Across the rings we have made in the past year, 16MM and 17MM are our two most-ordered sizes. Women's designs are made in 16MM to 19MM and men's bands in 18MM to 21MM, so 18MM and 19MM appear on both. Treat any of that as a starting guess only, never a substitute for measuring the actual finger.
It is the inner diameter of the band: the opening through the middle measures 17.0 millimetres across. Lay a ring you already wear flat on a millimetre ruler and measure the inside of the band, metal edge to metal edge. If you read 17mm you need our 17MM, which is about US 6½ and UK M½.
Borrow a ring she already wears on the correct hand and measure the inside diameter on a ruler. If it has to go back within the minute, press it into soap and measure the impression later — the soap keeps the shape, it does not make the reading more accurate. A sister, mother or close friend usually knows and usually keeps the secret. If you genuinely cannot find out, order 17MM, tell us it is a guess, and we will flag the order before the piece goes to the bench.
No. There is no separate Pakistani standard. Jewellers in Pakistan quote the inner diameter in millimetres, the US uses numbers and the UK uses letters for the same physical measurement, and the chart on this page converts between them. Be sceptical of any site advertising a distinct "Pakistani size". If a local jeweller has given you a number on the subcontinental 1–30 scale, send us that number on WhatsApp rather than converting it yourself.
A band wider than about 8mm sits against more of the finger and feels tighter than a slim band of the same inner diameter. But our sizes step a full millimetre, which is far more than the allowance a wide band needs, so do not jump a whole size. Tell us the band width when you order and we will allow for it at the bench.
Fingers are smallest in cold weather and first thing in the morning, and largest in heat and by late evening. The swing is small but real, and Karachi is warm for most of the year. Measure in the late afternoon, and if you fall between two sizes take the larger one.
Rings brought back to our Karachi workshop can be resized there. Fully set eternity bands and certain gemstone settings cannot be altered without remaking the piece, so ask before ordering one of those. If you are elsewhere in Pakistan, message us before sending anything back and we will confirm in writing who books the courier, what it costs and how long it takes for your particular piece. Engraved and custom-made pieces cannot be returned or refunded.
You can, but only if your printer is set to 100% scale with any "fit to page" option switched off — scaling makes every circle on the sheet wrong. Check the printout against a ruler before you use it. Measuring an existing ring directly on a ruler, or sending us a photo of it lying on a ruler, is more reliable.
