The sizes on either side
A half size is only about 1.3 mm of circumference — thinner than a matchstick. If your own measurement lands between two rows, take the larger one: a ring that is slightly loose can be made smaller, and it will still go on over a swollen summer knuckle.

Who wears this size
This is below the range most shops keep in stock, so expect it to be made to order or sized down from a larger blank.
Check that this really is your size
Before you order, measure rather than assume. The quickest check is a strip of paper round the finger: wrap, mark the overlap, measure the length in millimetres and compare it with the circumference above.
If you already own a ring that fits the right finger, match it to a circle on the screen or print the circle chart and lay the ring on it. Measure the inside of the band — on a wide ring the outside is more than a size larger.
Wide bands fit tighter. From 4 mm wide add a quarter size, from 6 mm add a half.
