  1. Get sized by Kate & Kole or a Local Jeweller

    Step 1 — Visit a Jeweller

    Schedule an appointment with Kate & Kole or any reputable local jeweller. Professional jewellers use precise tools and years of experience to measure your ring size accurately. They can also account for factors like the width of the ring and how it fits over your knuckle, ensuring a comfortable and perfect fit.

    Step 2 — Try Different Sizes

    The jeweller will use a set of ring sizers to find the size that fits your finger comfortably. It's important to try on a variety of sizes, especially if you're getting a ring with a wider band, as these can feel tighter than thinner bands. Ensure the ring slides on easily but is snug enough that it won't fall off.

    Step 3 — Confirm Your Size

    Once you've found the perfect fit, ask the jeweller to double-check the size for accuracy. This step is crucial to prevent any future adjustments. The jeweller may also offer tips on how to maintain your ring's fit as your finger size can change due to various factors like temperature and time of day.

  1. Purchase a Ring Sizer from our website

    Step 1 — Order a Ring Sizer

    Visit the Kate & Kole website and purchase a ring sizer. Our ring sizers are user-friendly and come with detailed instructions. They are designed to provide an accurate measurement from the comfort of your home.

    Step 2 — Follow the Instructions

    Once you receive the ring sizer, follow the provided instructions to measure your finger. It’s best to measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s at its largest. Make sure your hands are warm to get the most accurate size. Measure the finger you plan to wear the ring on, as sizes can vary between fingers.

    Step 3 — Record Your Size

    Note down the size that fits your finger perfectly. Ensure the ring sizer fits snugly but can still slide over your knuckle. If you're between sizes, it's usually best to go with the larger size for comfort.

  1. Measure the diameter of the Ring

    Step 1 — Select a Ring That Fits Well

    Choose a ring that fits the finger you plan to measure. Ensure the ring you're measuring is one you wear comfortably. This will provide the most accurate basis for your new ring size.

    Step 2 — Use Callipers to Measure the Diameter

    Place the ring on a flat surface and use a pair of calipers to measure the inner diameter of the ring. Make sure the calipers are aligned properly and measure the widest part of the ring's inner circle. Digital calipers can provide a precise measurement, which is crucial for an accurate ring size.

    Step 3 — Convert the Diameter to a Ring Size

    Use a ring size chart to convert the diameter measurement to the corresponding ring size. Ring size charts are available on our website and can be found online. Ensure you’re using a chart that corresponds to your country's sizing system (e.g., US, UK, European). Double-check the measurement and conversion to ensure accuracy.
