Need help finding the right ring size? Here are a number of tricks to find out your exact size. It is easiest to use a suitable ring for the measurement of your ring. If you currently own a perfectly fitting ring, you can measure your size through the following image:
Another option to determine your ring size with a current ring is with the help of the following size guide:
- Print this document on a 100% scale size
- Place the ring on one of the circles (which can also be seen below)
- If the inner circle of the ring is exactly the same size as the circle on the paper, you can immediately read your ring size
In case you don’t own a perfectly fitting ring, it’s best to measure the perimeter of your finger. In this document you will find a really useful measurer:
- Print the document on a 100% scale size
- Cut out the measurer
- Fold the measurer around your finger, the number exactly on the dotted lines is your ringsize
Pay close attention to the following points when determining your ring size:
-
Every finger is different and the ring sizes of your fingers may differ. Always measure your ring size on the finger you want to wear the ring on.Take the thickness of the ring into account, the thicker the ring, the tighter it will sit. With a very thick ring, take half a size bigger and with a very thin ring, half a size smaller
-
If you are in doubt between two sizes, take the larger size to be sure.
-
Do not try to measure your finger when your hands are cold or very warm, because your fingers expand due to heat. Measure your finger when your hands have a normal temperature.
-
Do you want to measure the circumference of your finger accurately? Then measure at two different times on two different days to be sure you are right.
-
If you have a ring with stone in mind, keep in mind that you have to measure even more accurately. You don’t want the stone to turn
-
You can no longer return an engraved item. It is therefore best to fit a ring before you have it engraved.
If you do not know your ring size in diameters but in circumference, or vice versa, this table is a useful way to convert your good ring size.
Our handpicked gold jewelry consists of various precious materials that must be maintained so that they can shine for a long time. To take care of them as well as possible, we have a number of tips and tricks here.
Gold
Over time, gold jewelry can become duller. This can, for example, be due to the acidity of your skin, perfume or soap residues. It is best to clean your gold jewelry with gold cleaning liquid. It is now widely available. Place the jewelry in an immersion basket and allow it to take effect for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
Gemstones
At amsterdam vintage jewels we only work with the best quality jewelery, both in gold and gemstones. Gemstones, like gold, can become dull after a while. You can clean the stone with warm water, dish soap and a soft brush. Brush and rinse well on all sides. Then let it dry on a soft dry cloth.
Diamonds
Diamonds can be sparkled again by mixing 6 parts of water with 1 part of ammonia. Just brush with a soft brush and voila, as good as new!
All our vintage rings are unique and that makes it extra fun, in our opinion! But if you come across a ring that is sold out and want a similar one, you can leave your email at the find-my-dream-ring feature. In addition, you can sign up for the back-in-stock function for when the same ring is returned and is therefore available again.
