RING SIZE Tips & Tricks: Buy a plastic ring-sizing gauge or follow these easy steps to know your ring size.

Here are a few easy steps to help you figure out your ring size:

⎨AT YOUR LOCAL JEWELRY SHOP⎬
The BEST way to know your size is to go at your local jewelry shop to try different sizes. Try a ring about the same width as the ring you want to buy online.

⎨BUY A RING-SIZING GAUGE⎬
You can buy a plastic ring-sizing gauge. You only need to add this item to your cart and proceed to checkout to receive it by the mail.

IMPORTANT
If you buy a ring sizing gauge and you want to order a ring band 5mm or wider you must add ½ size to get the good size.
(Example a size 6 with a plastic gauge will equal to a size 6 on a 3mm wide ring, but a 6 1/5 size on a 5mm ring band.)

⎨FROM A RING⎬
If you already have a ring that is the right size for you, it is possible to estimate your ring size from it. The ring must be about the same width as the one you want to purchase.
If the ring you have is thinner than the ring you want to order; add ½ size and vice-versa.
(Example a size 6 on a thin ring will equal to a size 6 on a 3mm wide ring, but a 6 1/5 size on a 5mm or wider ring band.)

This method is no the best way to know your ring size, but it does help a lot if every step is well executed. It is usually close to ¼ to ½ size.
It is a good way to get the ring size of someone else for a surprise gift.

You will need a paper, a fine pen or pencil and a rule with millimeters.

1. Place the ring on a paper sheet
2. Trace the interior border with a fine pencil
3. Measure the diameter* (∅) of that circle OUTSIDE the lines.

*The diameter (∅) represents a line connecting the largest points of the circle, passing trough the center.

The measure you get outside the circle should be the same has inside the ring.
Here are the different sizes matching their diameter (∅) inside.

Size 4.00 = 14.78 mm ∅
Size 4.25 = 15.00 mm ∅
Size 4.50 = 15.28 mm ∅
Size 4.75 = 15.40 mm ∅

Size 5.00 = 15.72 mm ∅

Size 12.00 = 21.45 mm ∅
Size 12.25 = 21.60 mm ∅
Size 12.50 = 21.80 mm ∅
Size 12.75 = 22.00 mm ∅

Size 13.00 = 22.30 mm ∅
Size 13.25 = 22.40 mm ∅
Size 13.50 = 22.60 mm ∅
Size 13.75 = 22.80 mm ∅

Size 14.00 = 23.14 mm ∅
Size 14.25 = 23.30 mm ∅
Size 14.50 = 23.50 mm ∅
Size 14.75 = 23.70 mm ∅

Size 15.00 = 23.88 mm ∅

I use US Sizes, which are mostly used in USA and Canada.

⎨RING SIZE ADJUSTMENT⎬
