Ring Size Guide

• Step 1 - Get a non-stretchy string or paper about 6"(152MM) long and 1/4"(6.5MM) wide.
• Step 2 - Wrap the piece of string or paper strip around the base of your finger. It has to fit snug, but not too tight.
• Step 3 - Mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps forming a circle.
• Step 4 - Measure the length of the string/paper from the starting point to the mark.
• Step 5 - Compare your measurement with this chart to determine your ring size.

Tips & Tricks

 If you are between sizes, order a larger size. Make sure your finger is at a normal body temperature -- fingers can shrink or expand when cold or hot. If your knuckle is much larger than your finger’s base, take two separate measurements, and choose a size in between. You want a ring to fit over your knuckle, but not be too loose or it will shift around.

• Measure your fingers at the end of the day when they’re at their largest.
• Cold weather can shrink your fingers up to half a size, so make sure they’re warm.
• Lastly, alcohol and salt can make your fingers swell, so refrain from measuring them after cocktails and appetizers.

When measuring your finger, your measurements need to be a 100% accurate as even a fraction of a millimeter can make a difference

Global Ring Sizing Systems

There are several systems for indicating the size of a ring used around the world:

• In the United States, Canada, and Mexico, for indicating a ring size uses a numerical measure, for whole and half ring sizes. An increase of a full ring size is an increase of 0.032 inches (0.8128 mm) in diameter or roughly 1/10 inch in inside circumference.
• In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ireland, the ring sizes are specified using an alphabetical letter, for full and half ring sizes
• In Japan, India, South America, and China, ring sizes are specified using a numerical measure, that only has whole size rings, and does not have a direct correlation with diameter or circumference.
• In Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and Switzerland, ring sizes are specified as the circumference minus 40mm. A 50 ISO was a 10 in Switzerland.
• In France and Germany, the numbers of each size simply translate to the circumference of the inside of the ring in millimeters. So a size 40 would mean the inside circumference of a ring is also 40 mm.

This is a chart that will be extremely helpful for you to determine the ring size that you need. You can either make use of a tape or a small piece of string to measure the area that will be occupied by the ring. When it becomes a complete circle, make a mark on such string. This will be helpful for you to compare with the chart that is mentioned below. For extra width, you can add another size to accommodate.
