Ring Sizes
To determine your ring size, please visit:

We only sell whole sizes (no half-sizes).
If we don't offer rings in your size...
Then there is good news and bad news. Let's start with the bad so we can finish with the good!
The bad news is that we offer every ring in every size that our select manufacturers offer. We choose our suppliers very carefully, but once we enter into a business relationship with them, we do offer everything they make. So what you see on the website is every size offered. We update inventory continuously throughout the day.
It may help to know how rings are made. Each one is made from a mold, and each size offered has a different mold. These molds are expensive to create (about $500 each), so suppliers target the audience for the ring designs. There has to be enough demand for each size to cover the expense of creating a mold for each size. So that's why there are very few adult design rings in the smallest sizes, or why we may not have the ring you want in your size.
Having said that, you can see why we can't ask our manufacturers to make custom sized rings, because they probably wouldn't make enough money off that mold to cover the expense of creating the mold, and of course, we can't absorb that expense.
We don't recommend resizing silver rings, because silver gets "firescale" when heated (a serious discoloration). And because silver is a soft metal, stone settings can be ruined if the band part of the ring changes sizes. The stones will no longer stay in nice and tight.
Now for the good news:
Some of our customers have had success with ring guards (which we offer for free--just
let us know you need them). You can see what they look like here:

There is a nice video here that tells you how to put them on your rings. It is really simple to do. They generally don't show (because they go inside the ring and around the back of the band), but they are brass.
Others have found success with this:

which is a white-to-clear gel that hardens on the inside of the ring. The advantage here is that the gel is invisible.
Please send us an
email if you have more questions about ring sizes. Thanks!
