We encourage you to visit your local Jeweller and have your fingers professionally sized. Remember that all of your fingers will vary between sizes and your dominant hand will be larger than the other (so have the finger you intend to wear your ring on sized). 

As ring sizes are not universal and there may be slight variances between our sizing and other brands, please also ask for the internal measurement in mm.

You can order our ring sizer for $5 HERE
