Determining the correct ring size is perhaps the most terrifying part of shopping for jewelry online. Therefore I try to provide as much information as possible to help you make the choice and eliminate second-guessing.<\/p>
How to measure your finger<\/span><\/strong><\/p> Proper ring size can only be determined with a suitable sizing tool, such as a mandrel, if you\u2019re measuring a ring that you own, or a set of sizing rings. This can be done at most walk-in jewelry shops for free. You can also buy cheap sizing tools, including sizing rings, on Amazon or eBay. <\/p> Please, please, please don\u2019t use a piece of paper or string, a cardboard cut-out or any other DIY method. I\u2019ve never seen accurate results with these, and you usually end up with a ring two sizes bigger than needed. And no, I don\u2019t accept returns and I don\u2019t offer resizing services.<\/p> The next important thing to remember is I always mention the FIT of a ring, not it\u2019s actual size,<\/strong> unless stated otherwise. E.g. if you see a ring with a wide band and it says \u201cUS 7\u201d, it will fit a US 7, no matter what it measures on the mandrel.<\/p> Many wide rings actually fit more than one size due to their finger-hugging qualities. Often I provide the size as a 1\/4 size gap, e.g. US 6 1\/2 – 6 3\/4, which means that the ring will work well with both sizes and anything in between.<\/p> You may notice that some wider made-to-order rings include instructions, such as \u201cadd 1\/4 to your ring size\u201d. Please do this! <\/p> However, if there is no info on sizing up, it means that the ring fits true to size.<\/p>
