Choosing the right ring size is key to complete satisfaction with your jewelry – comfort, stone safety, and aesthetics all depend on proper fit. The Venetia Jewels team has prepared a detailed guide that will guide you step-by-step through the entire process.
1. Measuring the diameter of your existing ring
The easiest and most accurate way is to use jewelry that already fits perfectly.
-
Place the ring on a ruler or caliper, making sure it is perfectly horizontal.
-
Read the inside diameter in millimeters (mm); it is worth noting any fractions of a millimeter.
-
Compare the result with the size chart available at: https://venetiajewels.pl/pages/tabela-rozmiarow .
2. Measuring the finger circumference
If you don't have a suitable ring or need confirmation of the result, it's worth measuring your finger.
-
Wrap the finger (right next to the joint) with a narrow, non-elastic ribbon or a strip of paper.
-
Mark the point where the materials meet.
-
Unwind the ribbon and measure its length in millimeters.
-
Refer the result to the table to obtain the corresponding number.
- Temperature and time of day – factors that are easy to forget
Fingers naturally change circumference depending on:
-
Temperatures – swell in heat, shrink in cold.
-
Daytime – They are usually thinner in the morning, slightly wider in the evening.
It is worth taking several measurements at room temperature, at different times of the day, to average the results.
- Ring width and size
Wider styles (over 6 mm) may require a half-size, or sometimes even a full size, larger to fit comfortably across the joint. It's worth keeping this in mind when choosing a wedding ring or chunky jewelry.
- Size up instead of down - safety rule
If you're hesitating between two sizes, it's better to choose the larger one. Reducing the ring size later—especially one with stones—is usually easier and safer than enlarging it.
- Use the size chart
A complete, easy-to-read table of diameter and circumference correlations with numbering is available here: https://venetiajewels.pl/pages/tabela-rozmiarow . It includes both the standard European numbering and the corresponding values in millimeters.
By following the above recommendations, you can easily choose the perfect ring size, ensuring comfort and avoiding subsequent adjustments. If you have any further questions, the Venetia Jewels team is available to help – please contact us.
