Why the correct ring size is crucial
Not sure what ring size you have? Our ring guide will help you find the right ring size.
Method 1: Determine ring size using a suitable ring
If you already own a ring that fits you perfectly, you can easily use it as a reference for your ring size.
Here's how to proceed:
- Place the ring on a ruler or measuring tape.
- Measure the inner diameter of the ring in millimeters, i.e., the distance from the inner edge to the opposite inner edge.
- Note the value and compare it to the ring size chart below.
For example: If your ring has an inner diameter of 17.2 mm, this corresponds to ring size 54 (circumference in mm).
Tip: It's best to measure several times, and only the inner surface, to ensure you have the exact measurement. Even 0.3 mm can make a difference.
Method 2: Measure ring size with a strip of paper or thread
If you don't have a suitable ring handy, you can also determine your size directly on your finger.
Directions:
- Take a thin thread or a narrow strip of paper.
- Wrap it once around the part of your finger where you want the ring to sit later.
- Mark the point where the ends overlap.
- Then measure the length between the markings with a ruler.
The measured value corresponds to the circumference of your finger in millimeters. You can directly compare this to the appropriate ring size.
Example: A circumference of 56 mm corresponds approximately to size 56.
Extra tip: Make sure the thread is neither too loose nor too tight when measuring. The ring should fit comfortably over the joint.
Method 3: Determine ring size using a ring template
The most accurate method is measuring with a ring sizer, which you can print out or order as a ring sizer. You can use it multiple times and get very precise results, ideal if you regularly wear or give jewelry as a gift.
Simply place one of your rings on the template or try different sizes until you find the right one.
Important: When printing a template, make sure the printer is set to 100% scaling, otherwise the scale will be incorrect.

Here you can easily find your ring size. If you are between two ring sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one – especially for wider ring bands or designs with a fixed shape.

Factors influencing your ring size
Your ring size can change slightly throughout the day. This is completely normal and depends on various factors:
- Temperature: Fingers expand slightly when warm and contract when cold.
- Time of day: In the morning, the fingers are usually a little slimmer, in the evening slightly swollen.
- Movement: After exercise or prolonged walking, blood flow increases – the fingers become slightly thicker.
- Water balance: Salty meals or insufficient fluid intake affect blood circulation.
For the most accurate measurement, measure your ring size in the afternoon when your hands are in their natural shape, or several times a day. Keep in mind that your ring size may differ between your left and right hand.
What is the most common ring size for women?
For women, the most common ring sizes are between 52 and 56. These sizes fit the majority of wearers – however, it can vary slightly depending on finger shape, ring width and personal comfort.
If you choose a wide or solid ring, you should generally choose a half size larger.
Finding the right ring size for different designs
Not every ring fits the same, even if the number is identical. The fit also depends on the shape of the ring band, the material, and the design.
- Narrow rings often feel a bit looser.
- Wider designs or rings with a distinctive surface sometimes require a larger size.
- Stainless steel rings are dimensionally stable; they do not stretch, therefore the size should be chosen precisely.
- Gold-plated rings retain their shape and shine, even with regular wear, provided they fit well.
When buying, make sure the ring fits comfortably - slightly noticeable, but not too tight.
Measurement tips for your perfect result
To ensure your measurement result, and therefore your ring size, is as accurate as possible, you can follow these simple tips:
- Try several times: Ideally at different times of day.
- Include the knuckle: The ring should fit over the knuckle without too much resistance.
- Check both hands: The fingers on the dominant hand are often slightly stronger.
- Consider the material: stainless steel or gold-plated models cannot be adjusted later – it's better to measure one more time.
- Pay attention to finger shape: If you have a narrow base and a wide knuckle, choose half a size larger.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Ring Size
I am between two sizes. Which size should I choose?
If you are between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger one.
I don't have a string or ruler to hand.
No problem. Instead of a string, you can simply use a strip of paper. Instead of a ruler, you can use a digital solution for measuring, such as an app. Of course, the easiest way is with a tape measure.
I made a mistake with the ring size. Can I exchange my ring?
You can simply return your ring within 30 days and order a new ring in the right size.
When is the ideal time to measure the ring size?
As your fingers can vary in width throughout the day due to various factors, we recommend that you measure your fingers once in the morning and once in the evening.
How do I find my size if I want to buy a gift?
If you can't measure the size directly, use a ring the person already wears as a guide. Alternatively, a jeweler or goldsmith can determine the size based on a photo or sample ring.
Does ring size change over time?
Yes, slightly. Weight fluctuations, temperature, and even hormones can have an effect. That's why it's normal for a ring that used to fit perfectly to feel a little different at some point.
Is it possible to have a stainless steel ring resized?
Stainless steel is very durable and generally cannot be resized afterwards . Therefore, accurate measurement before purchase is particularly important.
Are there differences between various ring designs?
Yes, wider rings or models with a solid band can fit more snugly than narrower rings. For delicate rings , the standard size is often sufficient, while you might need a different size for statement designs. Also, pay attention to the material: stainless steel or gold-plated rings don't stretch, so the size is especially important.
What are the most common ring sizes for women?
The most common sizes for women's loungers are between 52 and 56 (EU). These are the sizes that correspond to most finger shapes and fit most of our customers well.
