Choosing average ring size when you have no idea of her finger size

Many buyers opt for an average ring size when they have no idea what size to buy. A mid-sized ring is easier to adjust from a midpoint. Choose a suitable style for adjustment. For example, an engagement ring with plain shoulders. In addition, choose a simple claw setting.

Size L equivalent in US finger size

The average finger size L lies close to a US size 6. Furthermore, Variations exist from one size chart to another. The above chart shows where size L falls in comparison to the US numerical size system.

Best engagement ring styles for guessing her finger size

If you’re like many guys, uncertain of the finger size, you should consider a style of engagement ring that can be sized. The most common engagement ring size might not be the perfect choice for you. For this reason, you should choose a style of ring easy to re-size. For example, a ring design with a plain band. In addition, choose a regular claw or prong setting. In other words, choose a design suitable for size adjustments. Also, don’t choose a thin band. Resizing a ring thins the band at the back. As a result, a thin band offer less metal to work with. In situations where the band is far too thin, we often remake rings either partially or fully.

Is it better to guess for engagement ring size larger or smaller?

Many guys opt for a size that they know will be larger than her finger. The reasoning here is that she’ll be able to wear the ring. Going too small means she’ll be less likely to get it past her knuckle. The chances are, if you really have no idea, it will need re-sizing. For this reason, we routinely do this at no further cost. We merely ask clients to cover the small return cost of the postage.

Is there such a thing as a normal finger size?

There is no such thing as ‘normal’ ring size. We are all built very differently. For example, so of us have short, fat, fingers. In contrast, others have long thin fingers. Some of our clients worry about big knuckles. Conversely, other clients struggle with small knuckles. In addition, temperate and body fluid affect ring size. Finger sizes change through the seasons. For example, many buyers experience loose fitting rings in Winter. Despite sizing tools, we strongly recommend checking your size with a professional jeweller. At the same time, try on rings and find a size comfortable for daily wear.

Extra-large ring sizes for women

Please note that some clients require a larger size to the maximum ring size on our website. After reading our ring size guide, arrange a professional jeweller to have your finger measured. After you find out your ring size, contact us for a plus-size personal quote. We measure ring size under the UK size system but happily work to other systems such as US finger sizing.

The Deficit, the Dollar, and the Ugly Truth

Retirement has become more complicated in today’s world. Traditional retirement safe havens aren’t what they once were. Dollars and Treasurys, mainstays of any retiree’s portfolio, have been dealt a blow that can diminish their power over time.

The U.S. budget deficit for fiscal 2020 was a massive $3.1 trillion.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, this year’s annual deficit alone is equal to 15% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product and is unrivaled by any previous deficit since World War II. This number even dwarfs the previous deficit record set during the Great Recession, which was $1.9 trillion in 2009.

Because this record deficit threatens both the strength of the dollar and of U.S. Treasury bonds, a potential problem emerges for retirees. Bonds are traditionally used in a portfolio to cushion against stock market volatility, but with these low yields, they may not be as strong as they once were.

Low bond yields are expected for years, and the dollar is buckling under the pressure.

Some portfolio holders look to high-quality corporate and municipal bonds for high rates of return. However, once you’re retired, these assets are vulnerable to stock market volatility. And the stock market is indeed volatile, having experienced dramatic drops and upshots last week based on news of the possibility of a new stimulus bill or partial stimulus. Both sides were stubborn to cooperate with the other’s proposals, and the passing of the bill is looking to be further and further away.

Now could be the perfect time to think of how well prepared your portfolio is for the effects of massive debt, low yields, and a weaker dollar.

Is this the perfect time to buy gold for your portfolio?

Stéphane Monier, chief investment officer at Swiss private banking company Lombard Odier, certainly thinks so. Talking to reporters from The Wall Street Journal, Monier explained, “In a world where many bonds’ real yields are negative, the fact that you have to pay to store gold doesn’t matter like it used to.”

Billionaire Jeffry Gundlach also was positive towards holding the precious metal. In a recent interview, Gundlach said, “I actually think owning 25% gold isn’t crazy right now.”

Gold and other precious metals could be poised to gain in this environment. Precious metals are commonly known as hedges against inflation, and they have benefited from towering government debt before. The current environment of low yields and massive debts could make gold an important choice to protect a retirement portfolio. What are you doing to protect your retirement?
