With or without a ring: two ways to find the right size

 

There are several ways to determine your ring size. One of the easiest and most reliable methods at home is to use a ring you already wear and compare its inside diameter with our printable ring size guide. If you don't have a suitable ring, you can also measure the circumference of your finger directly.

Method 1: Measure an existing ring with our printable guide

Print the ring size guide at actual size (100% scale), without automatic resizing. Use a ruler to check that the reference line measures exactly 5 cm.

Choose a ring that fits the same finger as your new piece of jewellery and place it over the printed circles. Find the circle whose outline fits entirely inside the ring, without any grey background showing. The number indicated corresponds to your French/EU ring size.

Method 2: Measure your finger with a strip of paper

If you don't have a ring available, wrap a thin strip of paper around the base of your finger without pulling it too tightly. Mark where the ends meet, then measure the length in millimetres using a ruler.

French ring sizes correspond to the inner circumference of the ring in millimetres. For example, a finger circumference of 54 mm corresponds to French size 54.

This method provides an estimate. Make sure your chosen ring will also slide comfortably over your knuckle.

 

Our tips for choosing the right ring size

Even with accurate measurements, a few simple precautions can help you avoid sizing mistakes and ensure a comfortable fit. Here are our diamond experts' recommendations for finding the right ring size.

When is the best time to measure your finger?

Finger size can vary slightly depending on temperature, physical activity and the time of day. For a more reliable measurement, we recommend measuring your finger towards the end of the day, at room temperature, and avoiding times when your hands are particularly cold or swollen.

Always measure the finger on the hand where you intend to wear your ring, as sizes may differ between your left and right hands.

What if you're between two ring sizes?

A properly fitted ring should slide over your knuckle comfortably while remaining secure on your finger. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choosing a slightly larger size may be appropriate, depending on the shape of your finger and the width of the band.

Wider rings can feel tighter than delicate bands. If you're unsure, we recommend having your ring size checked by a professional jeweller.

How can you find someone's ring size for a surprise?

Planning a surprise proposal or looking for the perfect diamond engagement ring? The easiest solution is to discreetly borrow a ring that your loved one already wears on the same finger and measure its inside diameter using our printable ring size guide.

You can also ask a close friend or family member for advice, or contact our diamond experts for personalised assistance.
