It should not spin freely, and you should feel a gentle tug when removing it &mdash; that resistance is what keeps it safe.<\/p>\n<h2>How snug is too snug?<\/h2>\n<p>The ring should not leave a deep, painful groove or make the finger throb. If it is difficult to remove or your finger marks up, size up slightly.<\/p>\n<h2>What if I am between two sizes?<\/h2>\n<p>Choose the larger size. Fingers swell in heat and later in the day, and a marginally loose ring is far more comfortable and safer than one that is too tight.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does my ring feel tighter in the evening?<\/h2>\n<p>Fingers naturally expand with warmth, activity, salt and time of day. Measuring late in the day gives the most reliable size. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/find-your-ring-size\/\">ring size guide<\/a> to measure at home.<\/p>\n<h2>Do wide bands fit differently?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. A wide band covers more of the finger and can feel tighter, so many people size up slightly for wider designs.
