Ring Sizing

Things to Consider

Finding your ring size is a fairly simple task, but considerations should be made. If you are choosing a wider ring or band you may want to go up in size for comfort, as a wider band will take up more surface area on the finger and can feel snug. Thinner rings or bands should be true to your size. Your dominant hand can also be 1/4 to 1/2 a size larger than you non-dominant hand. In colder weather fingers and hands can shrink a bit, conversely they can swell a bit in the hotter months. Magpie Jewellery also sizes rings that are made of precious materials; silver, gold, and platinum in house.

Option 1

Use a current ring

The chart below speaks to the diameter of a ring in millimetres. If you have a ring currently, measure with a ruler across the centre of it. Using the chart determine your ring size from the correlating measurement:

(e.g. a ring that is a size 8 has a diameter of 18.2mm)

Option 2

Use a string or a twist tie

If you have measured the finger to be sized with string, or know the circumference in millimetres, use the following chart to convert the length to a ring size. If in doubt, move up to the next largest half size.
