A step-by-step guide Downloadable ring size chart
We’ve created a printable ring sizer chart (actual size) to make finding your ring size easy – just follow these simple steps.
- Step 1. Download & print off our chart using A4 paper
- Step 2. Check the chart has printed to size using a credit card
- Step 3. Place your ring on each of the circles until you find your perfect fit.
Please note this guide will not consider the style of the ring, and when looking at thicker band widths, a larger size will be needed. For more accurate ring sizing or for help, why not pop into our boutique?

For the more secretive amongst you
Whether it’s for that once-in-a-lifetime occasion or a surprise gift, sometimes things need to be kept under wraps.
1.
Raid their treasure box
Look through their jewellery for a ring they already wear. You can then pop into a boutique with it, and we’ll be able to take the measurement for you. Just make sure you put it back before they notice. We won’t tell, promise.
2.
Make your mark
If you think they might notice if one of their rings goes missing, place it on your finger and make a mark where the ring goes up to. If you then come into a Loupe boutique, we’ll be able to use this as a guide for their ring size.
3.
Conspiracy is key
If in doubt, call on a friend to help you find your beloved’s ring size. Whether they try on an existing ring or get them to try on their new engagement ring, well, that’s up to them. But asking their best friend is a surefire way to get all the details you need.
Loupe Insiders: Tips & tricks
Our Loupe diamond connoisseur, Chloe Adlestone, has become a dab hand at fitting jewellery, so we quizzed her to find out some insider secrets (shhh).
- Stay warm - warmer hands are better as they tend to shrink when cold.
- From am to pm - measure your ring finger at night when your fingers are at their largest.
- Third-time lucky - make sure to measure your finger three times to allow room for errors.
- Size up - wider bands tend to fit more tightly than narrower bands so we recommend sizing up so your wider band doesn’t feel too tight.
- Bigger is better - if you’re between sizes when shopping for a ring, it’s better to go with the bigger size as it’s easier to adjust than if you go with a smaller size.
Find the ring that gives you all the heart pumps
Not for you? Not to worry
Once you’ve bought your Loupe ring, if it doesn’t give you the heart pumps or give them the goosebumps, fear not, we can give you a full refund or an exchange, as long as it’s still in its original packaging and accompanied by the receipt or proof of purchase.
Please note: There are some types of rings that we are unable to re-size so with this in mind, please ensure your ring is unworn if you require a different size as we may need to exchange it. For more information, please take a look at our returns policy.
