Ring Size Guide
The most reliable way to find your size is to measure a ring you already own and love. Inside diameter is the measurement that actually matters, so if you are between two sizes, size up. A ring that is slightly loose can be worn. One that is too tight cannot.

Our rings run from a US 2 upward. If your size is not listed, email us, most designs can be made to order.
Method one: measure a ring you already own
- Choose a ring that fits the finger you are buying for.
- Lay it flat and measure straight across the inside, from one inner edge to the other.
- Match that measurement to the inside diameter column above.
Use a ruler with millimetres and measure at the widest point of the inside circle. Half a millimetre changes the size, so measure twice.
Method two: measure your finger
- Cut a strip of paper about 5 mm wide and 100 mm long. Paper works better than string, which stretches.
- Wrap it snugly around the base of your finger, not tight, and mark where the ends overlap.
- Lay the strip flat and measure from the end to your mark in millimetres.
- Match that number to the inside circumference column above.
Buying for your little finger
A pinkie ring is usually a size or two smaller than the same person's ring finger, though it varies more than most guides admit, so treat it as a starting point rather than a rule. If you are borrowing a ring from another finger to work out a pinkie size, take a size or two off. If you can measure the actual finger, do that instead.
Our smaller sizes, US 2 to US 4, are the usual pinkie range.
A few things worth knowing
- Measure at the end of the day. Fingers are largest in the evening and in warm weather, and smallest first thing and when you are cold.
- Check the knuckle. The ring has to pass over it. If your knuckle is noticeably wider than the base of your finger, go up a size.
- Wider bands feel tighter. If you are buying a chunky band, consider sizing up.
- Buying a surprise gift? Borrow a ring they already wear on the right finger and use method one. If you are guessing, the most common size we sell is a US 6.
