Adjustable rings have become a go-to favourite at PIPPA STUDIO - not only because they’re stylish, but because they make choosing the right size so much easier.
If you’ve ever struggled to find your ring size or hesitated to buy rings online, this guide is for you.
Let’s walk through everything you need to know: how adjustable rings work, how to measure your size, and how to make sure your ring fits perfectly.
What Are Adjustable Rings?
Adjustable rings have a small gap in the band that allows you to gently open or close the ring to fit your finger. They’re a smart alternative to traditional closed rings - especially if you:
- Have larger knuckles
- Have fingers that swell throughout the day
- Like wearing rings on different fingers
- Want a ring that adapts as your hands change over time
At PIPPA STUDIO, our adjustable rings are made from stainless steel - durable, water-resistant and comfortable to adjust.
How Do I Know if an Adjustable Ring Will Fit Me?
Adjustable rings are flexible, but not “one-size-fits-all”. Each ring has a safe opening and closing range, and your finger needs to fall within that range. To find the right fit, simply compare:
-
The inner diameter of the ring (listed on our product page)
with - Your own inner diameter (measured directly or calculated from your finger circumference)
If the numbers match, the ring will fit comfortably.
How to Measure a Ring You Already Wear (Most accurate method)
- Choose a ring that fits the finger where you’ll wear your new one.
- Place it on a flat surface.
- Measure the inner diameter, side to side, in millimetres (mm).
- Compare your measurement to the inner diameter listed on our product page.
This is the most precise method because you’re measuring a ring that already works for you.
How to Measure Your Finger (If You Don’t Have a Ring)
- Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of your finger.
- Mark where the ends meet.
- Measure the length in millimetres - this is your finger circumference.
- Convert circumference to diameter:
diameter = circumference ÷ 3.14 (π)
Tips for accuracy:
- Measure at the end of the day (your fingers are slightly larger).
- Avoid cold hands.
- Measure twice to confirm.
How Far Can Adjustable Rings Open and Close?
PIPPA STUDIO stainless steel rings have a safe flexibility range:
- To tighten: up to 2.0 mm - 2.5 mm
- To open: up to 0.5 mm - 1.0 mm
This lets the ring comfortably adapt to different finger sizes without losing its shape.
After Measuring - What’s Next?
- Compare your measurement (inner diameter) with the size shown in the product description.
- If you’re between two sizes, choose the slightly larger one - it’s easier to gently tighten an adjustable ring than to open it further.
- Small differences (0.1 - 0.3 mm) are normal and the ring will still fit well.
How Do Adjustable Rings Work?
They have a small opening and are made from a slightly flexible metal (stainless steel), allowing you to:
- Adjust the fit on your finger
- Wear the ring on different fingers
- Pass over the knuckle with less discomfort
- Keep the ring comfortable throughout the day
How to Make an Adjustable Ring Bigger
If it feels tight:
- Hold both sides of the opening.
- Gently pull outward - only a tiny amount at a time.
- Use your thumbs to stabilise the top of the ring.
- Try it on and adjust as needed.
How to Make an Adjustable Ring Smaller
If it feels loose:
- With the ring on your finger, press the two ends gently together.
- Close small amounts at a time.
- Adjust until it feels secure but comfortable.
Should I Size Up or Size Down?
When in doubt, size up.
A ring that’s slightly large is much easier to tighten without damaging the band.
A ring that’s too small may be difficult - or impossible - to open safely.
