Ring Sizing Information

In determining your ring size we offer some helpful information. It is best to have your finger measured by a trained jeweler using the proper tools of the trade. You can do this by trying on sizing rings for the correct fit or by measuring an existing ring of the same width on a ring mandrel to determine it's size. We do not recommend using the on-line template charts that you print out and set your ring onto, cut out to wrap around your finger or the ring size conversion chart below. The templates and charts should only be used in instances where you absolutely can not obtain a professional measurement to try for a close fit. If your not sure of the ring size needed it is best to purchase in the stock size and have resized locally. That way you are not having to pay for resizing twice. Where we are not able to physically fit your ring we can only guaranty the size to be as ordered, we can not guaranty the fit. Resizing will require additional sizing fees and exchanging for the correct ring size can only be done when the manufacturer offers more than one stock size. Many rings however are only cast in one size and re-sizing is necessary.

Other important factors in determining your ring size is its shape, how it is constructed and thickness of the band on the ring. Rings that span across the top of your finger and wide width bands will fit tighter as they cover a larger surface area. When measuring your finger for fit, mention the width of the band your interested in so your size can be adjusted to accommodate the additional width. Another way to determine on the extra wide bands & rings is to try on similar widths for fit and have that ring measured. Filigree rings with narrow bands and hollowed out under galleries tend to fit looser as the open space under the ring allows more room for the padding on your finger to expand in. It is not unusual to have to go one size up for a wide flat band and a half size smaller for a hollowed out filigree ring with a thin band.

It is also important to keep in mind when resizing your ring from stock size, it will change the 'look' of your ring due to the proportions of the shank in comparison to the top. As in the example on the left, the same ring in a size 4 looks drastically different in a size 10. This is because the top portion of the ring stays the same size but the shank or band's ratio is changed by the ring being pulled inwards to down size or stretched outwards to enlarge. Keep in mind the ring top or crown measurements will not change when a larger or smaller size is ordered only the shank portion is adjusted. It is not unusual for customer to look at the stock sized image which is usually a 6 or 7, order a size 11 and then be feel that the ring was misrepresented as it was smaller looking in person. The only thing changed is the ring's top half was stretched outwards in order to enlarge the shank to size.

Ring Size Conversion Chart

International customers can convert their ring size to United States standards here. There also is an inside diameter measurement in both inches and millimeters to help estimate your ring size. Please note that measuring with a ruler is not the correct tool to use but as the only resort can give you a good idea of the approximate ring size.

* This chart is not a recommended nor a guaranteed method of converting your ring size accurately when using the measurements provided. Our rings are guaranteed only to be the sized as ordered. If it happens not to fit but the ring is the correct size you ordered, there is a fee for resizing. On rings ordered in a particular size that were received in the wrong ring size, we will in this instance resize for no charge. If unsure of the style of the ring and how it will fit, it is best to leave in stock size and resize when you can have your ring professionally fitted in person.
