Ring Sizing Guide
Materials needed: ribbon, string or a strip of paper and a ruler.
1. Wrap a piece of paper, string, or ribbon around your finger. Using a pencil or pen, mark where the two pieces meet.
2. Using a ruler, measure the length of the ribbon or paper in millimeters. Use the Ring Size Conversion Chart below to find your size.
This measures the circumference of your finger that should be equal to the interior circumference of a ring. Its important to note that the thickness of the metal can make a difference.
A good rule of thumb:
- If you are between sizes, size up.
Because every ring is hand-crafted and silverware patterns vary slightly in thickness and shape, sizing results may differ slightly. If you’re unsure or between sizes, choosing the larger size is recommended.
If Your Ring Feels Slightly Too Large
Plastic Ring Size Adjuster
Plastic ring size adjusters can be an affordable and effective way to make a ring fit tighter. You can purchase a plastic ring size adjuster, which typically comes in a coil, spring, or tube form. All you need to do is slip the adjuster onto the ring’s band to reduce the inner circumference, making the ring fit snugly on your finger. These plastic adjusters are typically available in clear or neutral colors, making it a subtle solution.
Strategically Stacked Rings
Stack properly fitting rings above your loose ring offers a creative way to wear a ring that's too big without resizing. You can place other correctly fitting rings on either side of your oversized ring to act as barriers that prevent it from sliding off. This not only secures the ring but creates a trendy, layered look that appears intentional.
While the above methods are safe, reversible, and comfortable, there are a few at-home methods that are not recommended.
To avoid damaging the ring, please do not try:
- Tape: Wrapping tape around the band might seem like a quick fix, but it can damage the metal over time and leave a sticky residue that is difficult to remove.
- Glue: Applying glue to the inside of the ring band can create an uneven surface, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the ring’s metal and finish.
- Cutting the Band Yourself: Attempting to cut the band or make any permanent adjustments without professional tools and expertise can severely damage the ring.
