Finding the Perfect Ring Size: Wallace Bishop’s Complete Ring Size Guide

At Wallace Bishop, we understand that a ring is more than jewellery — it’s a reflection of love, personal style, and milestones worth celebrating. From engagement rings and wedding bands to fashion rings, each piece should feel as comfortable as it is meaningful. That’s why knowing your correct ring size is so important.

Many people wonder how to measure ring size at home or what size ring they should buy for themselves or a loved one. To make this easier, we’ve created a comprehensive ring size guide and chart to help you find the perfect fit.

Why Ring Size Matters

A ring that’s too tight can feel restrictive, while one that’s too loose risks slipping off. Choosing the right size ensures:

1. Comfort for everyday wear.
2. Longevity — avoiding unnecessary stress or reshaping of the band.
3. Peace of mind knowing your ring is secure on your finger.

Since 1917, Wallace Bishop has helped Australians select jewellery that feels just right, combining craftsmanship, tradition, and care with modern guidance.

Note: These measurements apply to rings up to 3mm wide. For bands between 3–6mm, add half to a full size for comfort.

How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

If you don’t have a professional ring sizer, you can try these simple at-home techniques:

1. Measure with string or paper — Wrap it around your finger, mark the point where it overlaps, then measure the length against a ruler and compare it to our chart.

2. Measure an existing ring — If you already own a ring that fits well, measure the internal diameter in millimetres.

3. Check at different times of day — Fingers can swell with temperature, so measure at room temperature for accuracy.

Common Ring Sizing Mistakes to Avoid

1. Measuring only once: Always take a couple of measurements for accuracy.
2. Forgetting band width: Wide bands often require a slightly larger size.
3. Using inaccurate tools: Avoid stretchy strings or worn paper that may distort results.
