A ring should hold the finger without pinching or slipping, and a bracelet should sit comfortably without sliding off. Here is how to measure both at home and get the size right the first time.

How to measure ring size at home
If you have a ring that fits the right finger, the simplest method is to measure it. If not, you can measure the finger itself. Here’s how:
Method 1: Measuring an existing ring
- Take a ruler with millimeter markings
- Place the ring on a ruler and measure the inner diameter (edge to edge)
- Compare to the table below to find the size
Method 2: Measuring the finger
- Cut a paper strip 10 cm long and about half a cm wide
- Wrap it around the finger you want to wear the ring on, not too tight
- Mark the meeting point with a pen
- Measure the length from the start to the mark in mm; this is the finger’s circumference
- Divide the number by 3.14 (pi) to get the inner diameter

How to measure bracelet size
Measuring a bracelet is simpler than measuring a ring, but it still requires precision: a bracelet that’s too tight is uncomfortable, and one that’s too loose may slip off your hand.
- Take a flexible measuring tape (the kind seamstresses use)
- Wrap it around your wrist, exactly where you’d like to wear the bracelet
- Note your wrist circumference in cm
- Add 1-2 cm so the bracelet sits comfortably (less = snug; more = loose)
- Compare to the table below
Bracelet size table
| Wrist circumference (cm) | Recommended bracelet length (cm) | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| 14–15 | 16–17 | Children / very thin wrist |
| 15–16 | 17–18 | Women, delicate wrist |
| 16–17 | 18–19 | Women, average |
| 17–18 | 19–20 | Men, women with a wide wrist |
| 18–19 | 20–21 | Men, average-wide |
| 19–21 | 21–23 | Men, wide wrist |
Tips for getting an accurate size
Measure in the evening. Fingers and hands are slightly more swollen in the evening than in the morning. An evening measurement gives a more realistic size for most hours of the day.
Don’t measure when your hands are cold. In the cold, fingers contract, and the size you measure will be too small. Wait until your hands return to normal temperature.
Measure 2–3 times. If the results differ, go with the largest of the three.
Pay attention to weight changes. Body weight changes, and with it finger size. If you’re in a period of change, wait for it to stabilize, or ask us to leave room for a future adjustment.
Consult. If you’re not sure, visit us at the factory store, we’ll measure precisely with professional tools, at no cost.
