Size Guide
RINGS
Measuring your ring size requires precision, especially since styles can vary (e.g., thin engagement rings,
wedding bands, or bulky signet rings). Below are methods for measurement with specific considerations:
General Tips:
Best Time to Measure
Measure your finger during the day when it is at its natural temperature and slightly swollen (avoid
measuring after sleep or in extreme cold or heat). Avoid measuring right after intense exercise.
Considering Ring Style
Thin Rings: Measure precisely without adding extra room. Thin rings are easier to adjust to the finger.
Wedding Bands: Add a slight allowance (about 0.5 size) for comfort, especially with wider bands.
Heavy Signet Rings: Due to their weight, they may slide off more easily. Choose a snug fit with less room.
Measurement Methods:
Comparison with an Existing Ring
Use a well-fitting ring worn on the same finger.
Measure the ring's inner diameter with a caliper and compare it to a size chart.
Ring Sizer Tool
Use a professional jeweler's ring sizer at a jewelry store.
Opt for sizers that match the thickness of the ring you plan to purchase.
String or Tape Method
Wrap a piece of string or thin tape around the widest part of your finger (usually near the knuckle).
Mark where the ends meet, then unroll and measure the length in millimeters.
Convert the length into a ring size using a size chart.
Special Apps or Printouts
Use mobile apps with calibration functions or printed sizing charts.
Ring Size Systems Around the World:
Europe
Sizes correspond to the internal circumference of the ring in millimeters.
Example: Size 52 means a 52 mm internal circumference.
USA and Canada
A numerical system based on diameter in inches, with a unique scale.
Example: Size 6 corresponds to an internal diameter of about 16.5 mm.
UK and Australia
Use letters (A–Z).
Example: Size K corresponds to a diameter of 15.9 mm.
Japan, China, Korea
Numbers correspond to the internal diameter in millimeters, rounded to a simpler scale.
BRACELETS
How to Properly Measure Your Wrist:
To find the perfect bracelet size, use a measuring tape or string and wrap it around your wrist. The
measurement should be loose enough to reflect natural comfort when worn. Alternatively, you can measure
the length of a bracelet you already own. For rigid bracelet styles, also account for the circumference of your
hand in a folded position to ensure the bracelet slides on easily. Accurate measurement is key to achieving
the ideal fit.
Steps to Measure Your Bracelet Size:
Gather Materials
A soft measuring tape or a strip of paper/string and a ruler.
A pen or marker to mark the point on the paper/string.
Measure Your Wrist
Wrap the tape, paper, or string around the wrist where you plan to wear the bracelet.
Ensure the tape/string lies flat and is not too tight or too loose.
Mark the point where the ends meet.
Add Extra for Comfort
Depending on the bracelet style and personal preference:
Snug fit: Add 1–1.5 cm (0.4–0.6 in).
Standard fit: Add 1.5–2 cm (0.6–0.8 in).
Loose fit: Add 2.5–3 cm (1–1.2 in).
Record the Measurement
If using paper or string, measure the marked length with a ruler.
