How To Determine Ring Size When Shopping Online?
Online shopping has made our lives convenient, but it will be a challenge when comes to purchasing something as valuable as jewelry – it’s hard to be sure of the fit without trying it on!
MollyJewelryUS totally understands your concerns, so we make this guide to help you make the decision easier.
Before you read any further, please know that our ring sizing follows the standard United States size chart. There are two ways to determine sizing, either by judging the inner diameter of the ring or by measuring the circumference of the finger.
1) Measure the inner diameter
- If you already have a ring that fits perfectly: Measure the inside diameter of the ring by placing a ruler above or below, making sure the ruler is in the center of the circle.
- If you use a metallic or plastic ring size kit, make sure you find the one that makes you feel a little bit tight. Then, pick it out, and measure the inside diameter.
* Please send us a photo of this, we will assist you in choosing the correct size!
2) Measure the circumference of the finger
If you do not have a ring, and totally have no idea of your ring size: Use a strip of paper or a piece of string around your finger and mark the overlap. Then, take it off, make sure it is straight, and measure from the beginning to the overlap.
* The following methods are usually used as a secondary reference, as the measurements are usually 1-3 sizes larger than the actual size. Please measure multiple times to ensure errors are minimized. Additionally, please let us know height and weight as a reference if you intend to use this method.
* If you can send us a photo of how you measured that would be best, if not, please send us a photo of the measuring strip or string.
* If you can send us a photo of how you measured that would be best, if not, please send us a photo of the ruler on the strip!
* If you use this kind of ring sizer, please follow the above as well – use a ruler to measure the exact length, take pictures, and send them to us.
NOTE: If you are measuring at home, sending us pictures of your measuring process is a very important step. If you are going to visit a jeweler for the sizing, please ask them to let you know the bandwidth they usually use, as the width will affect the ring sizes.
Please kindly understand that a ring with a narrow band will fit slightly larger on the same size, while a ring with a wider band will fit more snugly. The reasoning is simple: the more metal on your finger, the more space it takes up and the tighter it will fit.
