Be careful to buy jewelry on the internet

Whenever you are buying 925 silver rings and jewellery on the internet can be a bit of a hassle.Because you are not sure of your size.

Now you can use the following as a guide to help work out your size. Remember that all human beings are different and what is average for most may not be right for you.


The best way to go if you buy rings regularly is to buy a silver ring or sizer.
There are some very cheap rings on internate. Search for "Starharvest jewelry" or just "Starharvest" and you might be lucky and get one . No always available.
Simple and effective, worth every penny. There are more sophisticated ones around for more. Up to you. You could of course, go to a jeweller and ask. They all have ring gauges that will tell you quite accurately what ring size you are. Measure all your fingers you intend to wear rings on and make a note. Failing that, if you have a reasonable ruler (preferably callipers) you can measure the diameter of your existing ring then convert using one of the many "ring size" conversion charts available on the net. You do have to be very accurate as the slightest mistake will make a big difference in your result. Not really recommended.

I have found that you can use a bit if string or wire to get the circumference of your finger. If you can get a length of solder (use in electronics soldering), it works even better because it's soft, yet keeps it's shape. The length will be a measure of the internal diameter of the ring.

Make sure you take into account your knuckle when you do this AND the fact that your finger is not round. Again, not really recommended.
