Kindly Consider:
Climate Fluctuations:
In New Orleans' varying temperatures, remember that heat can lead to finger expansion while cold air might cause slight shrinkage. To ensure accurate sizing, think about the climate you're most often in. For enhanced comfort, size up if heat-induced swelling occurs, and for a secure fit during cold periods, consider sizing down or using a ring size adjuster.
Finger Uniqueness:
Embrace the uniqueness of each finger. Keep in mind that your dominant hand tends to be slightly larger. Measure with a properly fitting ring on the specific finger and hand where your precious piece will be worn.
Lifestyle Impact:
Lifestyle factors matter. Alcohol consumption or excessive salt intake can lead to temporary body swelling, affecting your ring's fit.
Design and Size Compatibility:
Not all ring designs easily accommodate size adjustments. If you have a non-sizable ring, you can exchange it for the right size within 20 days of receiving your piece. Keep in mind that changes in size may impact gemstone count and precious metal weight, potentially affecting the price of the new ring.
Band Thickness:
The band thickness of your ring plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect fit. The extent of finger coverage directly influences how snug or comfortable the ring feels. This factor is also significant when you're thinking about stacking multiple rings to create a stunning ensemble. When using our measurement guide, opt for a ring with a similar band thickness to your intended purchase. This step guarantees a precise and comfortable fit that aligns with your preferences.

How to Measure Ring Size At Home
Welcome to the world of Porter Lyons Ring Sizing. Below is a guide created to walk you through the nuance of sizing your new treasure, allowing you to revel in the beauty of a precise fit and experience the perfect harmony between adornment and comfort.
How to Measuring an Existing Ring:
1. Print the Ring Size Guide:
Download and print our Ring Size Guide below. Maintain accurate scaling by selecting 100% in the scaling window within the print dialog box. This ensures that the measurements remain true to size.
2. Confirm Scaling Accuracy:
Measure the printed lines on the guide to ensure they match 1 inch and 30 millimeters respectively. This validation guarantees precise measurements for an impeccable fit.
3. Choose Your Perfect Ring:
Select a well-fitting ring from your collection to serve as a reference for your new piece. Ensure its worn on the desired finger for an exact match.
4. Align with Confidence:
Lay your chosen ring on the circles provided below, ensuring the inside edge of the ring aligns perfectly with the inside edge of the printed circle. Note that measuring from the outside edge will yield inaccurate results.
5. Between Sizes? No Worries:
Should you find yourself between sizes, Porter Lyons recommends ordering the next half size up. This minor adjustment ensures both a timeless fit and comfortable wear.
Additional Methods
For those without a printer or a precisely fitting ring, fear not. Below is a convenient and straightforward alternative to measure your ring size. All you need are common household items like a pen, string, paper, and a basic utensil for measurement.
Measuring with Paper or String
Wrap to Measure: Gently wrap the paper or string around the desired finger, achieving a snug yet comfortable fit. This initial step lays the foundation for an accurate measurement.
Mark the Overlap: Carefully mark the exact point where the paper or string overlaps, capturing the circumference of your finger with precision.
Measure with Confidence: Extend the material from its end to the marked spot. This measurement encapsulates your finger's size. Refer to the comprehensive chart below, which acts as your sizing compass.
Choosing the Ideal Size: Match your measured size with the corresponding measurement on the chart. If your result falls between two sizes, opt for the next half size up to ensure an impeccable fit.
