How do I measure my finger size?

Finger size can change depending on the body's water balance, so we do not recommend measuring ring size when it fluctuates. When does this happen?
In the morning and evening
In the morning, there may still be some overnight swelling, and by the evening, the fingers are already swollen. The best time to try on a ring is in the middle of the day.
In heat or cold
Warm air causes fingers to swell, while cold makes them thinner.
It’s best to avoid measuring after a workout, during stress, on critical days, or when you're sick.
What else should you consider:
1. The size of the same finger on the right and left hand can differ, so it's important to measure the exact finger for which you're choosing the ring.
2. Ring width:
  • For rings up to 5 mm wide, choose the standard size.
  • For rings 6-8 mm wide, we recommend adding 0.3 to the standard size. For example, instead of 18, choose 18.3 (but let us know you've already accounted for the ring width).
  • For rings 9-12 mm wide, it's better to choose half a size larger.
Important: A narrow ring should fit snugly over the knuckle to prevent slipping, while a wider ring should easily pass over the knuckle without pressing, as it may become difficult to remove in the morning due to swelling.
In Ukrainian jewelry stores, the standard sizes of gold rings from domestic manufacturers range between 15 and 23, with increments of 0.5 mm. The most common women’s sizes are: 16, 16.5, 17, 17.5, and 18, while for men, the most common are 20, 20.5, 21, 21.5, and 22. However, we are all unique, so we can make any intermediate size for you, like 16.1 or 17.7.
In Ukraine, ring size is determined by the inner diameter, while in Europe, it is determined by the length of the inner circumference. To convert a Ukrainian size to a European one, multiply it by 3.14 (Pi). For reverse conversion, divide the European size by 3.14. However, this method is purely mathematical and does not account for individual finger characteristics, ring width, or the material from which it is made.

The European system is used in many countries, but in the USA and Canada, a 16-size scale is used, in Japan – 27 sizes, and in England, sizes are denoted by letters.

How to Determine Your Ring Size at Home:

  1. Using the Ring Sizer App
    Take a ring that fits you and place it on your smartphone screen, selecting the matching diameter of the ring's inner circle.

  2. Special Ring Sizing Belt
    You can order a ring sizing belt if you can't visit a jewelry store. The belt works like an adjustable strap, showing the size in the European system. Simply send us a photo or the value you got, and we will convert it to the required size.

  3. Measuring a Ring with Calipers
    Measure the inner diameter of a ring that fits you using calipers.

  4. The Pencil Tracing Method
    Trace the inner part of a ring on a piece of paper with a very sharp pencil and measure the inner diameter in millimeters – that is your size.

  5. Determining Size Based on Clothing Size
    If it's difficult to determine your exact size, try correlating it with your clothing size. Although this method is not precise, here are the approximate equivalents:
    • XS: 15.5-16.5
    • S/M: 16-17
    • M: 16.5-17.5
    • L: 17.5-18.5
    • XL: 18.5-20

  6. Ring Sizer in a Jewelry Store
    Visit any jewelry store to measure your finger size using a metal ring sizer. It's best to measure several times throughout the day for an accurate result. This method gives the size for a thin ring. If ordering a wide ring, let us know the method of measurement, and we will adjust for the width of the ring.
