Ring Sizing Guide
Finding the perfect ring size is essential for comfort and style. Follow our comprehensive guide to ensure your ring fits beautifully.
Choosing the Right Ring Style
The style of the ring is essential. Ask yourself:
👋 Everyday Wear
Stick with solid designs and avoid very thin bands or delicate patterns. Durability is key for daily wear.
✨ Special Occasions
Go for it—the world is your oyster! Delicate, intricate designs are perfect for occasional wear.
How to Correctly Size a Ring
Method 1: Using a Current Ring
If you have a current ring for the same finger where the new ring will go, first ensure you’re satisfied with its fit.
Place the ring on a piece of paper and trace the inside
Measure the inside diameter from left to right in millimeters
Method 2: Without a Current Ring
Use any metal ring or hard plastic object (like a nut) following the same method above.
Important: We suggest using metal or hard plastic rather than string or paper sizing kits, as they are flexible and may provide an incorrect measurement. The object must go over the knuckle comfortably—nothing would be worse than receiving your beautiful new ring only to have it not fit over your knuckle.
Essential Ring Sizing Tips
Each hand is different: Always measure the specific finger where you’ll wear the ring
Best time to measure: Around 6 PM (hands are coolest in the morning). Exceptions: after manual labor or during a heatwave
Measure multiple times: Size 3-4 times on different days to ensure accuracy
Children’s rings: Size on the middle finger so it can be moved to other fingers as they grow
Pregnancy caution: Do not size while pregnant—measurements will be inaccurate. Remove rings at first sign of swelling to avoid circulation issues
Stacking rings: Sizes will differ—bottom ring might be K, top ring might be L
Wide vs narrow bands: If you measured on a narrow band but are buying a wide band, you may need to go up a size. Contact us for clarification
Oversized knuckles: Try getting the ring over with some cream. If not possible, jewellers can fit small balls inside to prevent swinging
Perfect fit: Snug enough so it won’t fall off, but comfortable enough to wear all day
⚠️ Tight Ring Warning
If your ring is cutting in or you cannot remove it, go to your local jeweller immediately and have it cut off. Never wear a ring that restricts circulation.

Hi there I’m struggling a little lol my daughter is a size O and a half and see you dont stock half sizes, I am having hard time reading the chart for half sizing recommendations ?
Thankyou Kindly
Hello, Corrine,
As we don’t stock half sizes you will need to go a “P” which is only slightly larger than the “O”.
