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.
