How To Use A Ring Sizer

Among the many intimidating things online ring shopping presents is finding your ring size. How will you know a ring will fit without trying it on?

When you place an order with this option, a ring sizer gets shipped directly to your doorstep before we begin making your order. Not only are you able to find your ring sizer in the comfort of your own home, but we will also hold your place in our production line! Once you contact us with the size you need, we will update your order and begin production on your ring.

How To Use A Ring Sizer - Step by Step

Our ring sizer is incredibly intuitive to use. Below are a few simple steps on how to use a ring sizer.

1. Place the sizer on the finger you wish to measure by looping the sizer through the hole and pulling on the end to form a loop.

2. Tighten the loop around your finger until it is snug.

3. Adjust the tightness of the loop until you find a size that is comfortable. There should be some resistance with the sizer when sliding it past your knuckle. If you experience no resistance, then you likely have a size that's too big.

Once you have found the right placement for the sizer, read what the arrow on the line indicates. The line on the right side of a number indicates a full size whereas the line on the left side of a number indicates a half size.
