How to Choose the Correct Ring Size

When placing your order, you will need the correct ring size. The most accurate way is to visit your local jeweller and have them measure your finger or another ring of the correct size. If you are in Auckland, you are most welcome to contact me and organise a time to come to my workshop and have your finger measured.

If this option is not open to you there are several options:

1. Use my Ring Sizing tool which will help you to measure your size at home. You can purchase a ring sizer here.
2. There are also easy to use apps you can download on your phone. One I use is called Ring Sizer which allows you to measure a ring or your finger to get a size.
3. You can also find online resources to help you to find your ring size. One site is Ringsizer - Measure Ring Size: Virtual Tool + Chart (ringsizer.co). Use your phone so that you can measure an existing ring to get the ring size needed. Follow the instructions to find your ring size.

I use the Ring Size conversion chart found on http://www.ringsizes.co/. This provides you with both the British/Australian and the US/Canada sizes.

This table is invaluable if you already know your ring size but we work in a different ring size scale.

What are the most commonly purchased ring sizes?

• I have found that the average ring size varies between L and O for women.
• The most common size for a man’s ring ranges from S to U.

Tips

1. Your finger size can change during the day – The best time to measure is at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest. Do not measure when your hands are cold, as your fingers could be up to half a size smaller than usual.
2. If you are buying a gift, the best way to establish ring size is to borrow a ring of theirs (from the correct finger!) and take it to your local jeweller for an accurate measurement.
3. A wider band will feel tighter than a narrower band. This is also true for a ring set of three or more rings worn together as an interlocking stack.
4. Your ring should comfortably fit your finger: it should be snug but still loose enough to slide over your knuckle.
