Finding Your Ring Size

Need Help Finding Your Ring Size?

Whether you're buying a ring for yourself or for someone special, ordering the correct ring size may seem like a guessing game.

Not to worry though, we've provided some useful tips and tricks to help you find the correct size.

Ring Size & Ordering Information

When selecting a ring size on Riddlesjewelry.com, available size options will display on each product page and are typically women’s sizes 5–9 and men’s sizes 9–12, including half sizes. Due to manufactured rings cast at an industry standard of size 7 for women and size 10 for men, we may not have the size you selected in stock, even though the size you choose online will be processed. In this case, the normal time to resize and process your order will be 2-3 business days + shipping time.

  • How to Determine your Ring Size

    Finding the right ring size is not as simple as taking a measurement. Things to consider that may impact your decision are: an active lifestyle, a warmer climate, aerobic activity, and even pregnancy. Also, as we age, our knuckles may tend to swell slightly, and for men, wider bands and rings tend to run smaller. After considering these factors, you may decide to order a half size larger to insure a proper fit.

Sizing a Ring for Someone Else

Buying a ring for someone else? If possible, try and borrow a ring they currently wear for the finger they’ll wear it on and use our Printable Ring Size Chart and measure the inside diameter. Or, you can use a carrot as a substitute for the wearer’s finger. Simply slip the borrowed ring over the carrot, don’t force it, and mark the spot where the ring stops. Then wrap the Printable Ring Size Chart around the carrot above the marked spot for the approximate ring size.

  • Tips for Proper Measurement

    1. Verify that the printed Ring Sizer Guide matches a ruler

    2. After cutting out the ring sizer, pull it tight for an accurate size. You may need someone to help you to hold and read the measurement.

    3. Measure your finger later in the day, when it is at its largest. Avoid measuring when your fingers are cold.

    4. If you are using an existing ring and using the circle guides, make sure you measure using the inside diameter.

  • Ring Resizing

    Some rings and bands cannot be resized due to their unique metal composition. For example, bands with very hard metal like titanium cannot be altered and must be cast by the manufacturer. Platinum bands can only be sized a few sizes above or below the original casting size. Eternity bands are normally manufactured only in the standard sizes in order to maintain the ring’s strength and design integrity. Rings with intricate carving or ones with gemstones along the shank cannot be resized without adversely affecting their delicate design.

    If the ring you want needs to be resized, we are happy to adjust the size for you and process your request within 2-3 business days. Depending on the situation, there may be some cost. Please read Resizing Costs below for more information.

  • Ordering Non-Standard Sized Rings

    Some rings may come in a non-standard size depending on the physical design and manufacturer. However, a specific ring may not be available in the size you need on our website and custom sizing may be necessary. In this case, please contact us at 1-888-402-3475 or message us with your specific questions in regards to size and style. We can discuss availability and provide you with a quote and delivery options. Custom rings normally cost more than their standard equivalents due to the custom work required and for any additional materials needed, such as extra metal or the restructuring of the original design to allow for the size adjustment.
