Finding your Ring Size
One of the most common questions we encounter when we talk about rings is “how do I know my finger size?”. We are happy to help you figure out the right ring size, or send you a ring sizing kit anywhere in the US.
Helpful hints
- Measure more than once as finger size can vary with diet, exercise, time of day, and temperature - from 1/4 to 1/2 size.
- For a wider band, size up! Wide rings feel tighter, so you want to go up between ½ and 1 size!
- For delicate solitaires, size down to avoid spinning
- The profile of the ring will also effect the size your wear. A ring that is flat inside will feel tighter than a ring that is domed or curved inside.
How to measure your ring size:
Measure the circumference
Ring sizes are determined by a numerical scale based on the circumference of your finger. You can estimate size by measuring the circumference of your finger, using the chart here.
This is not a perfect method, but it will give you a general idea.
- Take a piece of string or a thin strip of paper.
- Wrap it around the base of your finger, making sure it can go over your knuckle!
- Mark the point where the string or paper meets and measure the length.
- Use a ring size chart to match the measurement to the corresponding ring size.
Use an existing ring
If you have a band that fits, you can download this chart. You will need to print it out and place it on a flat surface, making sure the edge of the band lays flat on the circle
