Ring Size Guide

Having your finger professionally measured is the most accurate way to determine your ring size. However, we understand that isn't always possible, so here are our handy tips to help you find out from the comfort of your own home.

 

How to find the correct ring size

 

Wrap a piece of string, or a strip of paper no wider than 10 MM around the base of the finger you'd like your ring to fit on.

Use a pen or pencil to mark the point where the string or paper overlaps.

Unwrap the string or paper from your finger, and measure the length from the start of the string or paper to the mark that you have made in MM.

Please be careful to start measuring from the correct end of the string or paper to the mark.

Compare this length with the chart below to establish your UK ring size. Some of our rings come in European or US sizes, you'll find the ring size conversion chart at the bottom of this page.

Tip: Avoid measuring your fingers when they're cold, as your fingers are at their smallest and be sure to check that you can slide your string or paper over your knuckle, before you mark the overlap point.

 

How can I tell the ring size of my partner? 

 

Why not borrow one of your partner's rings (for the appropriate finger), and either slide it down a tapered candle until it fits closely (don't push it too hard), or trace around the inside of the ring on a piece of paper.

Measure the circumference of the candle at the point at which the ring fits, or the circumference of your traced ring and use the table above to convert this into a ring size.

If you can't get your hands on one of your partner's rings, don't forget your partner's parents or close friends – they might know!
