Before you choose

Three ways to find your size.

Visit us for a fitting

A professional ring gauge is the most reliable starting point. Visit our Mansfield shop and ask our team to help you find a comfortable fit.

Plan your visit

Measure a ring you wear

Choose a round ring that fits the same finger and hand. Measure straight across the inside, from one inner edge to the other, in millimetres. Compare that inside diameter with the chart.

Do not include the metal band in your measurement. A small measuring error can change the suggested size.

Use a physical ring sizer

If you cannot visit, use a physical ring sizer and follow its instructions. Check the fit more than once, and ask us for help if you are between sizes.

Paper, string and on-screen circles are only rough guides and can easily give a misleading result.

The details matter

A comfortable fit is personal.

Allow for your knuckle

The ring should sit comfortably at the base of your finger and pass over the knuckle with a little resistance.

Consider the band width

A wide band can feel snugger than a fine band in the same size. Try a sizer with a similar width where possible.

Measure at a normal temperature

Very hot or cold hands can affect the result. Check at a comfortable temperature and repeat on another occasion.

Use the correct hand and finger

Your hands may differ in size. For a surprise gift, a ring worn on the intended finger is a more useful reference than a general average.

Expert help, before you order

Can your chosen ring be resized?

Resizing depends on the ring’s metal, design, stone setting and condition. Some designs, including certain full eternity rings, may not be suitable.

Where resizing is available online, the product page shows the options and any additional charge. If your required size is not offered, please contact us before ordering so we can check that particular ring.

Resizing or other alterations can affect dispatch time. Let us know if you have a particular date in mind.
