A ring that fits well feels secure without pinching. Here are the simplest ways to find your size.
1. Measure a ring you already own
Pick a ring that fits the finger you are shopping for. Measure the inside diameter in millimeters and compare it with the size guide on any ring page.
2. Use a strip of paper
Wrap a thin strip of paper around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps and measure the length in millimeters. That number is your finger's circumference.
3. Get sized in person
For the most accurate result, visit our studio for a free professional sizing. It only takes a few minutes.
Helpful tips
- Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger.
- Avoid measuring when your hands are cold.
- For bands wider than 6 mm, go up half a size.
- Planning a surprise? Borrow a ring they wear on the same finger.
