Has a ring ever really caught your eye but as soon as you start to consider taking it home you realise you don't know your ring size?
What's the best way to find your perfect ring size? Can you find your ring size at home? We're here to help with our ring size guide.
Ring Sizers
In the UK we go by ring sizes A to Z+ where A is the smallest size. The best and most accurate way to get measured is by using a conventional ring sizer. You can find these online for around £2 or go to your local jeweller for them to take your size. Make sure when measuring your ring size that the ring will fit tight enough to slide over the knuckle with some resistance, but not too tight that circulation to the finger is lost at all. If you're worried about how a ring should fit, feel free to message us on Instagram so we can send you a video example of a perfect snug fit which can be put on and taken off properly.
Finding Your Ring Size at Home
The next best way to find your ring size is by using string or paper. If you want to find your ring size at home with no equipment this is a good option for you. Here you take the string or paper, wrap it around the finger and mark it where it fits best.
Make sure to wrap the finger as tight as you would want the ring to be to give an accurate finger size. Next, measure the string or paper as accurately as possible with a ruler in millimetres. You can then compare this circumference measurement to a ring size chart; or give us this measurement at Silver Hollow Jewellery for the perfect size to match. The ring diameter or inside diameter can also be used but the circumference is the best measurement for accuracy. Circumference will be the measurement you take around the finger.
Here's a size chart below that should help you determine your correct ring size:
Ring size charts can sometimes refer to US sizing or EU sizes, if you need any help converting these sizes into UK A-Z+ sizing this can also work as a size conversion chart, or we can help you at Silver Hollow Jewellery.
Getting a ring size for someone else
How can you find someone else's ring size? Wondering how to find a loved one's ring size for a gift or engagement ring?
If you don't want to give away the surprise of gifting a ring this is a hard problem to get around. Hopefully, our ring sizing guide has given you some ideas to sneakily find the perfect size for a gift. If all else fails you could find a ring that already fits the person. We can then put this on our ring-size mandrel to find the size which we can replicate. Everyone's fingers are different so sometimes it has to come down to an estimate which we are happy to help you with.
Want a ring resized?
We normally size our rings for a broad spectrum of people- from sizes H to Z+3. Upon request, we can make rings in smaller sizes as small as G and as large as Z+15 for plus-sized rings. Please contact us if you would like a custom ring size made for a certain piece.
Please make sure you know your accurate ring size before purchasing with us- we're happy to help you find this! At Silver Hollow Jewellery we can resize your ring for you for a small fee, whether it's one of our own or another piece from your collection. The resizing will depend on a few things including the desired size change, if there are any gemstones in the jewellery, and the material; just contact us and we can take a look!
