Ring size guide
Rings are made to a fraction of a millimetre, so it is worth measuring twice. Two minutes with a ring you already own or a strip of paper is all it takes.
How to measure at home
- 01
Measure an existing ring
Choose a ring that already fits the finger you have in mind and measure its inside edge, straight across the centre. Measure in millimetres and read the diameter against the chart below.
- 02
Or measure your finger
Wrap a narrow strip of paper or a piece of non-stretchy string around the base of the finger, snug but able to slide over the knuckle. Mark where it meets, lay it flat and measure the length in millimetres — that is the circumference.
- 03
Check the fit at the time of day you wear it
Fingers are at their largest in the evening and in warm weather, so measure in the afternoon rather than first thing in the morning.
- 04
Size the widest point
If the knuckle is wider than the base of the finger, measure the knuckle — the ring has to pass over it. A wide band also feels tighter than a fine one; go up half a size if you are between sizes and choosing a wide band.
Ring size chart
Read your measurement against the chart: the inner diameter if you measured a ring, the circumference if you measured your finger.

Veloura rings are sold in US sizes. UK and EU sizes are given for reference — conversions vary slightly between makers.
Choosing between sizes
Between two sizes? Choose the larger of the two. A ring that is slightly loose sits more comfortably than one that is tight.
The knuckle should have a gentle resistance when the ring goes on, and the ring should not turn freely on its own once in place.
Measure at a normal room temperature — cold hands measure up to half a size smaller than warm ones.
If you are choosing a ring as a gift and are unsure of the size, write to us and we will help you choose, or arrange the piece with a size confirmation before it is made.
Still unsure?
Tell us the size you usually wear and the finger the ring is for, and we will confirm the right size before your piece is made.
