My husband lost his wedding ring so we got this one as a replacement. We followed the size guide and he should have purchased the 11 but he normally wears a 10. We ordered the 10 because an 11 seemed way too big for him. Even the 10 was swimming on his finger! We returned that one and got the next full size down, a 9. It was still too big, but not as bad as the other size. He decided to keep it for now even though it is loose.
