Method 1: Measure an Existing Ring
TRACE THE RING
Place a well-fitting ring on a piece of paper and trace the inner circumference, being as precise as possible.
MEASURE THE DIAMETER
Measure the diameter of the traced circle, using a ruler. Again, be as precise as possible.
REFER TO THE CHART
Refer to the conversion chart provided to find your UK and US ring size based on the measured diameter.
Method 2: Measure Your Finger
PREPARE YOUR TOOLS
Wrap a string, ribbon, or paper strip around the base of your finger. Make sure it is snug but not too tight.
MARK THE FIT
Mark the point where the string or paper overlaps with a pen or pencil.
MEASURE
Remove the string or paper strip and measure the length between the marked points using a ruler. Use the conversion chart above to determine your UK and US ring sizes based on the measured length.
Method 3: Use a Ring Sizer
OBTAIN A RING SIZER
Simply slide the individual rings onto your finger until you find one that fits snugly without feeling too tight.
MAKE A NOTE
Once you have identified the correct size on the ring sizer, take note of the corresponding numerical or letter-based size.
DOUBLE CHECK
It's always a good idea to double-check your size by trying on a few different rings to ensure consistency.
Method 4: Visit a Local Jeweller
Remember, getting an accurate ring size is crucial to ensure a comfortable fit and prevent the ring from slipping off or feeling too tight. If you're unsure about your measurements, it's always best to consult with a professional jeweller who can provide expert guidance and assistance.
Keep in mind that wider rings may require a slightly larger size for a comfortable fit. Additionally, fingers with more prominent knuckles or arthritis may need a larger size to slide the ring on and off easily.
EXPERT SIZING TIPS
Temperature Matters
Before you start measuring, ensure that your hands are at a normal temperature. Cold weather can cause your fingers to shrink slightly, while warm weather can cause them to swell.
Ideally, measure your ring size when your body temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. It's also important to note that ring sizes can vary depending on the time of day and other factors such as humidity, pregnancy etc.
Consider Band Width
Wide vintage bands fit tighter than delicate rings. If you are purchasing a ring with a wide band, we recommend ordering a half size up.
Antique Resizing
If you've already purchased a ring and later discover that it doesn't fit properly, don't panic. Many rings can be resized by a jeweller. It's important to note that certain ring designs, such as those with intricate patterns or stones, may have limitations when it comes to resizing.
