Finger Size & How to Size a Ring

Yes, you sure can! While it is best to visit one of our studios to have your ring size measured by one of our expert jewellers, you can also measure at home by using our Printable Larsen Ring Size Guide.

If you wear a ring or rings every day, they may seem to fit differently from season to season. This is because humidity and air temperature can change your finger size, making your ring seem looser or tighter than usual.

This is most noticeable on the warmest days in summer, when your fingers are at their largest due to swelling and your ring may feel tighter, or on the coldest days in winter, when your fingers are at their smallest and your ring may feel like it fits more loosely than usual.

In Australia, ring sizes are represented by letters of the alphabet, on a scale from A to Z+. There are also half sizes in between each letter.

You can convert your finger size from other scales by using our ring size chart, or by measuring the diameter of the finger in mm and comparing it to the Australian ring size scale.

Yes, most rings can be resized. However, there are some exceptions to this, such as titanium bands. Some rings may also be more complex to resize than others and resizes can vary in cost depending on the size of a ring and how much it needs to be resized.

Finger size and best ring fit varies from person to person, so it’s best to work with your individual size rather than relying on averages.

However, generally speaking, the average finger size for women is around a size L (16.5mm diameter) or M (16.88mm diameter), and the average finger size for men is around a size T (19.71 mm diameter) or U (20.12mm diameter).

Yes! Your finger size can change for a whole range of different reasons. For example, your finger size may change when you are pregnant. Weight gain or loss, certain health conditions, and even changes in climate can all contribute to a change in finger size.

This can often happen when an engagement ring is a surprise, and sometimes even if you did have your finger measured beforehand!

If the size of your ring is only slightly tight or loose, we recommend wearing it for a couple of weeks, to make sure it does need to be resized. This is because your fingers will change slightly in size throughout the day and in warmer or cooler weather. If you are not used to wearing something on your ring finger, it is best to be sure that it really is the wrong size. It isn’t advisable to resize a ring several times.

If your ring is much too tight or loose, or you decide you really would like the fit adjusted, don’t worry! We offer the first resize free for most engagement rings that we have made, so get in touch with us and our experienced jewellers will be able to assist.

If she wears a ring on her right hand ring finger, we can work out the size if you can sneak it in to us. Alternatively, you can try her ring on your finger and see where it fits. Or you can get a girlfriend to ask discreetly if she has ever had her finger sized. You could also draw around the inside of a ring, or tie a piece of string around her finger. These methods are not exact, but can give us a good idea. Even if it is not the perfect fit the first time, we include one free resize with our engagement rings to alleviate any problems. Please see our Re-size Policy for further details.
