How do I determine my ring size?
The most accurate sizing is determined by measuring the inner diameter of a ring that fits you well in millimeters. You can download and print the PDF and match the inside of that ring with one of the circles below. To make sure the scale is correct simply place a credit card at the line. If the card lines up, you’re all set. When your ring has been placed on the right size, you should see only the white circle inside your ring. If your perfect fit falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. Print PDF here

We also offer a ring sizing set that helps you to find the perfect size for your ring.
