Jewellery size guide
We advise you to check not only the size of the jewellery and your height before buying, but also the information about the metals and stones in the jewellery, and the pattern sizes, compared with your hands, ears, wrists, etc. Don't know your size? Don't panic, it's very easy to measure your size, based on your current jewellery, or simply by measuring the circumference of your finger or wrist. Just follow the guides below.
It's not easy to choose the right ring size when you're shopping online!
Whether as a gift or for yourself, the choice of ring size is crucial to ensure that the ring is comfortable to wear and fits perfectly on the finger. Here are a few tips:
Measure your finger size
The size of a ring corresponds to its circumference. A size 51, for example, corresponds to a finger circumference of 51mm.
The first step in knowing your ring size is to measure the circumference of your finger. You can do this using a tape measure or a piece of string, which you can measure later. Fingers tend to swell or shrink depending on temperature, physical activity and even the time of day. It is advisable to measure the size of your finger at different times of the day and, if the measurements vary, to choose the largest size.
If you're buying a ring for someone else, it can be difficult to measure the size of their finger. In this case, you can find out the right size by taking a ring that the person wears often and measuring it, or by looking for a match using our virtual ring gauge (print out the drawing).
The shape of your finger
It's also important to consider the shape of your finger. Fingers can be thin at the base and wider at the top, or vice versa. In this case, it's important to measure at the widest part of your finger to ensure that the ring is neither too tight nor too loose. The right size is the one that allows you to put the ring on without difficulty, with a little resistance at the joint so you don't lose it, but the ring also needs to be able to turn on the finger.
The material of the ring
It's also important to consider the material of the ring. Precious metal rings, such as gold or platinum, tend to be heavier than silver or stainless steel rings. Heavier rings may require a slightly larger size for optimum comfort.
Choosing the right ring size takes a little time and effort, but it's worth it to make sure the ring fits your finger perfectly.
