what you are about to see are done by experts and they have
gone thru S.H.I.T.* and the followings should not be attempted by
anyone, anytime, anywhere & anyhow.
she does not wear a ring and i used this cheat-sheet to
measure her ring size while she was taking a nap.
bear in mind that when i printed it, it is up to scale with
those measurements. and i do not practise giving someone
de promise ring as what my co-workers do.
so.....i went online and buy an engagement ring. smartass i am!!
well, they have this education website on everything from
how to buy a diamond to ring size. besides, a lot of the folks in
my office buy the engagement rings from this online store.
so...... i have never bought a ring before and here i am. i am
keying my credit card number and ah....this is so exciting.
smartass i am!!
finally, i hit ENTER.
after a few days, i got it.
size3.
i proposed to her on her birthday and she said YES.
to make a long story short, the ring would not fit!!
it won't even go all the way in. i was like.... OK.
let me call them to resize.
so, we finally sat down and measure again and this time,
size 4.5. i called them up and rearranged for a resize and
courier to them.
a few days later, i got it. this time, i was very anxious and
excited since this will fit. later that nite, i brought it to her and
by golly, it was.... a little too loose!! i was like.... What The!!
size 4.5
Now what???
later, i found out that, in the winter, the body tends to shrink.
that means the fingers will shrink a little too. and it's vice-versa
in the summer.
OK.
Now what???
ahh....... :P
after going thru the education website, i can conclude that, in my
personal opinion, this is my order of preference.
Cut & Clarity (most important)
Color (2nd priority)
Carat (the final decision -- how big is the stone)
i hope she likes it.
moral of the story.
go to a local jewelry to get the right size. a good fitting is important.
S.H.I.T.* -- Special High Intensive Training
btw, the stone is actually not that big as what u see.
it's optical illusion ok.
