What is my ring size?

The surest way to determine your ring size (or anyone else's) is to go to a jeweler and use this little set of plain bands all attached to a steel loop.  More indirect approaches that are still fine (and better when large bands such as our heavier rings are the subject) involve taking a ring which fits comfortably to a jeweler and putting it on a ring stick;  the number where the ring stops is your ring size.  If you are trying to surprise someone with a gift, this method works better than dragging them into a jewelry store.  Combinations of these ideas work too, like "Want to see if this ring fits?" or "Can I try your ring on?,"  then going and having your fitting finger sized.
Very typically, people with larger hands prefer wider bands than people with smaller hands.

But I don't want to do that...
  1. Cut a stip of paper 1/4 inch wide.
  2. Wrap the paper closely around the finger the ring is to fit and mark the paper where it meets. Make sure this size will go over your knuckle.
  3. Measure the marked length of paper and compare that with the chart below:

If you are between sizes, it is safer to pick the larger one.

If you know a half-size (or any other not listed here) fits best, contact our silversmith for a custom fit.
