Purchasing a ring can be a difficult task, but we are here to make this easy for you.

Some tips and facts about ring sizing/sizes:

  • Measure your finger in warm temperatures and at the end of the day. The reason being your hands swell throughout the day and you want a ring that will fit comfortably at all times.
  • When considering a wide band, select a size up to ensure the ring fits comfortably.
  • Your ring size will vary by hand. Your primary hand (the hand you write with) will be about a 1/2 size larger than the other.
  • The average size for women is 6. For men, 10.
  • Jewelry stores will provide your rin size for free.

Many sites suggest using a piece of string to measure your ring size. While easy, this method can produce often inaccurate results. We recommend using a printable ring sizer. Click link below and we'll email one to you for free. The reason for this is the string method does not account for the size of your knuckle which is obviously detrimental to whether a ring fits or not.

If you would like to try making your own ring sizer, it is easy.

  1. Cut a piece of paper about three inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
  2. Wrap the paper around the finger you expect to wear the ring on making sure it slides over your knuckle with ease.
  3. Mark the paper at the place where both ends meet.
  4. Unroll the paper and lay flat.
  5. Carefully measure the distance from the end of the paper to where the mark is.
  6. Compare the measurement to the chart below to find your size.
