Ring
Size info
Sizes are expressed in American Ring Sizes.
The ideal size will fit comfortably and be tight enough to prevent
the ring from accidentally falling off.
If size is unknown, the best and most accurate way of measuring
is by visiting a local jeweler. Jewelers use a set of graduated
rings to determine ring size. The sizing rings should be of approximately
the same width as desired titanium ring: wider rings (8mm or more
for average sized ring) tend to require larger sizes, up to a half
size more. Rings you have that fit comfortably can also be brought
along for sizing. All our rings are made with Comfort Fit
: the inside edges being rounded for a smooth fit.
It has been reported that some jewelers tell clients, for reasons
unknown to us, to choose a larger size for titanium rings. This
is not the case, do not choose a larger size, except if, as mentionned
above, your ring width is large. In fact, it is often better to
choose a ¼ size smaller as our rings are all made with comfort fit,
which tends to provides a slightly looser fit.
Finger size changes with temperature and time of day: fingers tend
to expand slighlty in the morning, shrinking back during the day
and evening. Midday is a good time to measure accurately. Also,
sizing techniques and readings are known to vary slightly from one
jeweler to another: visiting different jewelers and averaging out
size readings will reduce the chance of a missize.

These
comparisons are as correct as possible although we cannot guarantee
complete accuracy.
The American sizes are based on numbers 1 - 15, with half sizes
and quarter sizes (eg. 6.5, 8.25). One half size US is roughly equivalent
to one whole size UK.
In the UK, sizes are measured by alphabetical letter A - Z although
it is often necessary to go above size Z by appending ' Z+1, Z+2,
Z+3,' etc. The sizes are evenly spaced with half sizes (eg. M½ )
in between.
The European (EU) sizes are based on the inner circumferential measurement
of the ring in millimeters. This is the only really logical system
as UK and US sizes do not bear any sensible relationship to actual
linear measurements.
Japanese sizes (JP) are a numerical system based on ring diameter
- one division being one third of a millimeter, starting with size
1 at 13 mm inside diameter. Small and medium ring sizes correspond
closely with European ring sizes.
The Russian (and Ukranian) sizes are based on inner diameter of
the ring in millimeters.
