How to Find Out Your Ring Size
This is a frequently asked question from both people shopping for rings for themselves or proposing partners. How do you find your ring size? We can help with that!
The main goal for sizing is to make sure the ring fits comfortably at the base of your finger with a bit of effort going over your knuckle. Trying on multiple sizes can help you narrow in on your ideal size.
Chicago Locals:
You can visit our storefront during our business hours to have your finger sized, no appointment is necessary and our concierge team can size your finger and answer any questions you have about fit. We have a sizer for narrower band styles as well as a wider sizer for those looking for wide wedding bands.
Remote Clients:
While there are a variety of ring sizing tips and tricks on the internet to size your finger at home, we would recommend going to a local professional jeweler near you to have your finger sized properly. If you are looking to purchase a wider band, please let the person sizing you know so they can use their wide sizer to get a more accurate measurement.
We offer full, half, and quarter sizes on our website and in store to help you get a perfect fit. There are a couple other things to keep in mind when sizing your finger….
—Fingers fluctuate! Your finger will not always be the same size throughout the day and throughout the seasons. Warm weather, higher altitudes, exercise and medicine can cause fingers to swell. Consuming alcohol and salty foods also cause fingers to swell.
—Not all rings fit the same on all fingers. Everyone has different finger composition that can cause rings to fit differently. Some people have larger knuckles and a narrower finger base. Others have a slender knuckle and a larger base of their finger. Finding a good fit can be difficult and on occasion people will need sizing beads or need to wear a ring guard sometimes.
—Narrow bands fit differently than wide bands. We notice that wider bands tend to be one finger size larger than a narrow band to fit comfortably. This is because there is more metal in contact with your finger on a wide band and therefore can feel snug in your usual size.
—Rings can be sized over time! If you are unsure of your ring size, your partner’s ring size, or how your finger may change in the future, we suggest choosing the most comfortable fit for your body now. We can resize your piece up or down in the future for a fee depending on your sizing needs over time.
—If you are proposing and have no idea what your partner’s ring size is, we would recommend taking a ring of theirs to a jewelry store to check the size. Even if it’s not worn on their ring finger, it can give the jeweler an idea of a starting point for what their ring finger size may be.
