The correct ring size

How to work out the ring size without a ring:

First cut an 8 - 10 cm long, maximum 1 cm wide strip from a sheet of paper.

1. Wrap the strip lengthwise around your ring finger. Make sure that the strip is not too loose.
2. Mark the end of the overlap with a straight line.
3. Measure the marked route. The result in millimetres corresponds to your ring size.

Example: A length of 5.4 cm corresponds to ring size 54.

Perform control measurements to compensate for measurement fluctuations. Repeat steps 1 - 3 a few times and then work out the mean value of your measurements.

The thickness of our fingers varies throughout the day and at changing temperatures. In the morning the finger is thinner than in the evening; in winter and in a cold environment it is thinner than in the summer.

Also, in the course of the years and with pregnancy the circumference of the finger changes. The left and right ring fingers usually have different circumferences. And the phalanges is the widest part of the ring finger for most women.

Therefore, we recommend taking the measurements shortly before you order and - if possible - measure several times at different times of the day. This will give you a feeling for the circumference of the finger, which is crucial for a ring that's comfortable to wear.

For rings that have a (bigger) stone incorporated: preferably order a size that is a tiny bit smaller instead of bigger as the ring may otherwise start moving around your finger and turn to the sides. 

The wider the ringband, the more tight it shall feel around your finger. So in this case, preferably order a ring size that is a tiny bit bigger instead of smaller.
