Ring Size Guide

Every ring is made to order in the size you choose, so the size matters more here than it does on a shelf. This page has two ways to measure at home and the full conversion table. If you land between two sizes, tell us and we will talk it through before we start cutting.

Measure a ring you already wear

This is the more reliable of the two methods. Take a ring that fits the finger you have in mind and measure the inside diameter across the widest point with a ruler that has millimetres on it. Match that number to the inside diameter column in the table below.

Measure the inside edge to inside edge, not the outside of the band. A 1 mm error at this step is roughly half a ring size.

Measure the finger

Cut a strip of paper about 5 mm wide, or use a length of string. Wrap it around the base of the finger, snug but not tight, mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure to the mark in millimetres. That figure is the inside circumference — the second column in the table.

Do this at the end of the day when the hand is at its largest, and not straight after exercise or a cold walk. Fingers change size through the day by up to half a size.

Two things that change the answer

Wide bands run tight. Anything over about 4 mm wide takes up more of the finger. On a wide band go a quarter size up.
A large knuckle wins. The ring has to pass the knuckle, so measure there too and take the larger of the two readings. If the gap is more than a full size, write to us — that is a fit problem we can design around.

What we make

We cut US sizes 3 through 10 1/2 as standard, in quarter steps. That covers the great majority of hands. Outside that range is not a problem, it is just not on the dropdown — write to us with the size and we will quote it.

Ring size conversion table

Inside diameter and inside circumference are the two measurements you can take at home. The remaining columns are the national sizing systems, in case the ring you measured was bought elsewhere.

Description

A signet face cut as a kite, four sides and two points, with spikes running out from the shoulders. A signet is usually a soft oval or a rounded square, and this is neither, which is the whole idea. The face is left blank and can be engraved or worn as it is. Made to order in solid 10K, 14K, or 18K gold.

Materials

Solid gold, never plated — 10K, 14K, 18K in rose, white, yellow gold

The face is left blank on purpose. A kite has two points and no obvious top, so an engraved initial has to be placed rather than centred — we would rather do that with you than guess. Engraving inside the band is free; face engraving we quote per design. The spikes at the shoulders sit low enough that the ring still goes into a pocket without snagging, which is not true of most spiked designs.

This is a plain metal design with no stone. It is cut in solid Gold (10K, 14K, 18K), in yellow, white or rose, hallmarked inside the band and never plated. The finished piece weighs about 1 grams in 14K; 10K runs a little lighter and 18K a little heavier. You will also find it in Signet Rings.

Shipping, Returns & Warranty

All U.S. orders ship free, no minimum required. Each piece is made to order — production takes 6-9 business days, with total delivery (production plus transit) of 9-17 business days. Expedited shipping is available at checkout.

Returns & Exchanges
Return or exchange within 30 days of delivery — we cover shipping both ways. Sizing exchanges are free. Engraved, personalized, or custom pieces are not eligible.

Warranty
Every piece carries a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects — a loose stone, a broken prong, an open solder joint. It does not cover normal wear, accidental damage, or loss.

Packaging

Every order arrives in a hard jewelry box, ready to hand over.

Questions about this piece

Does this ring have stones?

No. The kite is a faceted solid gold plate on a fine band, with no stones.

Can it be engraved?

The faceted face does not take engraving well. We can engrave the inside of the band instead — ask before ordering.

What gold do you use?

Solid 10K, 14K or 18K in yellow, white or rose gold, never plated or filled. Each piece carries a genuine hallmark.

How do I find my ring size?

We offer custom sizing, including quarter sizes and pinky sizes. If you fall between two sizes, contact us before ordering and we will advise.

When will my order arrive?

Made to order in 6-9 business days. Delivered in 9-17 business days total. US orders ship from Connecticut; the estimate for your address is shown at checkout.
