Ring size guide: how to measure your finger size?

How to find your ring size?

Precisely measuring your finger to determine the size of your future ring is a crucial exercise if you want your piece of jewellery to follow your every move and stay with you for the rest of your life. It must be easy to slip on and off, with slight resistance to the passing of the joint.

To obtain a quick and reliable measurement of your finger and choose the size of your ring, COURBET offers you a printable ring size guide.

The size of a finger is determined by the inner circumference of the ring, not by its diameter. In Europe, if the ring circumference measures 53 mm, 53 is the size of your finger. But beyond measurement, what determines the right size is also how it feels.

How to know your finger size?

• The COURBET ring size guide allows you to compare one of your rings with the ring gauge to determine the size of your future piece of jewellery. Once you have printed out the ring size guide and checked the scale (100%), place a ring adapted to your finger on the circles of the ring gauge. The inside diameter must coincide with the circle to identify the correct size. It's a quick and reliable way to measure, without leaving home!

• To measure your finger: wrap a tape measure (string or paper strip) around the base of your finger. Mark where it overlaps, then measure the resulting length with a ruler on a flat surface. By comparing this measurement with the table in the COURBET ring size guide, you can determine the diameter of your future ring.

   

3. Whether the ring is for you or as a gift, the surest way to find the right finger size is to meet a professional. During an appointment with your advisor at l'appartement COURBET, Place Vendôme, a professional ring set will be presented to you to determine the precise size of your finger.
    
4. You are also strongly advised to try on a display model, as the design can influence the way you feel: a chain ring is smaller than a classic ring or a wide ring, for example. You can also bring in an existing ring and measure its diameter using a triboulet, which will give you an accurate finger size.
    
5. Feel free to try on different sizes to find the one that suits you best, depending on whether you prefer a tight-fitting ring or a little more freedom.

Among the COURBET collections, one ring model stands out: the E.T. two-finger ring, which uses a simplified sizing system (S, M, L, etc.). The COURBET ring size guide details the measurements to be taken for the two fingers you will be wearing it on. Do not hesitate to contact our team for further information on how to choose the best ring for you.

COURBET's practical advice for choosing the right ring size

The ring size guide will help you to put into practice the advice that will guide you towards the ideal size.

Your finger circumference changes throughout the day, depending on whether it's hot or cold, stormy weather, morning or evening... It may therefore be useful to repeat the measurement throughout the day, avoiding doing so after strenuous activity. The ring size guide will help you choose the right diameter, taking all these factors into account.

It's not uncommon to hesitate between two sizes. However slight the difference, it is advisable to opt for the larger of the two. Your body changes over time, and it's not uncommon for your 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 ring size. The ring size guide will be an invaluable ally if you need to re-measure your finger over time.

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.
