Finger Sizing

If you would like the information short and sweet, read on.

If however you would like to get to "meet me" in a video for a more in depth and amusing tutorial on how to best figure your ring size, go here:

REGULAR FIT OR COMFORT FIT?

The top band in this picture is domed (rounded) on the outside - like a traditional wedding ring.

On the inside it is flat - like the inside of a paper towel tube for example.

The bottom ring is a comfort fit band that is domed on the outside but also rounded(curved) on the inside.
If you look at the palm of your hand - most likely there are indents where your finger meets your hand.
The rounding on the inside of a ring is meant to follow and fit into this indent(curve) in the base of your finger. Some people find this more comfortable -so the idea of this inside rounding being a "comfort fit". For people with large knuckles it can be a bit easier to slip a comfort style over the knuckle and so get a better fit.
Some people don't care either way and some don't like it. I suggest when you get your finger sized you might want to try on some comfort fit bands and see what you think.

How to size your finger

Getting the right size is crucial. We strongly suggest you visit a local jeweler and try on their standard ring sizing sets. They should have two different sets, a narrow and a wide set. Please give us both sizes for your finger, one from the wide and one from the narrow measurement. Ring sizing sets are measured in half sizes, but we can make your ring to a quarter size if desired. Ring sizing sets are measured in half sizes but we can make rings in quarter sizes. When you are trying on rings for size notice whether your hands are in a thicker, thinner or normal state for you at the time. (e.g. cold hands are usually a bit smaller than hot hands). In most cases it is easier to size a ring up a little bit after it is made. Some rings cannot be sized down later without risk of damage to set stones or other components of the ring. If in doubt please discuss your concerns with us before ordering a specific size. Surprise sizes; if you are buying a ring for someone whose size you do not know, please do everything you can to find out their size - put one of their rings (approximately the same width as the one you are ordering for them) on your finger and if it fits, have your finger sized. "Borrow" a ring of theirs and take it to a jeweler to size it. There is a minimum charge of $50.00 to resize a ring that you " guessed" on the size of, assuming it is possible to resize. Some rings are not resizable.
