Why Fit Matters

A ring you love should be a ring that fits.

Ring size is the one detail that can quietly undo an otherwise perfect piece. Too loose and it spins, slides, and risks slipping off. Too tight and it pinches, marks the skin, and becomes uncomfortable to wear all day.

The good news: finding your correct size is simple, and you can do it accurately at home in under a minute. This page walks you through every method, explains how the international standards relate to one another, and gives you our full conversion chart.

"A well-fitted ring should slide on with a little resistance and need a gentle pull to come off over the knuckle."

Before You Measure

Four things that change your reading.

Measure at the Right Time

Fingers are smallest in the early morning and in cold weather, and largest in the evening and heat. Measure at the end of the day, at normal body temperature, for the most reliable everyday fit.

Mind the Knuckle

If your knuckle is noticeably wider than the base of your finger, size to slide over the knuckle — then choose the nearest size that still sits snugly at the base.

Match the Band Width

Wide bands fit more snugly than thin ones. For a band wider than about 6mm, consider going up a quarter to a half size for comfort.

Measure More Than Once

Take your measurement two or three times on different occasions and use the average. A single reading can mislead; a consistent one rarely does.

How to Measure

Three ways to find your size.

Choose whichever is easiest with what you have to hand. The string-and-ruler method works for everyone; measuring an existing ring is the most accurate if you already own one that fits.

01
String or Paper Method
  • 1Cut a thin strip of paper or a length of string about 10cm long.
  • 2Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger — not too tight, not loose.
  • 3Mark where the end overlaps with a pen.
  • 4Lay it flat against a ruler and measure the length in millimetres.
  • 5That length is your inner circumference — match it on the chart below.
No tools needed
02
Measure an Existing Ring
  • 1Take a ring that already fits the intended finger well.
  • 2Measure the inner diameter straight across, edge to edge, in millimetres.
  • 3Be precise — even half a millimetre changes the size.
  • 4Find that inner diameter in the chart below.
  • 5Read across for your India, USA, and Europe size.

03
Professional Sizing
  • 1Visit any local jeweller and ask to be sized on a ring stick.
  • 2It is quick, free, and the most precise of all.
  • 3Ask for the measurement in millimetres or the India size.
  • 4Share that with us and we will confirm the exact fit.
  • 5Ideal for a surprise — have their finger sized discreetly.

Reading the chart: Circumference is the distance all the way around the inside of the band; diameter is the straight-line distance across. Either one gives you your size in every standard listed. USA & Canada and UK, Australia & Ireland share their systems, as do Japan & China. The Europe (ISO) size is simply the inner circumference in millimetres — which is why those two columns match.
Get It Right

Small habits that lead to a perfect fit.

Most sizing errors come from a handful of avoidable mistakes. A measurement taken carelessly — cold hands, a stretched string, the wrong finger — can put you a full size off. These pointers keep your reading honest.

If you only remember one thing: measure the actual finger the ring will live on, at the end of a normal day, and do it more than once.

The Bottom Line
An accurate measurement now saves a resize later. Take your time, measure twice, and when you are between sizes, size up — a ring can always be brought in.
01
Measure the Right Finger

Each finger differs, and the same finger differs between hands. Always size the exact finger the ring is intended for.

02
Avoid Cold Hands

Cold shrinks fingers and gives a too-small reading. Measure when your hands are warm and at rest.

03
Don't Pull the String

A string stretched tight reads smaller than the truth. Wrap it snug but relaxed, the way a ring would actually sit.

04
When Unsure, Size Up

A slightly large ring can be resized down easily. Going larger from a too-tight band is more involved — so round up.

Frequently Asked

Questions about ring sizing.

Sizing can feel fiddly, especially when buying a surprise or shopping across international standards. These are the questions we hear most — with straight answers.

Still unsure? Chat with us on WhatsApp and we will walk you through it — we typically respond within a few minutes.

What size should I order if I'm between two sizes?
Order the larger of the two. A ring that is slightly too big can be resized down simply, and a band that is a touch loose is far more comfortable to wear than one that is too tight. If you would like a second opinion, send us your exact measurement before ordering and we will recommend the best fit.
How do I measure my partner's size without them knowing?
The easiest way is to borrow a ring they already wear on the correct finger and measure its inner diameter against our chart. You can also trace the inside of the ring on paper, or press it into a bar of soap to leave an impression. If you are unsure, order close and rely on our complimentary resizing — we would rather get you near and adjust than have you guess.
What is the difference between India, USA, UK, Europe, and Japan sizing?
They are different labelling systems for the same physical finger measurement. India, Japan, and China use numeric scales; the USA and Canada use numbers with halves; the UK, Australia, and Ireland use letters; and Europe (the ISO standard) is simply the inner circumference in millimetres. The actual ring is identical — only the name of the size changes between countries. Our chart lines all of them up against the millimetre measurements so you can convert between any two at a glance.
Does the width of the band affect the size I need?
Yes. A wider band covers more of the finger and fits more snugly than a thin one of the same size. If your ring has a band wider than around 6mm, consider going up a quarter to half a size for all-day comfort. Let us know the style you are choosing and we will factor this in.
Can my Variation ring be resized after purchase?
Yes. Because every piece is made to order, we want the fit to be exactly right — and we offer complimentary resizing to make sure of it. Certain designs, such as full eternity bands, have limits on how far they can be adjusted, so if fit is a concern with a particular style, message us before ordering and we will advise.
When is the best time of day to measure?
Measure at the end of the day, when your hands are warm and at their natural size. Fingers are smallest in the cold of the morning and swell slightly with heat, activity, and over the course of the day. A late-day measurement at room temperature reflects how the ring will fit most of the time.
My measurement falls between two rows on the chart. What now?
Round up to the next row. Our size finder above does this automatically — if your number sits between two sizes, it returns the larger one. A slightly generous fit is comfortable and easy to bring in, whereas a too-tight ring is harder to enlarge. When in doubt, share the exact figure with us.
