Why Ring Size Matters
A ring is meant to be worn daily — through seasons, travel, and time — so comfort and fit are essential. A ring that’s too loose may slip off when your hands are cold or dry, while one that’s too tight can feel uncomfortable during warmer months when fingers naturally swell slightly. At Norrfolks, many of our rings are designed with a flat interior. This subtle yet purposeful detail helps keep your ring in place, preventing it from spinning around the finger while maintaining a sleek, modern profile. It’s a design choice that balances comfort and function — secure enough for everyday wear, yet still easy to slide on and off. Finding your perfect size isn’t about precision to the millimetre, but about balance — a fit that feels natural in both cooler and warmer conditions.
How to Measure at Home
A reliable way to find your ring size is by using the Norrfolks Ring Sizer Tool, available to order directly from our website. The sizer includes a full range of measurements, allowing you to test different fits comfortably at home and determine your ideal size with accuracy. If you already have a ring that fits the same finger you plan to wear your new piece on, you can also measure its inner diameter in millimetres and compare it to our online size chart. When measuring, make sure your hands are at room temperature — fingers are typically smaller in cooler conditions and slightly larger later in the day. Measuring in the evening usually provides the most accurate result. If you’re uncertain or between sizes, our team is happy to assist. You can always reach out to us for personal guidance or book a private appointment at our showroom, where we’ll help you find the perfect fit.
Finding the Most Accurate Fit
For the most precise result, we recommend a personal sizing consultation with our team. During your appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to try on sample rings and explore subtle differences between sizes, widths, and designs. Our specialists will guide you through how each band should feel — secure yet comfortable, sliding gently over the knuckle while sitting naturally at the base of the finger. Because every design has its own structure and thickness, we always consider the ring’s profile and style when recommending a size. Slim, delicate bands may feel looser, while wider designs fit more snugly and may require a slightly larger size for the same level of comfort. For rings that cannot be resized — such as eternity bands or full diamond bands — we recommend selecting a size that feels just slightly more relaxed. This ensures comfort and wearability over time, while maintaining the integrity of the setting.
Finding the Right Fit for a Surprise Proposal
If you’re planning a proposal and want to keep it a surprise, there are discreet ways to find your partner’s ring size without revealing your plans. Borrowing one of their rings can be a helpful starting point. Try to choose one they wear on the same hand and finger — for example, the right-hand ring finger. If possible, trace the inner edge on paper or press it gently into a soft surface to capture the shape. You can also compare it subtly to one of your own fingers — mark where it sits, and our team can help you estimate the closest size. When in doubt, we recommend selecting a slightly larger size. During the proposal, it’s always better for the ring to slide comfortably onto the finger than to be too tight. The experience feels more natural and seamless, allowing the moment to unfold beautifully. After the proposal, we can make any small adjustments needed to ensure a perfect fit. At Norrfolks, we offer one complimentary resizing within 1 month of purchase, so your ring will feel just as right as the moment it was given.
Resizing and Long-Term Fit
Hands can change subtly over time — due to temperature, lifestyle, or natural variation. That’s why we design all Norrfolks rings, where possible, to allow for professional resizing. If your ring ever feels slightly loose or snug, our goldsmiths can adjust it to restore comfort and balance. Resizing does not affect the quality or integrity of your ring; in fact, it’s a natural part of owning fine jewelry that’s meant to last a lifetime. For designs that can’t be resized — like eternity rings — our team will help you find the best fit from the start to ensure lasting comfort.
Closing Thought
Your perfect ring size is the one that feels effortless — easy to wear, secure, and beautifully balanced. It’s the foundation of comfort, ensuring that your ring becomes a natural part of your life, not something you think about. At Norrfolks, we take pride in helping you find that perfect fit — through thoughtful design, precise craftsmanship, and personal guidance. Whether it’s your engagement ring, wedding band, or a gift to yourself, the right fit ensures it will feel as timeless as it looks.
