Measuring your size at home
The most reliable method is to measure the inside circumference of the finger, in millimetres. Wrap a strip of non-stretch paper around the finger, mark where it meets, then measure the length with a ruler. That length in millimetres corresponds directly to the Swiss and French size.
If you already own a ring worn on the right finger, measure its inside diameter and use the table below.
Three precautions
- Measure at the end of the day, at room temperature: fingers swell slightly as the hours pass and contract in the cold.
- The ring should pass the knuckle with slight resistance. If it slides without effort, it is too large.
- A wide band (over 4 mm) is generally worn half a size larger than a slim one.

Values are rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimetre; if you hesitate between two rows, take the larger.
You do not have to decide now
Because our rings are made to order, the size is confirmed with you after purchase, at no extra cost. Order the piece, and we then agree the final size together before it goes into production. The ten to fifteen working days run from that confirmation.
If the ring delivered does not fit, an exchange of size is possible within thirty days, return carriage at our expense.
Particular cases
Open bangles are not measured in this way: they are adjusted by hand around the wrist.
A wedding band meant to sit against a solitaire is generally taken in the same size as the solitaire.
For a proposal, it is better to err on the large side: enlarging a ring is simpler than reducing it, and the exchange stays open for thirty days.
