Ring Sizing Guide

Finding your perfect ring size is easier than you think. Use one of the methods below to measure at home, or visit our NYC showroom for a professional fitting.

Method 1: Measure an Existing Ring

This is the most accurate method if you already own a ring that fits the intended finger well.

  1. Place the ring on a flat surface.
  2. Measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters using a ruler.
  3. Use the chart below to find your size.

Method 2: Measure Your Finger

Use a strip of paper or a flexible measuring tape.

  1. Cut a thin strip of paper about 6 inches long and ½ inch wide.
  2. Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger you plan to wear the ring on.
  3. Mark where the paper overlaps with a pen.
  4. Measure the length in millimeters — this is your finger circumference.
  5. Use the chart below to find your size.

Tips for an Accurate Measurement

  • Measure your finger at the end of the day — fingers tend to be slightly larger in the evening.
  • Measure when your hands are warm. Cold fingers can be up to half a size smaller.
  • If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size in between.
  • For wide bands (over 6mm), consider sizing up by half a size.
  • When in doubt, go larger — it's easier to resize a ring down than up.
