Size guide

Enter your measurement

  1. 1 Measure a ring you already own

    0 10 20 30mm inside: 17.3 mm = size N½
    1. Choose a ring that fits the finger you're buying for.
    2. Lay it flat and measure straight across the inside, edge to edge, at the widest point, in millimetres. Don't include the metal.
    3. Enter the number above, or find it in the inside diameter column of the chart.

  2. 2 Measure your finger

    0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70mm pen mark at 54.4 mm = size N½
    1. Wrap a thin strip of paper around the base of your finger, where the ring will sit. It should be snug, but still slide over your knuckle.
    2. Mark where the paper meets with a pen.
    3. Lay the strip flat on a ruler and read the length in millimetres.
    4. Enter the number above (choose "around your finger"), or find it in the inside circumference column.
    • Measure at the end of the day, when your fingers are warm and slightly larger.
    • If your knuckle is wider than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size in between.
    • Between two sizes? Choose the larger one, especially for wide bands.
    • Paper is better than string, which stretches. Measure two or three times.

  3. 3 Print our ring sizer

    A finger strip and ring circles on two A4 pages.

    Check before you measure: printers often shrink pages to fit, which gives the wrong size. Print at 100% / Actual size with "Fit to page" off, then measure the check lines on the sheet with a ruler. Each must be exactly 80 mm; if not, print again.

About Iolite

Iolite is the trade name for gem-quality cordierite, typically violetish blue, with its colour coming from iron. It shows strong pleochroism, meaning it looks a different colour from different angles.

Hardness
7–7.5 (Mohs)
Everyday wear
Iolite has perfect cleavage in one direction and is not very tough, so protective settings, pendants and earrings are the safest choices.
Care
Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft toothbrush; avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, high heat and sudden temperature changes.
Meaning and tradition
Iolite's name comes from the Greek 'ios', meaning violet. Legend calls it the 'Viking Compass Stone', said to have helped Viking navigators find the sun on cloudy days; some believe it unlocks creativity, and it is often cited as the 21st wedding anniversary gem.

Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
