Ring Size Guide

Jewellers from all around the world use a standardised ring size chart with various EU, US, and other sizes. Our sizing is in US ring size. There are several different ways of determining your ring size. The most reliable method is of course paying a visit to your local jeweller and getting your ring professionally sized.

You could also determine it by measuring the inner diameter of a ring you already own and fits the finger on which you would like to wear the new ring. This method comes in handy when you are buying a ring for your loved one and do not want ruin the surprise.

To find out your ring size at home, you could measure with a measuring tape. If you don't have a clothing measuring tape a piece of string or dental floss will do, just wrap it around the base of the finger and measure it. If you are between sizes, the safest option would be to order up. Please make sure you do not wrap the measuring tape (or the string ) too tightly and consider the size of your knuckles, which are often the largest part of your finger.

Please keep in mind that the same fingers on the opposite hand may have a different ring size and measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be the largest.

When ordering a new ring, it is important you also consider the band’s design. Most of the simple gold bands can be resized but due to the design, that is not always possible. For example, rings with a textured of a full eternity band cannot be resized and require a remake. The same is true for some designs with gemstones if the size difference is too large. Bending the ring excessively could cause the prong setting to loosen up, which could result in stones falling out and getting lost.

Your ring size changes slightly over the course of the year as your finger might swell in warmer and shrink in colder weather. The change can also be noticeable throughout the day because the fingers tend to be thinner in the morning. This is important for rings that will be worn every day and for a longer period of time, which is why you should measure your ring at the end of the day and when your hands are warm.

For wider rings or sets of three stacked rings, ordering a slightly larger size is recommended (up to ½ US). Narrower rings allow the skin to move, however, 5mm and wider rings could feel a bit tight around the finger and leave a mark when you take them off.
