Determine Ring Size With a Ring Size Chart.
Use a ring that fits you to determine your ring size. Place your ring over the nearest size circle. The inner edge of the ring should align with the outer edge of the circle. If your ring appears to fit between two sizes, buy the larger size.

Know When You Can Resize Rings
Most jewellers will conveniently readjust a ring by a size or two. An extreme adjustments can noticeably impact the look and structure of your jewellery.
Increasing the size of a gold or silver ring typically requires gently hammering the ring around a sizing shaft. This will cause the shank of the ring to thin slightly because of its density and strength.
In some rings the end result will not be perfectly round. To increase a ring more than one full size or to adjust a ring with stones, your
jeweller may prefer to make an incision in the ring to remove or insert extra metal. This adjustment may leave a visible seam or an invisible weak point, but a professional jeweller can position flaws out of sight by buffing or polishing the same.
