How To
Measuring at Home
You will need a thin strip of paper, a pen, and a ruler. Measure in the evening when fingers are at their largest, and avoid measuring when cold.
Use a strip of paper
Cut a thin strip of paper approximately 10 cm long and 0.5 cm wide.
Wrap around your finger
Wrap the paper snugly around the base of the finger you intend to wear the ring on. Mark where the paper overlaps.
Measure the length
Lay the paper flat and measure the length in millimetres from the end to your mark. This is your circumference.
Find your size
Match your circumference measurement to the chart above. If between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size.
Important: Ring size can vary by up to half a size depending on temperature and time of day. We recommend measuring 2–3 times and taking the average. If you are between sizes, always choose the larger size.

Ask a trusted friend or family member
A close friend or sibling may already know the size, or can help you find out discreetly.
