WHAT SIZE AM I? HOW DO I MEASURE MY FINGER SIZE?

Which finger is the wedding ring finger?

Make sure you measure the right finger!

Your fingers will all measure differently, even from left to right hands. In the UK, your wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand, the finger next to the pinky!

The ring finger is the same for both men and women.

How do I accurately measure my finger size at home?

Ideally the ring should slip easily onto your finger but needs a wiggle to get it off. You don’t want it to come off too easily as your finger size will vary according to conditions, eg. body temperate. Your finger measurement will even vary during the course of the day so measure it at different times of the day.

Can I use a paper tape measure to find my ring size?

There are many websites that recommend printing off a paper measuring tape, but they should only be used as an initial guide. Rings are solid and they don’t flex like a tape measure. A tape measure will give you a fair starting point, as to what ring size you should order, but we highly recommend that you do request a complimentary sizing kit – as you may be surprised how different your size will be, once you place a solid ring on your finger!

Where can I get my finger measured?

You can go to a local jewellers and ask to be sized but not all jewellers size in the same way (leading edge / to centre). Not only that, there are also different ring size charts and scales depending on where you are in the world.
