Ring Size Chart and Sizing Guide

Finding the right ring size is about more than a number. Fingers naturally fluctuate with temperature, time of day and other changes in the body, and the width and shape of a ring can affect how it feels when worn.

For the most accurate fit, we always recommend having the finger professionally measured. If that isn’t possible, you can use a ring that already fits well to find your size at home.

If you’re unsure, please get in touch. We’re always happy to help guide you.

AUSTRALIAN RING SIZE CHART

Australia and the United Kingdom use a lettered ring sizing system. The chart below can be used to compare your Australian size with international sizing systems, as well as the corresponding inner diameter and circumference in millimetres.

Ring sizing can vary slightly between measuring tools and jewellers, so we recommend using the chart as a guide rather than relying on a conversion alone.

FINDING YOUR RING SIZE

HAVE YOUR FINGER PROFESSIONALLY MEASURED

Where possible, we recommend having your finger measured by a jeweller using professional ring sizers.

Make sure you have the finger and hand you intend to wear the ring on measured, as sizing can differ between fingers and between hands.

The style of ring matters, too. Wider bands tend to feel more snug than finer bands, while finger shape, knuckles and rings worn together as a stack can all influence the most comfortable fit.

If you're visiting the Eloise Falkiner studio for a bespoke consultation, we can assess your size and the fit of your chosen design as part of the process.

USING A RING THAT ALREADY FITS

If you have a ring that fits comfortably on the correct finger:

1. Place the ring flat and measure its inner diameter in millimetres. Measure through the centre of the ring, from inside edge to inside edge.
2. Take a few measurements across different points of the ring to check for consistency.
3. Compare the measurement with the inner diameter shown in our sizing chart above.

Be sure to use a ring worn on the same finger and hand as the new ring.

MEASURING YOUR FINGER AT HOME

If you aren't able to have your finger professionally measured or measure an existing ring, you can estimate your size using a strip of non-stretchy paper.

1. Wrap the paper snugly around the base of the finger. It should feel secure without being tight.
2. Mark the point where the paper overlaps.
3. Lay it flat and measure the length in millimetres. This is the circumference of your finger.
4. Compare this measurement with the circumference shown in the chart above.

This method has more room for error than professional sizing or measuring an existing ring, so we recommend using it only as a guide.

WHEN TO MEASURE

Fingers naturally change throughout the day and with temperature. For a more reliable measurement, measure towards the end of the day at a comfortable room temperature, and take two or three readings to check for consistency.

A well-fitting ring should pass over the knuckle with gentle resistance and sit comfortably at the base of the finger without spinning loosely or requiring force to remove.

CONSIDER THE WIDTH OF YOUR RING

Ring width can change the way a size feels.

A wider band contacts more of the finger and will generally feel more snug than a fine band in the same size. As a guide, bands between 5–7 mm may require approximately half a size larger, while bands 8 mm and wider may require an additional half to full size.

These are guidelines rather than absolute rules. If you're choosing a wider ring or are between sizes, please contact us and we can advise you based on the particular design.

CHOOSING A RING AS A SURPRISE

If the ring is a surprise, try borrowing a ring they already wear comfortably on the same finger and hand and measure its inner diameter using the instructions above.

If that isn't possible, someone close to them may be able to help you estimate their size.

Some Eloise Falkiner rings are easier to adjust than others, so if you're unsure, get in touch before ordering. We can help you choose the most appropriate size based on the design.

WHAT IF I'M BETWEEN SIZES?

There isn't one rule that works for every ring.

The width, design and construction of the piece all affect whether it is preferable to size slightly up or down. Some designs can be gently adjusted after making, while rings with stones, engraving or detailing around the band may have more limited resizing options.

If you fall between two sizes, contact us before ordering and we'll help you determine the best option for your chosen ring.

WHAT IF MY RING DOESN'T FIT?

Most rings can be resized, although what is possible will depend on the design, stones, detailing and the amount of adjustment required.

If your ring doesn't feel quite right when it arrives, please contact us and we'll talk you through the available options.

HOW MUCH DOES RING RESIZING COST?

Resizing starts at $200, with the final cost confirmed once we have inspected the piece.

The cost will depend on the design, material and amount of adjustment required. Some alterations require additional metal or more extensive work and will therefore cost more.

CAN EVERY RING BE RESIZED?

Not every design can be resized in the same way.

Rings with stones, engraving or patterning around the band can be limited in how much they can be altered. If you're unsure about your size when ordering one of these designs, please contact us first so we can help you find the best fit.

SIZING FOR A BESPOKE PIECE

For a commissioned ring, finding the right size is part of the design process.

Where possible, we'll measure your finger in person and consider the width, shape and intended fit of the piece. If the ring is a surprise, we'll work with whatever information you're able to bring us and help determine the best approach.
