DETERMINING YOUR RING SIZE

There are numerous factors that affect ring size besides actual finger measurement.

Firstly most rings are perfectly round, although fingers are not.

Secondly, the difference in size between finger joints and the place where a ring sits also affects the choice of ring size.

Third, fingers change size in response to body chemistry and temperature, sometimes by several sizes.

The size that is chosen is also affected by the specific ring. Wider rings and those in which a stone or setting projects toward the finger will require larger sizes than thinner rings, even for the same finger. Often, the best way and our recommendation to determine ring size is to visit us is store where we can take all your finger sizes and record them for any future purchases, or if that’s not possible visiting a local jewellery shop for a fitting.

Keeping this in mind, here is a method to help you determine your approximate ring size and a table showing the conversions between AUSTRALIAN and US sizing.

We use AUSTRALIAN sizing for all our rings.

Ring Size Guide

  1. Cut a strip of paper or string about 10cm long and about 2cm wide (or use our ruler below).
  2. Wrap the paper strip or piece of string around the widest part of the appropriate finger to measure the circumference. Often, this will be at a joint, but it may be in a number of locations and maybe different for each of your hands. You can use an old ring to help find the widest spot.
  3. Use a pen or pencil to mark the point on the paper where the ends of the paper strip overlap (form a complete circle). If you are using a piece of string simply cut the string where the ends overlap.
  4. Use a ruler to measure the length to the nearest millimetre.
  5. Find the closest measurement on the size chart to determine your ring size.
  6. Studio41 is in no way responsible for incorrect sizing due to use of this guide, as this is intended as a guide only.
  7. It is often far more accurate to take the measurements from a ring you may already have that fits the intended finger, keeping in mind that it’s round and not bent out of shape, as this will throw your measurements off.
