Received a ring that was too big ? Too small? Want a ring made for you but don’t know what size to ask for? It’s a common problem so here’s a guide to finding your ring size.
There are several ways, so read through and see which one will suit you.
Take a ring that already fits the finger you want the new ring for and measure very carefully the inside circumference in millimetres. Use this chart to give you a UK standard size then tell your jeweller what you require:
| Ring Size (UK) | Circumference (mm) | Ring Size (UK) | Circumference (mm) |
| A | 37.8 | N | 53.8 |
| B | 39.1 | O | 55.1 |
| C | 40.4 | P | 56.3 |
| D | 41.7 | Q | 57.6 |
| E | 42.9 | R | 58.9 |
| F | 44.2 | S | 60.2 |

Alternatively cut a strip of paper to approximately the same width of the desired ring band and fit it snuggly over the joint on the finger that you want to wear it on. Accurately mark on the paper where the join overlaps, then use this piece of paper to measure the inside circumference of your new ring. Do this late in the afternoon when your fingers are likely to be at their largest. Also if your hands are too hot or too cold when you measure the most comfortable ring size for you on a day to day basis will be not be accurately recorded.
You can also visit your friendly jeweller and have them measure your finger for you. If you need a ring altered most jewellers will be able to assist you.
