Finding Your Perfect Fit: A Guide to Ring Sizing

Finding the right ring size makes all the difference in comfort and wearability. A well-fitted ring should feel secure without restricting movement, sitting naturally on the finger throughout the day.

This guide walks you through practical ways to estimate your size at home, what to consider when choosing a band, and when to seek guidance from a jeweller.

What a Comfortable Fit Feels Like

A ring that fits well should slide over the knuckle with a gentle twist and rest comfortably at the base of the finger. It shouldn’t leave deep marks, feel tight, or spin loosely. Fingers naturally change in size throughout the day due to temperature, hydration, and activity, so a well-fitted ring allows for these variations—snug, but not restrictive.

How to Find Your Size and Measure at Home

The most reliable way to know your size is to visit a jeweller. In Wellington, you can also come to our studio for a personalised measurement and guidance on how different band widths and styles will feel.

If visiting a jeweller isn’t possible, there are easy ways to get an idea at home using a ring you already wear or a strip of paper or string. These methods aren’t exact but provide a helpful reference before ordering.

Using a ring you already own

• Place the ring on a flat surface.
• Measure the inside diameter at the widest point in millimeters.
• Compare this measurement to the chart below.

Using a strip of paper or string

• Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of the finger where the ring will sit.
• Mark the point where the ends meet.
• Measure the length in millimeters.
• Compare this measurement to the chart below.

This can provide a reference point when browsing designs, but it is not a substitute for a professional fitting.

How Style Affects Fit

The shape and width of a band influence how a ring feels, even at the same numerical size:

• Delicate bands: Slimmer rings tend to feel looser, and a slightly smaller size can feel comfortable.

• Wider bands: Broader designs cover more of the finger and can feel tighter. Often, a half-size increase ensures comfort.
