growing. Watches and chains remain at the top of the list, but men also like to express themselves by wearing one or more rings for men in gold or silver. The diamond ring for men is also making a big splash in the ring market, a market usually reserved for women. Here are some key points to consider when buying a ring for men.
Finding the right ring size
Before ordering a ring online or buying one as a gift, you need to find the right ring size. Whether it is a wedding ring for men or a signet ring for men for example, the ring size is obtained by calculating the inner diameter of a ring already worn or by measuring the circumference of the finger. To get the right measurement, check out this article on "How to choose the right ring size".. You will find a correspondence table that associates circumference and diameter to the finger size used in all jewelry stores in Quebec and Canada. Avoid the virtual rings and use the ones offered by some jewelry stores. You can order a ring sizer here.
How to find the right ring for men
A person's body type, daily activities and tastes will dictate the type of men's ring he needs. A person can certainly deviate from the established standards but here are, in summary, some lines to follow.
Measuring the ring size.
- A short, narrow-fingered person with slender fingers usually opts for a slim band not exceeding 4 mm of width. However, if this person has long fingers, he or she can choose a men's ring up to 5 mm and still be comfortable.
- An average sized person with proportional fingers can easily wear a men's ring up to 8 mm. Rings smaller than 3 mm are not recommended as they will appear to have no scale.
- A large and/or tall person should definitely avoid men's rings smaller than 7 mm. His hands will completely erase the effect of band on his finger.
An everyday ring for men
- Manual trades are hard on men's rings, but there is a way around the risk of them getting damaged too quickly. Avoid polished and brushed surfaces and go for textured and already rough surfaces like the famous Les Aventuriers collection. Precious stones, even if set in the mass, should be avoided.
- It is known that the great sportsmen of this world like to display their jewels during the big meetings. Jewelry and sports can go hand in hand. However, it is important to make sure that men's rings fit properly to avoid losing them during physical activity. Silver jewelry tends to oxidize when in contact with sweat. Instead, opt for a gold ring for men that does not oxidize.
- Many men will only wear one ring in their lives; the men's wedding ring. Although the investment may seem large at the time, it is important to choose a ring that fits your size and taste. There are ways to save money by recycling gold from unworn jewelry through jewelry remodeling and the gold can be credited to our bill. The monthly payment service is also offered in some jewelry stores. This is the case at Flamme en rose.

A man's ring to suit his taste
- The ring is an expression of his identity. Some desire classic designs. Others are attracted to more modern and textured models. There are many reasons to fall in love with a ring, but you shouldn't always stop at a first try. Note that if wearing a man's ring is new to you, the feeling of discomfort disappears during the first few days.
- Avoid cheap plated rings. They will be beautiful and well polished the first few days but will quickly lose their luster. It will cost more in the long run to keep it beautiful than to buy a gold one from the start.
- The promise ring for men or engagement ring is not a practice reserved only for women. Men can also wear it, preferably on the ring finger of the right hand, while waiting for the big day. If it is a gift that you are giving, you must make sure of two very important things: You need to know your preference between 925 sterling silver , white gold, yellow gold or rose gold and make sure you know how to measure the size of a man's ring. You should avoid engraving the ring before trying it on in case the ring needs to be set Size.
