How to Determine a Ring Size
-
Ultimately, its to be sized by the jeweller making or resizing the ring.
Ring sizing measurements and ways of interrupting them varies all across the world so there are often discrepancies between one workshop to another.
Furthermore, each ring design is different and thus a different size is required. For example, if your selected finger is a size “O” this would be applicable for rings that are 2-4mm wide, but an adjustment would be needed if you were wanting a ring that is wide, such as 9mm wide.

Yes, this is a possibility. As mentioned above, its best to be sized by a jeweller for the actual ring in question.
In the event of it being a surprise, finding a ring that fits the person + having that measured by a jewellery is a good way to find out a ring size.
If using this method at home, please be mindful of:
that the ring is round or if its not then get an average internal measurement
note what finger the ring is worn on and let the jeweller know so we can make adjustments (for example middle finger or ring finger).
let the jeweller know if the ring measured it narrow, wide or hallowed out on the inside. Thses are all factors that heavily influence the fitting of a ring.

There are so many variables so this is not a one size fits all situation. The carat of gold, the band width and the amount of sizes the ring needs to be adjusted by plus any stones that are set into the ring all play a role in how complex the job is.
On average, the cost to resize a ring a couple sizes up or down is $150-$500.
If the resize is outside ± 2 sizes and is more complex then it may exceed $500. A quote will always be issued before any work is carried out.
Having your finger sized by a professional jeweller is the most accurate way of determining your ring size. Better still its the jeweller making the ring! However if you do need to do this at home, or even just to get an idea of size to begin a project then use the ring sizing chart below.
Simply measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits you or is known to fit the person you’re buying for and match it in the chart.
TIPS:
Ensure the ring is perfectly round (not bent out of shape)
If the ring is not perfectly round, try to find an average diameter
Measure across the middle (as per diagram)
If possible, use a ruler with clear markings, preferably a steel ruled that the measurement starts from the edge of the ruler.
If you know the US ring size, you can convert it to your Australian ring size below.
