Variables: Many factors can affect your ring size. These include room/body temperature, climate, salt intake, hydration intake and hormones. If possible, we recommend measuring your finger at different times of the day to get an average. Most people find that their finger is smaller in winter than it is in summer, so please keep these temperature variances in mind when determining your size.
Band thickness: Band thickness can also affect the measuring and fit of your ring. Bands that are 3mm or wider may require you to go up by a 1/2 or full (AUS) size. Majority of Louise Jean rings are 1.6mm in width, so these measure true to size. We recommend using a band with a similar thickness to your desired ring when being sized.
Limitations: In most cases, if your purchased ring is slightly too large/small, a simple resize can be done. However, there are limitations to rings that require a significant increase/decrease of size. In this scenario, remanufacturing may be necessary. A ring that is beyond our resize limitations will b Louise Jean based on the ring/band style and size increase/decrease required.
