How To Find Your Finger Size

Universal Ring Finger Sizes...

When you purchase any ring over the Internet, one of the most concerning problems is when it comes to Ring Finger Sizes. This should NOT BE SO....

Our first piece of advice is to consult your local 'Friendly' Jeweler.

He or She (don't tell them you are buying elsewhere, or they won't be so 'friendly), should be able to measure your finger and tell you what size you are. It's then a simple matter of using the table listed here: Ring Finger Size Chart to get your size in any of the other International or Universal Ring Finger sizes mentioned...

Another easy method is to take a length of string or strip of ribbon (a small slip of paper will do) and wrap it around the finger, marking it with a pen where the ribbon overlaps. You will find more details below...

Lay that out and measure in either 16ths of an inch, or in millimeters (the latter is more accurate for those clients from countries which use the Metric system).

Remember the ring has to get over the knuckle, so make a slight allowance for that. Also bear in mind that your 'Favored' hand (Right for a right handed person etc) is likely to be slightly larger than your other hand, so measure the finger you want the ring for.

Your hand may vary by up to 5 sizes, finger by finger, one size at a time.

You can also use a Paper or Plastic 'Hole Gauge' which are sometimes freely available from your local Jeweler or 'Mail Order Catalogue. These can be very effective, but you can make one for yourself if you want.

Just use the measurements from the Universal Ring Finger Sizes table.

Your fingers also swell and change day by day and hour by hour, depending what activities you are doing, so don't measure your finger after coming from the Gym or doing the Gardening as this can throw off the measurement by at least a couple of sizes.

Hot weather too can make your fingers puff up too.

The number one rule is... DON'T PANIC..!

Australian clients please note: we use the UK system. It really should be very simple, so don't complicate it, okay?

If you follow this advise you should end up with a perfect fit. If not, the worst that could happen is you wear it on another finger.

This Universal Ring Finger sizes table should help though, plus there are tables INSIDE the Jewelry Appraisals Online system to help you with your personal appraisal.

The last alternative is to ask your local Jeweler to resize it for you. He will charge, but he'll be VERY Friendly. Honest!

Jewelry hallmarks

Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.

I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...

Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...
