With the recent launch of the new workshops to make your own wedding rings we were super excited to find out about our feature in Absolute Magazine. You’ll find it in the wedding planning section of this edition and is available Sussex wide.

A summary of the workshop

In my ring workshop couples can come and create their own wedding rings using white gold, rose gold, yellow gold or sterling silver. There’s the option to combine different metals, personalise and/ or add textures to the wedding rings too. In my expert hands couples are guided through the designing and making process from start to finish. It’s a super workshop that becomes a memorable part of the wedding planning process. And the most exciting part is that clients leave with unique wedding rings that they’ve made themselves to wear forever.

Two ways to measure your ring size at home

by eanjewellery | Sep 8, 2016 | Wedding Inspiration

My buying rings online size guide

I am often contacted by customers who want to buy wedding rings online or they just ask ‘what’s my ring size?’ Most of us are unaware of our UK ring size. So below I’ve detailed 2 easy methods for how to measure your ring size at home which is helpful if you want to know what size wedding ring you need. Please note that these two methods for measuring your ring size at home are a rough guide for how to work out your ring size.

A more accurate way is to use this inexpensive ring size tool. The very best way to know your ring size is to have it professionally measured at your local high street jewellers or book an appointment to come to my Birmingham workshop and I’ll measure your ring size for you.

Method One – Using finger measurement for rings using simple household items

To measure your finger size you’ll need a piece of paper, scissors, a ruler and a pencil
With this method you’ll learn how to work out ring size by measuring the internal circumference of your finger
Cut a strip of paper approximately 10mm wide and 100mm long

On the finger you want to wrap the paper around the WIDEST part of your finger
For some people the widest part of the finger is the middle knuckle. For others the widest part is the end nearest the hand.
Check that the strip of paper overlaps straight
Mark a line along the width of the paper where it overlaps

Shade out the part of paper that is not around your finger
Remove the paper, straighten it out along the edge of a ruler
Measure the part that was around your finger (this is the internal circumference)
Jot down the measurement on the paper
Use the chart below to find your ring size

Internal circumference (paper length)

48.7mm – J
49.3mm – J 1/2
50.0mm – K
50.6mm – K 1/2
51.2mm – L
51.9mm – L 1/2
52.5mm – M
53.1mm – M 1/2
53.8mm – N
54.4mm – N 1/2
55.1mm – O
55.7mm – O 1/2
56.3mm – P
57.0mm – P 1/2
57.6mm – Q
58.4mm – Q 1/2

58.9mm – R
59.5mm – R 1/2
60.2mm – S
60.8mm – S 1/2
61.4mm – T

64.0mm – V
64.6mm – V 1/2
65.3mm – W
65.9mm – W 1/2

67.2mm – X 1/2
67.8mm – Y
68.5mm – Z
70.4mm – Z+1
71.0mm – Z+2

Method Two – Measuring your ring size using a ring that fits you

Pick the finger you want your new ring for
Do you have a ring at home that fits that finger?
If yes, then all you need is that ring and a ruler

Measure the inside diameter of the ring (that’s the hole inside the ring excluding the metal)
Write down this measurement in millimeters and use the chart below to find your UK ring size (this is the internal diameter)
The measurements below are very accurate but see if you can find the nearest measurement
