How to Find Your Ring Size
Found a ring you love but not sure which size you need? Use the tips below to easily determine your ring size.
At La Tarifa, many of our rings are sized according to their inside diameter in millimeters. Size 17, for example, has an inside diameter of approximately 17 mm, while size 17.25 has an inside diameter of approximately 17.25 mm.
Always check the available sizes and product information for the individual ring before ordering.
Method 1: Measure a Ring That Fits
The easiest and most reliable way to determine your ring size at home is to measure a ring that already fits the same finger comfortably.
Place the ring flat and use a ruler to measure its inside diameter. Measure straight across the center and only measure the open space inside the ring, without including the ring itself.
For example, if the inside diameter measures approximately 17.25 mm, choose La Tarifa size 17.25.
| La Tarifa size | Inside diameter | EU size | Approx. US size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 16.0 mm | 50 | 5.5 |
| 16.5 | 16.5 mm | 52 | 6 |
| 17 | 17.0 mm | 53 | 6.5 |
| 17.25 | 17.25 mm | 54 | 7 |
| 17.5 | 17.5 mm | 55 | 7.25 |
| 18 | 18.0 mm | 57 | 8 |
| 18.5 | 18.5 mm | 58 | 8.5 |
| 19 | 19.0 mm | 60 | 9 |
| 19.5 | 19.5 mm | 61 | 9.5 |
| 20 | 20.0 mm | 63 | 10.25 |
Please note: US ring sizes are approximate. For the most accurate fit, use the inside diameter in millimeters and select the corresponding La Tarifa size.
If your measurement falls between two available sizes, it's usually best to choose the larger size, especially for a wider ring.
Method 2: Measure Your Finger
Don't have a ring that fits to measure? You can measure the circumference of your finger instead.
Wrap a narrow strip of paper loosely around the part of your finger where you plan to wear the ring. Mark where the ends meet and measure the length in millimeters.
Use the table above to compare your measurement with our ring sizes.
Keep in mind that measuring your finger with paper or string is less precise than measuring the inside diameter of a ring that already fits well.
Tips for Measuring Your Ring Size
It's best to measure your fingers towards the end of the day, when they are at their normal or slightly larger size. Cold temperatures can make your fingers smaller, while heat can cause them to swell slightly.
Always measure the finger on which you plan to wear the ring. The same finger on your left and right hand can be a different size.
Wide rings often fit more snugly than narrow, delicate rings. Choosing a slightly larger size may therefore be more comfortable for a wider ring.
Your ring should slide comfortably over your knuckle without being so loose that it can easily slip off your finger.
