Does Your Engagement Ring Get Loose During Winter? Here Is What To Do

A funny thing happens when it gets cold outside – your finger shrinks!You know what this means? Your engagement ring will not fit so snug on your finger as it did earlier in the year. This also means a potentially loose engagement ring that can slip off your finger.The last thing you want to happen is have your engagement ring slip off your finger or misplace it.

MANY PEOPLE ASK, “SHOULD I RESIZE MY ENGAGEMENT RING?”

That depends on a number of factors. Resizing your engagement ring once winter happens may be an option if your finger shrinks significantly – to the point where you almost can’t wear it because it will fall off. Remember that if you do resize it, you also risk it becoming too tight once the weather gets warm and humid again.It’s a difficult situation for many people. But, it also brings up an important lesson when getting your finger size checked. While it’s always best to get your ring sized during the summer months, it’s just not feasible. So, if you are planning to buy an engagement ring in Toronto in the winter, keep in mind that her finger will expand.

  • Keep an eye on the rings she wears during the summer and during the winter. Are there some rings that she only wears during certain times of the year?
  • Keep in mind that if you are designing a custom ring, some features are not conducive to ring resizing
