Just when we think we are getting away from the winter months we prepare ourselves for another cold storm front!!  The drastic change in temperatures are finding many newly engaged brides uncertain about what finger size to choose for their engagement ring. 

Here are a couple of pointers to keep in mind:

1.  Weight Loss:  Though this does not affect everyone, some brides that plan on losing a significant amount of weight will more than likely notice changes in their finger size.  If one is planning to add a wedding band onto the ring this will often times take away some of the "slack"

2.  Width of the ring:  A size 6 narrow band will fit more loosely on a finger compared to a size 6 wider ring.  Often time people have to go up a 1/4 to 1/2 a size for a wide ring to fit comfortably.  This is also a good tip to keep in mind if you are going to add a wedding band to it!

3:  Finger Fluctuation:  Though everyone is different, some peoples finger sizes are really affected water retention, exercise and hormone changes.  Try to become more aware of your hands throughout different times of the day before you make a decision on a ring size - this will help avoid future resizings!

4. The real truth:  There are just some days that your ring fits tight and other days it just may feel too big....... but the main objective is to fit a happy medium where you will be able to wear your ring comfortably 98% of the time!!
