Ring Size Guide
We get a lot of questions about ring size here at Jalak Jewels. Because we sell a lot of our rings online, our customers don’t get a chance to try a ring on before they buy it. That’s why we offer a ring size guide that can help you get the right fit.
Ring sizes can be measured physically by a paper, plastic or metal ring sizer (as a gauge) or by measuring the inner diameter of a ring that already fits (mainly employing ring sticks). These multiple ways to measure the ring size, can also be used for online shops.
The new nut-screw gauge uses a relatively softer material like brass (for easier bending) for the circular part for finger sampling, whose diameter can be adjusted using the nut-screw assembly attached to its end. The precision scale has a wide range of diameter, as well as a very precise graduations with at least count of 0.125 mm. For covering the entire range, two ring gauges are to be used. The maximum and minimum limits of the diameters are inherited from the scale of the previous devices used are 13 – 25 mm (circumference: 41 – 78 mm) in two gauges:
- For ring gauge 1, d1=13 mm and d2= 19 mm
- For ring gauge 2, d1=19 mm and d2= 25 mm
Commonly, ring sticks are used for sizing. The can be done by different material as plastic, delrin, wood, aluminium, aluminium with wooden handle and so on. Stick length is usually 31 cm.
Digital ring sticks are usually accurate to ± 0.01 mm.
Around 40% of rings end up being resized, so as long as you can get a rough estimate by following these basic ring size guidelines, you’ll get a pretty close idea.
If you don’t manage to find the right ring size, we offer you a complimentary first re-size to make things nice and simple.
If the ring needs to be re-sized any more than two sizes larger or smaller, there may be a fee that you must pay as your ring may have to be re-made.
To resize your ring, we make a small incision in the band and extend or tighten it as required. Once that’s completed, the gap is soldered and polished to seamlessly hide any evidence of alterations.
