Guide to determining your Viridian Gold ring size & width

• It is always best to measure your finger size by trying on "dummy rings," you can order an inexpensive sizing set from us (see below), and it will only take a few days to get to you. This will allow you or your loved one to actually try on 4mm-wide plastic rings in half sizes between size 2 and size 14 to find the proper fit.  This is the most accurate method of determining ring size--our minimum order requirement does not apply to this item, so order now and your kit will arrive in a few days!
  
  
• In addition, all jewelers and department store jewelry departments will also be able to determine your ring size by letting you try on dummy rings, and most can measure a ring that you already have by using a "ring stick." 
  
  
• If the ring is a surprise gift, ask his or her friends or mother for the ring size.  Or borrow a ring (make sure it fits the correct finger!) from her jewelry box or his dresser, and take it to a local store (see above).
  
  
• If you find that your ring does not fit, don't worry!  You may return the ring to us and we will resize it for a minimal charge.  Most jewelry stores will also resize rings--so shop around (by phone) and find a reputable local jeweler who will resize your ring if you are in a hurry!
  
  
• You can also print our Ringsizer Helper page (it requires Adobe Reader) which will allow you to determine an approximate ring size.  Be sure to closely follow the printing instructions!
  
  
• Some ring designs are available in multiple widths, such as in wedding bands. Generally speaking, larger hands look best with wider rings, but this is strictly a personal preference, and preferred widths tend to vary depending on prevailing fashion.
  
  

Other useful information for determining ring size:

• A ring with a wide band (larger than 6mm) should be sized about 1/2 to 1 size larger than typical dummy rings because the wider band allows less flexibility in the tissue of the finger and is more difficult to pass over the knuckle.  A "tapered" ring style may be wide at the top, but the bottom of the ring is more narrow, so it does not need to be sized larger.
  
  
• Finger size varies with ambient temperature and time of day, and for women, with time of month. Measure ring size when the finger is the largest
