RING SIZE
I'm often asked how to go about measuring a finger, toe, knuckle etc.. for a ring.
Here is a quick and easy guide. This is ideal for our adjustable rings
However, having your ring measured by a jewellery professional will give you a more accurate measurement.
​
​
There are a few things that you will need:
-
Thin non-stretchy cord or thread, dental floss is ideal as long as it's nice and thin and does not stretch.
-
A pen (felt tip pens usually work best)
-
A ruler or tape measure.
-
This can be quite tricky to do so you may also need someone to help.
​
​
-
Wrap a piece of the dental floss (thread) around your finger (or toe) at the point where you want the ring to sit.
-
Make sure that it overlaps, as shown in the photographs.
-
Put a pen mark on both pieces of thread. This marks the circumference of your finger (toe)
-
Measure again at the widest point (usually the knuckle) as the ring will need to fit comfortably over this point, so you will need to make allowances for this.
-
Measure the thread (in mm) between the two marks against the ruler.
-
Using millimetres will give you a more accurate measurement.
-
Now use that measurement to find out your ring size from the chart below, sizing up or down slightly as needed.
-
Don't measure cold fingers as this is when they are at their smallest.
Practice this technique a few times and take several measurements until you are happy that you are measuring correctly.
Please note that this is only a guide to your ring size, having your finger measured by a jewellery professional will give you a more accurate measurement.
