Ring Sizing Guide
SELECTING A RING SIZE
Your ring size can vary by up to a size in any given day due to various factors including how your body reacts to exercise, heat, humidity, and water retention. When a ring fits correctly it should feel comfortable, be firm but not uncomfortably snug when hands are warm and not so loose when hands are cold or wet as to create a danger of it slipping over the knuckle without assistance. The style of ring is also a factor as a ring with a wide band may need to be a little bigger than a ring with a finer band.
Ideally, we recommend having your finger sized by a professional to ensure you have the most accurate sizing. We understand that this may not always be possible, particularly if the ring is a surprise. Please contact our friendly team for advice on selecting or estimating a ring size. Keep in mind that ring size measurements can vary across countries and depending on the measurement instruments used. If you've had a ring size taken outside of New Zealand, please mention this to our team so they can check sizing. Alternatively, you can gauge ring size by measuring the inside diameter of an existing ring. To do this take a ring that is worn on the same finger that the new ring will be worn on and draw around the inside circumference. Next measure the diameter of the circle you have drawn. This measurement can then be used when crafting the ring or you can convert it to the letter size using the ring sizing chart below. It's better to estimate slightly larger than smaller as there's nothing worse than receiving a beautiful ring that you can’t try on because it's too small.Â
Don’t worry if it doesn’t fit quite right–- in most cases we can resize your ring up/down up to two sizes if you contact us within 60 days. Please note that due to the complexity and meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every ring we make, resizing can only be done by a Village Goldsmith jeweller and all warranties will be voided if you have your ring resized elsewhere.
