How to find your ring size

Shopping online for jewelry is F-U-N!!  But shopping online for rings can be a pain if you don't know your ring size.  And if you're like most people, you probably don't have a ring sizer laying around.  Luckily finding your ring size without a sizer is fairly easy to do!

What do you need:
* A ring that fits you comfortably--the ring you measure with should be snug enough so that it will not fall off or slide around too much, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle
* A ruler, preferably one that measures in millimeters
* Ring size chart

Measuring your ring:
Using the ruler, measure the ring across the middle from the INSIDE of the band; measuring from the outside of the band will cause your new ring to be too large. 

If you're measuring a comfort ring, be sure to measure from the inner most part of the ring. 

If your ring falls in-between two sizes, it's better to go up a size to ensure the ring is not too small. 

TIP--take several measurements to ensure an accurate reading of your size.

An example of measuring the diameter of a ring.
The inside of this ring is just shy of 17mm making it a size 6 1/2.

Once you have your measurement, use the ring size chart to find your size!

That's all you need folks! Happy Shopping!
