You might know your ring size from a favourite slim band. When trying a wider gold ring, check how that particular design feels. Its width determines how far it extends along your finger.
Look at the palm side
Ask for the band widths in millimetres, then try the rings in turn on the same finger. Check the underside as well as the top. Some designs have a broad face that narrows towards the palm.
See how your fingers move
Gently curl your hand around the handle of an empty bag. Feel where the edges meet the crease of your finger and whether the band rubs against its neighbour. If you usually wear a second ring alongside it, ask to try them together.
Record the design you tried
Check that the ring is comfortable to put on, wear and remove. Jot down its size, width and model code so the jeweller can find it again. A change of band width deserves another fitting.
