When ordering or giving a ring as a gift, it is extremely important to know the right size so that it is comfortable for the wearer and does not slip off the finger. Below we outline the best methods for sizing your ring and give you tips on how to do it accurately. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Use a ring gauge.<\/h3>\n

The best and most accurate way to size your ring is to use a special ring tape measure or a set of plastic or metal sizing rings. If you have the chance, visit a jewellery shop where special measuring tools are usually available. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Measure the diameter of the existing ring.<\/h3>\n

If you already have a ring that fits perfectly, you can measure its inside diameter with a ruler or caliper. Then compare the size with the size chart below: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Ring size<\/td>\nDiameter (mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
15<\/span><\/td>\n14,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
16<\/span><\/td>\n15,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
17<\/span><\/td>\n16,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
18<\/span><\/td>\n17,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
19<\/span><\/td>\n18,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
20<\/span><\/td>\n19,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
21<\/span><\/td>\n20,9<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Measure the finger with a thread or paper strip.<\/h3>\n

If you don’t have a ring handy, you can measure your finger as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Take a thin thread or strip of paper and wrap it tightly around your finger.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Make a mark where the thread or paper overlaps.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Measure the length in millimetres and divide by 3.14 (pi) to get the diameter.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Use the size chart to find the right ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Consider the influence of time and temperature<\/h3>\n

Fingers can change during the day and with different temperatures. At the end of the day, measure the size of your fingers when they are in their natural state and not too cold or swollen. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Ask for professional help<\/h3>\n

If you’re in doubt or want an accurate result, visit our jewellery shop where a specialist will help you find the right size and advise you on the best ring.<\/span><\/p>\n
