There are a few methods to figuring out your size.
You can you an existing ring you have, and convert it to the numbering standard of the chart listed below.
You can go by Diameter:
Diameter is the measurement across the inner width of a ring, going from one side to the other.
You’ll need:
- Tape measure or ruler
- A ring that fits you
Step 1:
Make sure the ring you’re using fits the finger you plan to wear it on.
Step 2: Using your ruler or tape measure, measure the widest points inside the ring from edge to edge.
If your ring is a different shape and is not circular, measure the shortest distance across.
Using the diameter measurement you’ve just found, consult the chart to see which size corresponds with your measurement.
| Diameter | US | UK | EU |
| 14 mm | 3 | f1/2 | 44 |
| 14.6 mm | 3.75 | h | 46 |
| 15.3 mm | 4.5 | h1/2 – i1/2 | 48 |
| 16 mm | 5 | j-k | 50 |
| 16.5 mm | 6 | l – l1/2 | 52 |
| 17.2 mm | 7 | m1/2 – n1/2 | 54 |
| 17.8 mm | 7.5 | o – p | 56 |
| 18.5 mm | 8.5 | p1/2 – q1/2 | 58 |
| 19 mm | 9 | r1/2 – s | 60 |
| 19.8 mm | 10 | t1/2 | 62 |
| 20.4 mm | 10.5 | v | 64 |
Helpful Sizing Tips:
When choosing your size:
Always choose the size of the largest finger on which you’ll be wearing the ring.
Stackables:
For a more comfortable fit, consider going one size up from your normal size.
Wide Shank:
If the ring has a wider shank, so we recommend going one size up from your normal size.
OR you can measure by circumference…
Circumference is the measurement around the base of the finger.
You’ll need:
- String or strip of paper
- Pen or marker
- Tape measure or ruler
Step 1: Wrap a string comfortably around the desired finger.
Step 2: With the pen or marker, mark the spot where the string or paper meets and feels comfortable.
Step 3: Lay the string or strip of paper on a flat surface and measure its length in millimetres. This number is your finger’s circumference.
Using the circumference you’ve just found, consult the chart to see which ring size corresponds with your measurement.
| Circumference | US | UK | EU |
| 44 mm | 3 | f1/2 | 44 |
| 46 mm | 3.75 | h | 46 |
| 48 mm | 4.5 | h1/2 – i1/2 | 48 |
| 50 mm | 5 | j-k | 50 |
| 52 mm | 6 | l – l1/2 | 52 |
| 54 mm | 7 | m1/2 – n1/2 | 54 |
| 56 mm | 7.5 | o – p | 56 |
| 58 mm | 8.5 | p1/2 – q1/2 | 58 |
| 60 mm | 9 | r1/2 – s | 60 |
