Find the correct ring size - it's easy!

To ensure that the ring also fits properly and is worn with pleasure, the selection of the right ring size is crucial. Also cumbersome back and forth, exchange and costs can be avoided from the outset. To measure the appropriate ring size, there are several ways:

Measure an existing ring

A well-fitting ring is simply put on a so-called ring bar (also called ring stick). The one of the printed numbers located at the bottom of the ring is the ring size.

 

Measure the circumference of finger

Take a strip of paper about 5mm wide and wrap it around your finger. Mark on the paper the place where the edge meets the paper. The distance between the edge and the mark is the inner diameter of the ring and using the table below, you can measure the ring size. However, this method is quite unreliable and does not look very professional in jewelry sales.

 

Measuring the size by a Mandrel

The professional mandrel consists of various metal rings in all common sizes. By trying out the individual rings, the appropriate ring is determined. On the individual metal rings is the respective ring size.
