If you require a size 16 or larger, please contact us for a quote if it is a design that includes gold inlays. We have made rings as large as a size 24, depending on the style and material.

Since each ring is hand-crafted, and made exactly to the size you request at the time of your purchase, we cannot accept returns due to improper ring size requests.

So, if you are unsure of your size, please take the time to be sized using metal ring gauges at a local jeweler. As a courtesy, any jeweler or department store will be happy to properly size you quickly, and at no cost to you.

Or, we can send you a set of ring gauges, you just pay for the shipping and send them back to us when you are done. If you pre-order your ring, and pay in full, we will pay to ship the ring gauges to you, but your ring will not be shipped to you until the gauges have been returned.

HOWEVER, if you get your ring and it is too small, we can make it larger for you as a free service. You will just return the ring to us and pay for the return shipping. If you get your ring and it is too big, you also have options, but we may have to charge you to resize the ring.

Tips for a proper fitting:

The most important factor in a proper fitting is the use of metal gauges, not paper, as paper gauges have a large margin of error. As a courtesy, a jeweler of department store will be happy to size you with a metal gauge.

When measuring, make sure your hand is no warmer or cooler than room temperature, and make sure no rings were being worn on the finger to be sized for at least an hour before sizing in order to allow the finger to fill out. When measuring, the drag (when the ring gauge is slid over the knuckle) should be snug, but not tight. Overall, the fit over the finger should be comfortable, neither tight nor loose.

A thumb ring should also be measured with a ring gauge. Measure the drag over the knuckle, it should be snug but not too tight. When the ring falls in the well of the thumb arch, it will loosen greatly. You can tighten the fit by having the band widened so it spans the arch, but do not go so wide as to restrict movement while bending your thumb. Ten to twelve millimeter widths are the maximum on most hands.

Interior Options:

Traditional Fit Interior:

A traditional fit interior is a straight interior. It lies flat against your finger and has the lowest profile. If you are reaching into a pair of jeans for something, you are not going to catch this style of ring on a pocket. It has a 1.2mm to 1.5mm wall thickness.

Thick-walled Traditional Fit Interior:

A thick-walled traditional is a 2mm thick straight interior, making this a substantial, chunky ring. The benefit of such a thick ring is that it can easily be resized to larger ring sizes without affecting the ring's appearance.

Comfort Fit Interior:

A comfort fit interior is a reduction of the interior that leaves a reduced center contact point against your finger. Basically, it is a thick-walled traditional interior that leaves an air gap for more breathing room against your finger. For example, a 10mm ring may have a 6mm contact point, leaving the remaining material raised away from your finger.

Finish Options:

Satin-brushed Finish:

Our satin-brushed finish has very slight brush strokes that go with the "grain" of the metal. It gives both Titanium and Tungsten a very clean, contoured, and classic finish that is easy to care for.

Coarse Satin-brushed Finish:

The coarse satin-brushed has more pronounced brush strokes. It gives both Titanium and Tungsten a contoured, yet less refined finish that is easy to care for.

Satin-frost Finish:

The satin-frost finish has a very, very, fine satin appearance with no noticeable brush strokes. It gives both Titanium and Tungsten a very clean, light-gathering finish that is easy to care for.
