How to measure your finger size?

Finding the perfect ring is no easy task. Yellow gold, rose gold or white gold? And on which finger should it be worn? If there's one thing COURBET can help you with, it's choosing the right size of your future jewellery.

It's not as complicated as it might seem, but it's nonetheless crucial if you want your ring to follow your every move and stay with you for the rest of your life.

The size of the finger is defined according to the circumference of the ring, not its diameter. So if the ring circumference measures 53 mm, the finger size is 53. But beyond the number, what defines a ring that fits the finger is how it feels: the jewellery must be easy to slip on and off, with slight resistance when the joint passes through.

If you own a piece of jewellery that matches the finger on which your future ring will be worn, nothing could be simpler. COURBET offers you a printable size guide, on which you simply have to place the ring and find the circle that matches the inside of the band.

It's not unusual to hesitate between two sizes. Although the difference may be slight, it's advisable to go for the larger of the two. Your body changes over time, and it's not uncommon for fingers to swell slightly when the temperature rises, when you gain weight, during pregnancy or with age. In such cases, it's best to plan ahead and leave yourself a little breathing space. The COURBET team is here to help you if you are unsure about choosing the right size for your ring.

Among the COURBET collections, one ring model stands out. The E.T. two-finger ring has a simplified sizing system: S, M, L, etc. Don't hesitate to contact our team for more information on how to choose your E.T. ring.

Whether the ring is for you, or a gift, the surest way to find the right finger size is to go to a professional. During your appointment with your adviser at COURBET's Appartement, Place Vendôme, you will be shown a professional ring gauge to determine your size.

You are also strongly advised to try on a model on display, as the design can influence the way it feels: a chain ring, for example, fits smaller than a traditional ring. You can also bring in an existing ring and measure its diameter using a ring mandrel, which will give you a precise finger size.

What if, after all this advice, the size turns out to be inaccurate? COURBET offers to adjust the size of your ring before engraving, and undertakes to find a solution so that your jewellery continues to shine on your finger despite the change of size.

Finding the right ring for your finger is a wonderful moment that needs to be prepared for. The ideal size is a number, but it's also a feeling, an emotion. So all you have to do is explore among COURBET's creations.
