The Perfect Fit
Ring Size Guide
A properly fitting ring should slide on easily but resist coming off over the knuckle. When in doubt, a little looser is always better than a little tighter.
How to Measure
Method One — Measure an Existing Ring
This is the most accurate approach, and it's our recommended method when you're planning a surprise. Find a ring she already wears on the correct finger — it should fit comfortably without sliding off.
- Place the ring on a flat surface and measure the inside diameter (not the outside) in millimetres, from edge to edge across the centre.
- Cross-reference the measurement using the chart below to find your ring size.
- Measure twice. The smallest errors matter with fine jewellery.
Method Two — Measure Your Finger
If you have access to the wearer, measuring the finger directly is straightforward:
- Wrap a strip of paper or string snugly around the base of the finger.
- Mark the point where the paper overlaps and measure the length in millimetres.
- Use the "Inside Circumference" column in the chart below to find your size.
- Measure at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest. Avoid measuring when hands are very cold.
Method Three — Visit a Jeweller
Any local jeweller can size your finger accurately with a professional ring sizer. This is the most reliable method and takes under a minute.

Sizing Tips for Surprises
- Borrow a ring. If you can temporarily borrow a ring she wears on her left ring finger, trace the inside diameter or take it to a jeweller for sizing.
- Ask a friend. A trusted close friend or family member often knows the answer, and can help without raising suspicion.
- Size up, not down. If you're unsure between two sizes, order the larger — we offer a complimentary resize within 90 days.
- Consider the season. Fingers swell slightly in heat and shrink in cold. Size for her average condition.
- Hand dominance matters. The dominant hand's fingers are often a half-size larger than the other. The ring finger on the non-dominant hand is where engagement rings typically sit.
Still Unsure?
If measuring in secret isn't possible, we can size your ring based on the average for her height and build, with a complimentary resize available after the proposal. Many of our clients choose this approach — and the first thing we do after "yes" is send out the resize kit.
