Touch Wood Rings & Wedding Bands  

Getting the right size for your ring is the most critical part of your custom order.  We recommend that you get your ring finger sized by a reputable jeweller!  If you are ordering a wider ring, get a measurement that uses a wide ring sizer since narrow and wide rings will fit differently.  

If you are ordering a ring as a surprise, you are taking a risk. You might ask your partner's mother or sister or one of their friends if they know his or her ring size.  You could also borrow one of your partners rings from the finger you want to put a ring on, and take it in to a jewelers to have it sized.  

Things to note when sizing for rings:

More sizing mistakes are made ordering rings too large than too small.

We recommend that you measure your finger during normal temperatures and at the end of the day when your fingers are most normal. 

Please remember that the wider your ring is, the tighter it will fit.  

Please DON'T use this next sizing method unless you have no other option.  The 'paper strip method' just isn't very reliable. If this really is your only option here is a ' how to' for finding an approximate ring size. Cut a strip of paper no wider than 1/4" and a few inches in length.

 The strip will be easier to handle if you cut it like the example in this photo (click on the thumbnail for a better view)

• Wrap the strip around the appropriate finger at the point on the finger where the ring will be worn.  

• Use a pen to mark the point on the paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle. 

• With a ruler, measure (in mm or inches) the length from the starting end of the strip to the pen mark. 

• Be as precise as you can be. We will work with your measurement (don't worry about converting it to a 'ring size'.)  

When a ring fits properly it should slide on easily, but will resist just a little when coming off, even taking 2-3 seconds to get it back over the knuckle. This is normal, and especially common with men, who typically have larger knuckles. If you size your ring to your knuckle, it will often be too big on your finger. 

A few more tips:

• Don't measure cold fingers, as this is when fingers are their smallest.

• For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at a few different times of day.

• The end of the day is when your finger will be at it's 'normal' size.  

• You can build yourself a mock ring with paper and tape and when you are sure its right, cut and measure it . . .

• Remember . . . we can only guarantee that we will build the size you order.  You must guarantee that it will fit!
