How To Measure Your Finger

1. Wrap a piece of string or paper strip around the base of your finger.

2. Mark the string or paper where it overlaps to form a complete circle.

3. Measure the length of the section of string or paper where it overlaps around the finger.

4. Compare your measurement with this chart to determine your ring size.

5. Please note: You need to take the knuckle into consideration when sizing. The base of your finger may be smaller then your knuckle. Also wider bands should be sized 1 size larger.

If you want to discreetly determine your girlfriends ring size, next time you're at the mall together, suggest having one of her rings cleaned. Many jewelry stores will do it for free, and while they're cleaning her ring, you can secretly ask the sales person to check the size for you. Another method is to slip her ring on your finger and mark the spot it fits and then later measure that spot with the directions above.

Choosing a Sterling Silver Ring Size

Since sterling silver is considered a soft metal, sizing is less precise than with gold/platinum/steel. For this reason most sterling silver rings can only be made into whole sizes.

Rings with wider bands tend to fit more tightly than rings with thinner bands. For this reason, if the ring that you are purchasing has a wide band, we recommend purchasing one size larger than what you normally wear. This will ensure that the ring doesn't feel too tight.
