Size guide

How to measure

1. Cut a thin strip of paper, or use a piece of string.
2. Wrap it around the base of the finger you want the ring for.
3. Mark where the ends meet and measure the length in millimetres. That is your circumference.
4. Find the nearest circumference in the table. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger.

Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are at their largest, and not when your hands are cold. A ring for a wide band needs a slightly larger size.

The European size is the inside circumference in millimetres, as set out in ISO 8653. The UK size is a letter, one letter step being 1.25 mm of circumference.

How to measure

1. Bring your thumb and little finger together and tuck the thumb into the palm.
2. Wrap a tape or paper strip around the widest part of the hand, across the knuckles.
3. Divide that length by 3.14 to get the inside diameter a bangle needs.
4. Or measure the inside width of a bangle that already fits you, and match it to the table.

Bangles do not stretch, so the bangle must pass over the widest part of the hand. Traditional sizes are written 2.2, 2.4 and so on, meaning 2 and 2/8 inches.
