Ring Sizing

I would always recommend finding your ring size before placing an order and there are a few different ways you can do this. 

When wearing a ring you want it to sit nice and snug on the base of your finger, but to squeeze over your knuckle. I would suggest going slightly smaller than bigger, and remember your fingers swell in the heat and shrink in the cold. 

Getting your finger measured professionally 

Most local jewellers will do this for free, and it is the most accurate way of measuring your finger. The thickness of a band will affect the size, so make sure you let them know the thickness of band you like.

If you are based in Thanet please feel free to drop me a message and I will measure your finger for you. 

Order a Ring Sizer 

Ring sizers can be found fairly cheap online and are very handy. They work like a belt, form it into a ring shape and adjust it to a comfortable fit to find your ring size. For best results make sure your hands are a normal temperature as finger sizes can change in extremities. 

Measuring a ring to find it's size

If you already have rings that fit your fingers perfectly and you'd like to know their size there are a few handy apps you can download to measure them. I would recommend trying the free app 'Jason Withers Ring Sizing app'. It will ask you to place your ring on your phone and you will need to adjust the circle to sit inside of the ring to get the correct ring size. 

Measuring your finger at home

Follow this simple method to get a rough estimate of your size:

1. Cut a strip of paper or string no wider than 1.2cm.

2. Wrap it around the base of your finger and mark where it overlaps.

3. Use a ruler to measure in mm from the start of the paper/string to the mark.

4. Use the Ring Size Conversion Chart below to get a rough estimate of your size.
