Ring Size Guide

A ring should fit comfortably in the finger of the wearer as well as it should be tight enough which will prevent it from accidentally falling off. The best and most accurate way to measure a ring size is by visiting a local jeweler. Jewelers use a set of graduated rings and other specialized tools to determine ring size. Ring size can also be measured easily at home by any of the following ways:

Ring Size Measurement by Ring’s Diameter

The diameter of a ring can be measured by the distance across the middle inside. You can use below given ring size circles based on ring’s diameter for measuring your exact ring size. Please follow the steps to get the accurate ring size:

1. Select a ring that fits comfortably in the figure for which you are intended to know the size.
2. Take a printout of the below given figure A as per the given print instructions.
3. Place that ring over the circles to match with nearest circle size to find the inside size of the ring.
4. If the ring falls in between two sizes then it is advisable to go for the larger size.

Ring Size Measurement by Ring’s Circumference

The circumference of a ring can be measured by its length around the inner circle. You can use below given finger size strip for measuring your exact ring size. Please follow the steps to get the accurate ring size:

1. Take a printout of the below given figure B as per the given print instructions.
2. Carefully cut this printout from the image outline to get a size strip. Also give a slit inside the strip at the left end.
3. Wrap this size strip around the intended finger with the scale facing out and then slide the narrow end of the strip through the slit.
4. Pull the narrow end until the fit is snug. Also try to move that fit through the largest part of the finger, this may be the knuckle.
5. The number that lines up at the slit represents the ring size for that finger.

Print Instructions

Resize your Ring

Most gold or silver rings can be resized by a skilled jeweler by way of soldering or stretching and compressing. However some rings cannot be resized due to gemstone setting, plating, shape or surface design. Usually small resizing does not give problems but more extreme resizing can noticeably impact the look and structure of your ring. Increasing the size of a ring typically requires gentle hammering and this will cause the shank of the ring to thin slightly. For decreasing or increasing the ring size, your jeweler may also remove or insert extra metal through soldering. Some jewelers do not resize platinum because of its density and strength.
