Knuckle Clearance

Measure the Largest Joint

If your knuckle is noticeably larger than the base of your finger, measure both and pick a size midway between the two numbers.

Temperature Shift

Measure in the Evening

Fingers shrink in cold environments and swell in summer heat or during physical exertion. Measure at room temperature in the late afternoon.

Band Width Factor

Size Up for Wide Bands

Rings with wide bands (6mm or wider) feel tighter on the finger than delicate 2mm solitaire bands. Order a half size larger for wide bands.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

Expert answers regarding ring sizing, band comfort, and international conversions.

What is the safest size to buy if I am guessing an engagement ring size?

The average women's size is 6 to 6.5. If guessing, it is safer to buy slightly larger (such as a 6.5 or 7), as sizing a ring down is generally easier than sizing up.

Which hand and finger is an engagement ring worn on?

In the US, UK, and Canada, engagement rings are traditionally worn on the fourth finger (the ring finger) of the left hand.

Can all engagement rings be resized?

Solitaire and simple prong settings can easily be resized. Rings with diamonds set all the way around the band (eternity bands) cannot be resized.
