How To Find Your Ring Size

You might find it frustrating to figure out the ring size for you or your fiancée, especially if you want to keep the proposal plans a surprise. In order to ensure that your proposal is as worry-free as possible, Novita offers a wide range of options and solutions for finding the right size for your proposal, whether you are trying to keep it a secret or not.

For Surprise Proposals

Let our Experts Help You

Our team will measure your hands professionally! Visit us at one of our showrooms for the best and most accurate results. Alternatively, you can send us pictures of your or your future fiancée’s hands if you are unable to physically visit us. Using photos, our team members can estimate the ring size, which isn’t easy, but we are able to do so very well and end up close to the real size.

Because fingers naturally expand when active, we always recommend our customers get a slightly larger size so the ring will fit on the proposal day. Nevertheless, if the ring doesn’t fit perfectly after she says yes, she can always get the ring resized at any of our NOVITA showrooms. Because we understand how important it is to have a perfect fit, NOVITA offers a free resizing with the purchase of every engagement ring (valid for a year after purchase).

If visiting our showroom or any other jewellery store is difficult for you, you can order our free ring sizer instead.

TIP: It is important that our free ring sizer, or any other ring sizer, fits tight on your finger for a secure and comfortable fit. Engagement rings should fit snugly and be difficult to remove without being uncomfortable.

Download Our Ring Sizer

Download and print our “How to find your ring size guide” for an easy way to measure your or your fiancé’s ring size. Included in the guide are two easy ways to measure a ring’s size.
This kit comes with a ruler that can be easily cut out and used directly to measure your ring finger. Follow the included instructions, and you will soon know what size you need.
It is also possible to use a current ring, not the finger, to measure the ring size. The first step is to remove one of the rings you or she wears, but make sure it is not being worn on the thumb or pinkie finger. Next, you can find out the size of the ring by matching it with printed circles. This method is best for those who already wear a well-worn and comfortable ring.
Alternatively, if you prefer to get a more accurate measurement, you can order a free ring sizer kit. You can expect to receive your ring sizer within 1-4 days of ordering in New Zealand; however, if you are ordering from outside New Zealand, please allow up to 14 days. To order one, simply click the button below, fill in your details, and we will ship it right to your door.

Ring Resize

Trying on the rings in person is the best way by far to make sure the ring size is perfect if your partner is involved in the engagement. For a comfortable and secure ring, come to any of our showrooms, and our staff will be more than happy to accurately measure your finger size. Alternatively, you can visit a local jewellery store to get your finger measured if your neighbourhood does not have a NOVITA showroom yet.

Helpful Tips

  1. On cold days your fingers may be slightly smaller.
  2. On hot days your fingers may be slightly swollen.
  3. Wider rings will feel tighter.
  4. Usually, our dominant hand is slightly bigger.
  5. Thinner rings will feel looser.
  6. We can try to estimate the finger size if you send us photos of her hand.
  7. If unsure, the most common sizes are M - N /6 - 6.5

In New Zealand, rings are typically sized M, N, but if your partner’s finger size is smaller or thinner than average, we recommend a J, K, or L size, and if their finger size is larger, we recommend an O, P, or Q size.

Please remember that your first resize is free, so there is no need to stress if you get it wrong the first time.
