THE RING SIZING GUIDE
A little measure.
A better fit.
A ring that fits well stays on your finger and feels comfortable all day. This guide shows you how to measure your ring size at home, how to choose the right size for a wide band or a surprise proposal, and what to do if your ring does not fit.
A ring that is too loose can slip off, and one that is too tight is uncomfortable and hard to remove. Sizing is also the most common reason an engagement ring needs to be adjusted after the proposal.
HOW IT WORKS
Four ways to find a starting size.
At-home measurements are a starting point; an in-person fitting is the best way to confirm.
Measure an Existing Ring That Fits
Choose a ring that fits the correct finger well. Measure the inside diameter in millimeters (the widest point from inside edge to inside edge). Compare it to the chart below.
Use String or a Paper Strip
Cut a thin strip of paper or a piece of string. Wrap it around the base of the finger. Mark where the ends meet. Lay it flat and measure the length in millimeters. That is your finger circumference. Compare it to the chart below.
Use a Printable or Plastic Ring Sizer
A printable sizer is a quick option, but check that your printer prints at 100 percent scale. Plastic sizers are more consistent.

THE DETAILS
Small details.
More accurate results.
Measure at the end of the day. Fingers are usually largest later in the day.
Measure when your hands are warm and relaxed. Cold hands shrink and hot hands swell. In Yuma's summer heat, fingers can be noticeably larger than in winter, so measure more than once, on different days.
Consider your knuckle. The ring must slide over the knuckle but stay put at the base of the finger.
Size for wide bands. Wider bands (6 mm and up) feel tighter. Many people go up a quarter to half size.
Between sizes? Choose the larger size, or ask us about half sizes and sizing beads.
Your dominant hand is often slightly larger.
KEEPING THE SECRET
A surprise proposal.
A thoughtful plan.
Borrow a ring she wears on the same finger and trace the inside on paper, or press it into a bar of soap or foam to leave an impression. Take a photo of the ring on a ruler, measuring the inside diameter. Ask a trusted friend or family member. Or simply bring the ring in to us and we can estimate. Many proposals use an approximate size. Ask us about resizing options for the specific ring.
ASK ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC RING
Can the ring
be resized?
Most solid gold and platinum rings can be made larger or smaller. Fully diamond-set eternity bands, tension settings and some alternative metals are difficult or impossible to resize. Speak with our jewelry experts in store to discuss your options.
YOUR QUESTIONS
A few more
fitting questions.
A little clarity before your next visit.
What is the average ring size?
Sizes vary widely, so do not rely on an average. Measure your own finger.
Do finger sizes change over time?
Yes. Weight changes, pregnancy, temperature and age can all affect size.
What if my ring is too loose?
Sizing beads, a ring guard or professional resizing can help.
