Ring Size for Different Ring Types

Engagement Rings

You should pick a fit that's snug but also feels comfortable because you will be wearing your engagement rings every single day.

Wedding Bands

When it comes to wedding bands they are usually a bit wider so a lot of people decide to go for half a size

Moissanite Rings

It is really important to measure your size before you order moissanite rings because custom moissanite rings can be very hard to resize later on.

Lab Grown Diamond Rings

Always make sure to confirm your ring size before you actually buy lab grown diamond rings especially if you are getting custom-made lab grown diamond jewelry.
