How to use a free ring size chart to determine your ring size

  1. Print the Guide: Make sure to print our ring size guide at 100% on A4 paper in landscape orientation.
  2. Find the Right Fit: Take a ring that fits the intended finger and place it over the circles on the guide, aligning the inner edge of the ring with the circles.
  3. Identify the Size: The number inside the circle that best matches the inner edge of the ring indicates the ring size.
  4. Choose the Larger Size: If the ring fits between two sizes, opt for the larger one for the best fit.

  3. Mark the Paper: Use a pen or pencil to mark where the paper overlaps.
  4. Measure the Length: Lay the paper flat and measure the distance between the mark and the end of the strip in millimeters (mm).
  5. Find Your Size: Compare your measurement to our ring size chart to determine the closest ring size.

Finding the Perfect Ring Size

Your ring should fit comfortably on your finger, whether you prefer silver or gold rings. When worn, it should stay securely in place, but it should also slide over your knuckle with ease when removed. If the ring is too tight, it will feel uncomfortable and may be difficult to remove. Conversely, if the ring is too loose, it risks slipping off your finger and getting lost. Aim for a size that balances security with comfort.

Helpful ring sizing tips

When you’re measuring ring size, don’t forget these useful tips.

1.

Avoid measuring your ring size when your hands are cold, as your fingers may be smaller than usual by about half a size.

2.

The optimal time to measure your finger size is in the evening when your fingers are at their largest.

3.

Measure your finger at least three times to ensure you get an accurate reading.

4.

A ring with a broader band might feel snugger, necessitating a slightly larger size for a comfortable fit.

How Should a Ring Fit?

A well-fitting ring should snugly encircle your finger, providing a secure fit without excessive tightness, and smoothly glide over your knuckle with minimal resistance. It should offer a slight resistance when worn, yet be easy to put on and remove without requiring excessive force.

What if the ring doesn’t fit?

Should your ring not fit perfectly, there's no need for concern. Achieving the ideal size can be challenging, but we've got you covered. Simply return the ring for resizing if necessary to ensure it fits just right.

We offer complimentary resizing for items within 30 days of delivery, accommodating adjustments up to two sizes smaller or larger. However, resizing beyond this range may result in an additional £69 fee. Please note that the feasibility of resizing depends on the complexity of the design, and certain elements may not be resizable.

Ring Size Tips

  • When determining your ring size, it's essential to measure the hand you intend to wear the ring on, as our dominant hands often have slightly different sizes. Consider the design of the ring carefully; wider bands tend to fit snugger. For rings with bulky bands (>4mm), it's advisable to size up by at least half a size, while for very thin designs (<1.3mm), sizing down appropriately is recommended. Remember that ring sizes are typically measured in millimeters (mm), not inches.

  • Ensure that your body temperature is at a normal level, as fingers tend to contract in colder weather and swell in warmer temperatures. It's best to measure towards the middle or end of the day, as our fingers can change size throughout the day based on factors like diet and hydration.

  • When measuring, consider both the base of the finger and any prominent knuckles. The ring should slide comfortably over the knuckle without being too tight or loose, so choose a size that falls between those measurements for optimal comfort and fit.
