The average women's ring size is L½ and the average men's ring size is Q
Guessing your partner's ring size corectly can be done with a little common sense.
If you have a petite partner, it's likely that their hands are smaller with slender fingers, so try starting at size H or I for women, and around an N for men.
If they're closer to an average height, chances are they have and average finger size to match. An average finger size is L½ for women and a Q for men.
Finally, if your partner is above average height or build, their weight will be naturally distributed across their whold body, so it might be a good idea to start at around a ring size M or N for a woman and a size T for men.

If you don't manage to find the right ring size, we offer a complimentary first re-size on most Taylor & Hart designs to make things nice and simple.
Can all rings be resized?
Unfortunately not. If the ring needs to be resized any more than two sizes larger or smaller, there may be a fee that you must pay as your ring may have to be remade.
Also, some designs are unable to be resized, for example, full eternity rings or twisted bands. In this case, product pages will specify if they are unable to be resized and for bespoke designs, your design consultant will notify you if your design is unable to be resized.
Does resizing a ring weaken it?
In cases where the ring is being resized one or two sizes up or down, no.
Resizing is nommonplace at our workshop. To resize your ring, we make a small incision in the band and extend or tighten it as required. Once that's completed, the gap is soldered and polished to seamlessly hide any evidence of alterations.
When a ring needs to be resized any more than two sizes larger or smaller, there may be a fee that you must pay as your ring may have to be re-made to ensure its durability.
