Choosing the perfect ring starts not with the stone or the design, but with the right ring size. Even the most beautiful engagement or wedding ring will not be pleasant to wear if it is too loose or too tight. Therefore, before ordering a ring, it is essential to know which ring size fits your or your loved one’s finger.
Why is ring size so important?
Ring size determines not only comfort but also safety. A ring that is too large can accidentally slip off, while one that is too small can squeeze the finger and cause discomfort. At the Fashion Gold jewelry house, we always emphasize that the correct size is the first step towards the ideal engagement or wedding ring.
Rings are not just jewelry, but also a style accent that can be coordinated in various ways according to individual taste and clothing style.
HOW TO MEASURE RING SIZE AT HOME?
If you plan to measure the finger yourself, it is important to know the main ring size determination methods: you can choose to measure the finger with a thread, a paper strip, or measure the ring’s diameter. Each method has its advantages and can be chosen based on the situation.
It is important to measure the specific finger on which you plan to wear the ring, as the circumference of different fingers can vary. Also, note that finger size can change depending on the time of day or temperature.
Measurement should be performed accurately for the result to be reliable. We recommend using a paper strip, a thread, or a special ring size sizer, which you can find on the FashionGold.lt website.
The golden rule – the ring should slide easily over the joint but not slip off the finger.
STANDARD RING SIZES
Women most often wear sizes from 15 to 18, while sizes 18–23 are more typical for men. One of the most popular choices when buying women’s rings is size 16.5, especially if there is no possibility to measure the finger accurately. However, every finger is different, so it is important to rely on precise measurement values in millimeters. The circumference of a woman’s ring finger usually ranges between 47–57 mm, and a man’s between 58 and 70 mm.
INTERNATIONAL RING SIZE CHART
To make it easier, Fashion Gold has prepared an international ring size chart where you will find equivalents between the Lithuanian, European, US, and UK systems. This is especially useful if you are ordering a ring online or from a foreign jeweler.

📏 How to use the table
- Measure the inner diameter of the ring in millimeters – this can be done with a ruler or a sizer.
- Find the equivalent in the table – according to the EU size, you will find out what US and UK size it is.
- If you are measuring finger circumference (mm) with a thread or a paper strip, you can also use this table for reference.
By using the table, you can learn more about different ring sizes and selection options.
🔹 Tip from the jeweler
- If the ring will be wider than 6 mm, choose a half size larger.
- If you are in doubt between two sizes – it is always better to choose the slightly larger one, as a ring can always be slightly downsized.
- In Vilnius, at the Fashion Gold showroom, you can get measured accurately – using a professional ring sizer.
HOW DOES RING WIDTH AFFECT THE SIZE?
The wider the ring, the more it fits snugly against the finger. Therefore, when choosing a wedding ring with a width of 6–8 mm, it is recommended to take a half size larger. This is especially relevant for men, who often choose more massive rings.
YOUR RING CHOICE
Choosing your ring is a very important step to ensure that the ring is not only beautiful but also comfortable for daily wear. When choosing a ring, first pay attention to the ring size – an accurately selected size will ensure that the ring fits perfectly on the finger and does not cause discomfort. To determine your ring size, you can use the ring size chart found below. It is also very simple to measure finger circumference using a paper strip or thread – wrap the strip around your finger, mark the point where it intersects, and measure the resulting length in millimeters. Based on this measurement, you will easily determine the correct size according to the chart. Our tips will help you choose the right ring size both for yourself and as a gift for your mother, sister, girlfriend, or boyfriend. Remember that size is the main factor by which a ring should be selected – only then will it become a favorite piece of jewelry that you will want to wear every day.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SIZE IS NOT QUITE RIGHT?
If the ring is too small – it can be gently enlarged, and if it’s too large – it can be reduced. Usually, a ring size can be adjusted by only one size up or down. Fashion Gold jewelers in Vilnius perform precise ring adjustment work without damaging the stone or engraving. Nevertheless, it is best to know the size in advance to avoid corrections after manufacturing.
RING RESIZING
If it turns out that the ring size is not right, do not worry – ring resizing is a possible and simple process. We recommend contacting our jewelers, who will professionally change the ring size according to your needs. It is important to know that the size of some ring models cannot be changed – we always inform about this on the product page, so it is worth paying attention to this information before purchasing a ring. If there is any doubt about the ring size, a great solution is to purchase a gift voucher so that you can independently choose a ring of the right size and style. Our team is always ready to help you find the right ring size, and the ring size change will be performed quickly and with high quality, so you can enjoy your jewelry without worries.
RING SIZE DIFFERENCES BY SEASON
Many are surprised that ring size can change depending on the time of year. In summer, when it’s hot, fingers swell slightly, and in winter – they shrink. Therefore, if the ring will be worn daily, it is worth choosing one that will be comfortable in all seasons.
HOW TO FIND OUT A PARTNER’S RING SIZE SECRETLY?
To propose unexpectedly, you can use a ring your loved one already owns that is worn on the ring finger. Simply bring it to the Fashion Gold showroom or measure the inner diameter using a ruler.
TECHNOLOGY AND ACCURACY
Modern jewelers use 3D technologies that allow for manufacturing a ring based on precise millimeter measurements. This way, Fashion Gold can ensure that your engagement or wedding ring will be ideally suited for the finger.
The right ring size is the foundation that ensures comfort, safety, and longevity. Whether you are choosing an engagement ring with a diamond or a classic wedding ring – it all starts with the exact size.
