BirthstonesWhen buying a gemstone ring, you need to know the person's ring size, how big a stone they like to wear, the shape of the stone they would like, and the type of stone that appeals to them. If you do not know someone's ring size, see if you can manage to borrow one of their rings. You can then measure it or have a jeweler measure it. Alternately, if you are using a ring sizer, be sure to use it at the end of the day when your hands are not cold to get the most accurate size. When measuring ring size, the sizer should easily slide over the knuckle. Feel free to use our Free Ring Sizer to measure yourself or your rings. Choosing the shape of a gemstone in a ring can be as enjoyable as picking out the type of gemstone. For long fingers, oval stones look very elegant. For shorter fingers, having a round or square ring looks just right. Always, the heart shaped ring is very special and tends to delight anyones hand. For gemstone rings, getting a durable stone is recommended as no matter how careful you are, it is likely to get banged at some point of time. Opal, though popular for rings, is not recommended unless the person is very careful as it is easily damaged. Be sure to remove gemstone rings before swimming, gardening, cleaning and applying make up. Keeping gemstones out of the sun when not being worn is recommended. A ring holder is great for storing rings when not in use.
