When you buy gold from an online store, choosing the perfect and correct ring size is one of the most important steps you should consider because it is not a secondary step, but rather a very important step, and it represents the difference between a ring you wear with comfort and confidence and a ring that causes tightness or looseness.

Because the ideal ring is determined by a clear and calculated measurement, we will show you here the practical step-by-step guide to reach the most suitable realistic size according to the type and design of the ring.


Ring size guide

Your choice of the perfect size is determined by a clear and calculated measurement, and we guide you step by step to reach the most suitable realistic size.


1- If you have a ring with a precise and comfortable size, please provide us with its dimensions.

  • Measure the inner circular diameter of the ring as shown in the picture below.
  • Send the measurement to customer service and the most suitable size will be provided according to the type and design of the ring.


2- If sizes are not available

No problem, you can accurately determine the size within a minute:

  • Follow the finger measurement steps shown in the attached image.
  • Record the measurement in centimeters (cm) accurately.
  • Send your measurements to customer service at Pearl Shine store and we will determine the appropriate size for you according to the ring design.


3- Converting the measurement to other measurements, whether American or Indian, through the explanatory table in the picture.

Frequently asked questions about ideal ring sizes


1- When is the best time to accurately measure the ring size?

If measuring with a thread, the best time to measure is at the end of the day (evening), because the size of the fingers may increase slightly during the day.

Avoid taking measurements early in the morning or immediately after waking up.


2- Does the ambient temperature affect finger measurement when measuring using a string?

Yes. Heat and cold change the size of the finger:

In cold weather, the finger may appear smaller than usual. In hot weather, the finger may expand slightly. Therefore, it is preferable to take the measurement in a moderate temperature.


3- Does the size differ between the right and left hand?

Yes, the size may vary slightly between hands. So measure the finger on the hand you will wear the ring on, and do not rely on the measurement of the other hand.


4- What is the difference between measuring a finger with a thread and measuring a ready-made ring?

Measuring a finished ring depends on the ring's inner diameter and is often the most accurate.

Finger measurement with a thread depends on the circumference of the finger and may be affected by temperature and the method of measurement, so it needs some attention.


5- Does the width of the ring (thin/wide) affect the size?

Yes. Wide rings may need a slightly larger size than thin rings because they touch a larger area of the finger.

If the ring is wide or has a prominent design, let us know so we can suggest the most suitable size.


6- How can I accurately measure my finger manually with a string at home?

Follow these steps to get an accurate measurement:

1- Use a string, flexible measuring tape, or thin (not thick) paper.

2- Wrap it around the finger where the ring is worn.

3- Make it moderately tight: neither too tight nor too loose.

4- Determine the meeting point, then measure accurately.

5- Repeat the measurement 3 times and keep the most accurate result.


7- What is the appropriate amount of tension during measurement?

The golden rule:

The measurement should pass smoothly over the finger joint without painful pressure, and at the same time not be so wide that it moves too much.

If your finger has a prominent joint, measure at the joint and at the base of the finger and adopt the most comfortable and suitable measurement for you.


8- Does the measurement change due to pregnancy, menstruation, or exercise?

Yes, slight stretching of the fingers may occur due to fluid retention or physical activity.

If you are in a period of clear change, it is preferable to take the measurement after the condition has stabilized or to repeat it on two different days.


9- What if I am between two sizes in the table?

If your result falls between two sizes:

For thin rings: the closest size can often be used.

For wide rings: it's often best to choose the larger size for better comfort.


Can you help me even if I don't understand the table?

Yes. Just send us the measurement as is, and we will convert it and set the correct size according to the ring design.
