Men's ring: How to find the right one?
Men are often left in the lurch when looking for information on the rings that are meant for them and that they would like to wear. However, 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 men's rings in gold or silver. The diamond ring for men is also making a notable breakthrough in the ring market, a market usually reserved for women. Here are some essential points to consider when purchasing a men's ring.
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 men's wedding ring or a men's signet ring for example, the ring size is obtained by calculating the internal diameter of a ring already worn or by measuring the circumference of the finger. To get your measurement right, check out this article on “How to choose the right ring size” . There is a correspondence table which associates circumference and diameter with the finger size used in all jewelry stores in Quebec and Canada . Avoid virtual ring sizers and instead use those offered by certain jewelry stores. You can order a ring sizer here .
How to find the right ring for men
A person's body shape, daily activities and tastes will dictate the type of men's ring they need. A person can certainly deviate from established standards but here, in summary, are some guidelines to follow.
Measuring the height… of the man
- A person of short stature, narrow build and thin fingers usually opts for a thin bangle not exceeding more than 4 mm in width. However, if this person has long fingers, they can choose a men's ring up to 5 mm while ensuring that it is comfortable when worn.
- An average-sized person with proportional fingers can easily wear a men's ring measuring up to 8mm. Rods less than 3 mm are not recommended since they will appear lacking in size.
- A tall and/or strong person should absolutely avoid men's rings less than 7 mm. His hands will completely erase the effect of the bangle on his finger.
A ring for every day
- Manual trades are hard on men's rings, but there is a way to get around the risk of them becoming damaged too quickly. You should avoid polished and brushed surfaces and move towards textured and already uneven 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 the world like to display their jewelry during major events. Jewelry and sport can go well together. However, you must ensure that men's rings fit well to avoid losing them during physical activity. Silver jewelry tends to oxidize when in contact with sweat. You should instead opt for a gold ring for men that does not oxidize.
- Many men will only wear one ring in their life; the wedding ring for men. Even if the investment may seem significant at the time, we must choose a ring that corresponds to our size and our taste. There is a way to save money by recycling gold from jewelry that we do not wear through jewelry processing and the gold can be credited on our invoice. The monthly payment service is also offered in certain jewelry stores. This is the case at Flamme en rose jewelry .

A men's ring to suit his taste
- The ring is an expression of one's identity. Some want classic models. Others are drawn to more modern, textured designs. Favorites exist but you don't always have to stop at a first fitting. Please note, if wearing a men's ring is new to you, the feeling of discomfort disappears during the first few days.
- Cheap plated rings should be avoided. 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 looking good than buying 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 their right hand, while waiting for the big day. If you are giving a gift, you need to 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 men's ring . You should avoid putting an engraving on it before trying on in case the ring requires resizing.
