How do I know which size of slide ring to order?

Here's some information on sizing that I hope will help you make your decision.  

I recommend to my customers to trust their gut instinct when it comes to ordering the correct size.

If you would prefer to measure your finger to find out which slide to order, please refer to the below instructions.  

1) take a piece of string, thread, or dental floss and wrap it around the middle segment of your middle finger  

2) stretch out the piece of string and measure how long it is.  This will give you the circumference of the middle segment of your middle finger.

3) Refer to the chart below to pick the size which is best for your finger.  

Small

Smaller than 2 1/4 inches (57mm) 

Regular

Between 2 1/4 inch (57mm) and 2 5/8 inch (66mm)

Extra-Large

Larger than 2 5/8 inches (66mm)
