Measuring your ring size
In the Boutique
If you are buying yourself a ring, put careful thought into the finger that you would like to wear your ring on. There are no rules, so before choosing your size of ring try out your new ring on various fingers.
Rings vary in shapes and widths so will all feel different. I would encourage anyone to come into the boutique and try them on. Middle fingers will offer more protection for rings with fragile larger stones, consider thumb or pinky finger rings for more durable designs.
Find your size at home
The easiest method to measure the size of your finger is by printing out our paper ring measurer. You can download using the button below.
Buying a ring for a gift or engagement
When discretion is required, finding out a ring size for a loved one becomes a challenging task! I have heard many an entertaining story involving bottle tops and even garden hose-pipes that have been the exact size of a fiancé-to-be's finger.
Cassandra's general rule of thumb is that the safest way of ensuring the ring will fit your loved one's finger is by secretly borrowing one of their rings. Even if you can only borrow the ring for a quick 5 minutes!
You can measure this ring against the printed ring measurer, wrapping it around the ring as if you were wearing it. Alternatively, if their ring fits one of your own fingers, you can take a photo of the ring on your finger from the front and back, which you can measure or we will measure for you at the boutique. Otherwise, you are welcome to borrow a ring stick from our boutique. Once home, secretly, drop a ring they like wearing onto the stick and take a photograph front and back or put tape just below the part that it rests at. Bring the stick back to us at the boutique and we'll be able to measure it for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! We will often have several sizes of our gold and silver rings in the boutique so can offer an exchange for the ring you have been gifted for the right size provided the ring has not been worn. Otherwise through our bespoke design work we can resize almost all of our rings.
Yes! We have been happy to help clients resize inherited pieces in our bespoke workshop. From a treasured grandfather's signet ring to a ring gifted to a new mother that she wanted to regift to her daughter on her 21st birthday.
Rings can always be resized for the most part, but it is generally not a good idea to keep sizing a gemstone ring up and down as there is a danger the stones will chip and the settings will become loose.
We recommend wearing a small ring as a "keeper" ring on the outside to stop your new ring from falling off. Alternatively, wrap a little piece of plaster around the back of the shank of the ring so you can wear your new ring until you can get it sized.
Yellow gold is generally the easiest metal to size, while white gold and platinum both need to be rhodium plated after resizing. This process requires the ring to be carefully polished first so that the surface is completely clean before plating, which is more costly.
