10K gold pinky ring

Golden Palace Jewelry does ring sizing and engraving in our store at 260 Main St, Orange, NJ, open seven days a week. Bring your ring in or call or text (973) 673-3800, and we will measure your finger, look at the ring and give you details and pricing for the work.

A ring that spins, pinches or slides off is not a ring you will wear. And an engraving turns a band into something that is only yours. Here is what to know about both.

How do I know my ring size?

The most accurate way is to have your finger measured in person with a set of ring sizers. A few things affect the reading:

  • Temperature. Fingers are smaller when cold and larger when warm.
  • Time of day. Fingers can swell a little later in the day.
  • Knuckles. The ring has to fit over the knuckle and still sit snug at the base.
  • Band width. A wide band fits tighter than a thin band in the same size. Many people go up a half size for a wide band.

If you are shopping for a surprise, borrow a ring the person already wears on the same finger and bring it in. We can measure it.

Common US ring sizes

US ring sizes measure the inside of the ring. This chart shows inside diameter for common sizes:

US size Inside diameter (mm)
5 15.7
6 16.5
7 17.3
8 18.1
9 19.0
10 19.8
11 20.6
12 21.4

A chart is a good starting point, but an in-person measurement is better.

Can any ring be resized?

Many gold rings can be sized up or down, but not every ring can. It depends on the design. Some things that make sizing harder:

  1. Stones all the way around the band, like full eternity bands.
  2. Patterns or engraving that run around the whole ring.
  3. Some materials other than gold that cannot be cut and rejoined in the same way.
  4. Very large size changes, which can change the shape of the ring.

The only way to know for sure is to let us see the ring. Bring it in and we will tell you what is possible.

What can be engraved?

Engraving is done in our store. Popular choices include:

  • Initials or a name inside a wedding band
  • A meaningful date
  • A short phrase or a few words

Keep it short. The inside of a ring only has so much room, and thinner bands have less space than wide ones. Check the spelling of every name and the format of every date before we start. For details on what fits on your piece, and pricing, call or text (973) 673-3800.

What about men's wedding bands and engagement rings?

We carry engagement rings and men's wedding bands, and sizing and engraving are a natural next step after you pick one. Browse our rings collection, where each listing shows the metal, karat, weight and any stones. If you are buying a ring for a big moment, give yourself time for sizing and engraving before the date.

What should I bring?

  • The ring you want sized or engraved
  • The exact text for engraving, written down
  • A ring that fits, if you are sizing for someone else
