Ring Sizing

Measurement

Rings are measured with a standardized Wheatsheaf measuring stick.

The reading is taken at the centre, with a tolerance of one quarter of a size. Always check if the size is centre, leading edge or trailing edge.

Please note that half-sizes are also possible.

Re-Sizing

When you want to buy a ring as a surprise, estimating the correct size is complicated at times. It is tricky to ask for the measurement, but could be taken from an unused ring.

Note that the measurement are in fractions of a millimetre.

After manufacturing and delivery to the client, we offer a re-sizing service within 14 days period, to satisfy the client, under the following conditions:

1. Sterling Silver, plain or with gemstone settings, free-up to 1 size,

2. 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct gold alloys (plain bands & solitaires) - free-up to 2 sizes,

3. 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct (pave, cluster & channel set rings) - free-up to 1 size,

4. Platinum and Palladium (plain bands & solitaires) - free-up to 2 sizes, and

5. Platinum and Palladium (pave, cluster & channel set rings) - free-up to 1 size.

Outside the above provisions, some charges will apply.

Take note that gemstones are very sensitive to heat, when adjustment soldering is done.

Stripping from the setting, and re-setting stones to restore the jewellery, will attract additional costs. We will of course keep you informed of the situation, process and progress.

Also, if the jewellery requires additional metal (in case of enlarging / sizing-up), we will cost it and update you of the impact on the re-sizing price.

Ring Sizing Chart for South African, UK and American

Fingers size does change between seasons, and even between mornings and evenings.

The Selection Chart will assist you to determine your ring size at home, by measuring the circumference of the ring finger, using a string and ruler (or with the Ring Sizer, as used by Jewellers)

1. Take 10 cm of string and wrap it around the base of your ring finger,

2. Mark where the string first overlaps with a pen,

3. Stretch the length of string out along a ruler, or measuring tape, and take down the length in millimeters,

4. Use the ring size chart to compare your measurement to the standard ring sizes,

Take note:-

1. Sizes go up by 0.4 millimeters every half-size, e.g. a size 3 ring is 14 mm, a size 3.5 ring is 14.4 mm.

2. For women, the most common ring sizes are 6 (16.5 mm), 6.5 (16.9mm), and 7 (17.3 mm),

3. For men most common sizes are 10 (19.8mm), 10.5 (20.2 mm), and 11 (20.6 mm).
