Speaker: What do I need to know about her finger size?

Ronnie Mervis: Well, it s going to be important in the end, that s not important in the beginning. Amazing thing about woman s fingers, and I guess that s the part of the women I know best, is that they re all pretty much of the same size. Our standard size is six-and-a-half and we find that with most women, irrespective whether they re tall or short, or fat or thin, most fingers are about to six-and-a-half or within a very narrow range from six-and-a-half. Most times if it s going to be less than six-and-a-half, it s not going to go more than one-and-a-half down to five and it was going to go up, it s not going to be more in one-and-a-half, I think the size is, which would go to on eight. So, between five and eight, centering around six-and-a-half, we have most fingers covered.

The standard sized ring, which is six-and-a-half can easily be reduced to a five or increased to an eight. Just like when you buy a pair of trousers at your departmental store that happens with your leg size right before you get in there, if everything else is right the leg size is adjusted. We do that too. Now, if you can get her finger size before you come in, great. Maybe you can steal her favorite ring for a day or so, make an excuse that there is a prong that has to be straightened or you re going to do her a favor and get it cleaned, sneak it off to your favorite jeweler that s us we hope, get it sized, and then you ve got it. Then we will go straight to size at the same time that we size the diamond. But if we don t have the finger size, it doesn t matter, because we just going to guess the six-and-a-half would be approximately right and if it s not we can do the fine adjustment after you ve given it to her.

We ll be close enough that she can wear it, and if it s too big she can wear it on a bigger finger, in the middle finger, if it s too small wear it in the baby finger. So, you can always get away with it for the moment, and then bring her in, we ll be glad to look at the ring, size of finger, and adjust the ring to the correct size. Again, not an issue to worry about.
