Size and fit
Available in S, M and L. Approximate size-chart equivalents: S ≈ US 6, M ≈ US 7 and L ≈ US 8. Typical reference measurements: S ≈ 51.9 mm circumference / 16.5 mm inside diameter; M ≈ 54.4 mm / 17.3 mm; L ≈ 57.0 mm / 18.1 mm. Measure at the intended wearing position and check that the ring can pass over the relevant knuckle comfortably.

These are reference conversions, not measurements of this product. Regional and brand charts differ, particularly in Asia; compare millimeters first. EU values are rounded circumference references; Germany and Russia values are diameter references. UK letters follow the GIA chart. Hong Kong, mainland China and Japan columns show the closest circumference entry in the Chow Sang Sang chart, so some values are fractional. For other countries, use the millimeter columns or confirm the seller's local system. S/M/L are not universal ring sizes.
Choosing your size
If your measurement is right at a size boundary or between two sizes, choose the smaller of the two for a close or slightly snug fit, or go up one available size for a looser fit (S to M, or M to L). Otherwise, choose the size that matches your measurement. A snug fit should still feel comfortable and allow the ring to pass over the relevant knuckle. L is the largest available size.
How to measure your finger
- Choose the exact finger, hand and position where you plan to wear the ring.
- Wrap a non-stretch measuring tape around that position. Keep it close to the skin without pressing it in, and read the circumference in millimeters. If using a narrow paper strip, mark the overlap, lay it flat and measure with a ruler; this gives only a rough estimate.
- Measure the knuckle the ring must pass over as well. Repeat both measurements several times at normal room temperature.
- Compare with the circumference column. Check the fit with a proper ring sizer or a jeweler, especially for a wide ring or when your measurement falls between sizes.
Alternatively, measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits the same finger and wearing position, straight across its center, excluding the metal edges. Do not use a screen image as a physical sizing tool.
Care Instructions
Avoid contact with water and abrasive materials to help preserve the appearance. Store the jewelry separately from other jewelry, preferably in a fabric pouch or wrapped in a soft cloth, to help prevent scratches. Wipe gently with a clean, soft cloth when cleaning.
