Yes - Ring Size Does Matter!

How to Work Out Your Ring Size: A Guide from Jax Goldsmith

At Jax Goldsmith, we understand that finding the perfect ring goes beyond choosing the right design. One of the most important steps in ensuring your new ring fits beautifully is knowing your correct ring size. A well-fitting ring should feel comfortable, secure, and complement your finger perfectly. Here’s a guide to help you determine your ring size with ease.

Why Ring Size Matters

A ring that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and difficult to remove, while one that’s too loose may

fall off easily. Both scenarios are far from ideal, especially when investing in a piece of jewelry that’s meant to last a lifetime. Whether you're buying a ring for yourself or someone else, knowing the right size ensures a hassle-free and enjoyable experience.

Measuring Your Ring Size at Home

If you’re wondering how to find your ring size from the comfort of your home, we’ve got you covered. Here are some easy methods you can try using everyday items:

1. Use a String or Strip of Paper

• Cut a piece of string or paper that's about 10 cm long.

• Wrap it around the base of your finger, where you want the ring to sit.

• Mark the point where the two ends meet with a pen or marker.

• Lay the string or paper flat and measure the length with a ruler in millimeters.

• Use a size chart to find the corresponding ring size based on your measurement.

Pro Tip: Make sure the string or paper can slip over your knuckle, as it needs to pass over this part of your finger to fit properly.

2. Use a Ring You Already Own

If you have a ring that fits you well, you can measure its diameter to find your size.

• Take a ruler and measure the internal diameter of the ring (not including the edges) in millimeters.

• Compare the measurement with a ring size chart to determine your size.

This method is particularly helpful if you're buying a ring as a gift and want to ensure it fits perfectly.

Important Tips to Consider

While measuring your ring size at home is easy, there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure accuracy:

• Time of Day Matters: Your fingers can swell throughout the day due to factors like temperature and activity levels. It's best to measure your ring size in the evening when your fingers are slightly swollen. This ensures a comfortable fit throughout the day.

• Consider the Ring’s Width: Wider rings tend to feel tighter than thinner rings. If you’re choosing a wider band, you may need to go up a half size to ensure a more comfortable fit.

• Measure Multiple Times: For the most accurate result, measure your finger a couple of times over the course of a few days. This helps account for any fluctuations in finger size due to temperature or hydration.
