Wie finde ich meine Ringgröße?

Am besten abends messen, weil Finger tagsüber leicht zunehmen. Ein Papierstreifen um den Finger, Länge in Millimetern ablesen, das ist direkt die deutsche Ringgröße.

Was mache ich, wenn der Ring nicht passt?

Edelstahl lässt sich praktisch nicht weiten, dafür ist das Material zu hart. Der Umtausch innerhalb der Rückgabefrist führt schneller zum Ziel als der Versuch einer Anpassung.

Kann ich Ringe stapeln?

Ja, sofern es gebündelt bleibt: zwei bis drei schmale Ringe an einem Finger statt verteilt über die ganze Hand.

Wie ist die deutsche Ringgröße definiert?

Die deutsche Ringgröße ist der Innenumfang in Millimetern. Größe 54 bedeutet 54 mm, eine Umrechnung entfällt.

Warum schwellen Finger im Tagesverlauf an?

Finger schwellen im Tagesverlauf an, besonders bei Wärme und nach salzigem Essen. Deshalb misst man abends und nicht morgens.

What is a birthstone ring?

Kurz gesagt: Birthstone Ring features the birthstone of your own month, personal, meaningful, ideal as a gift. Available for all 12 months.

In short: A birthstone ring features the birthstone of the month in which one was born, set in a ring—personal and meaningful at the same time. It is one of the most popular personalized pieces of jewelry worldwide. Wider rings have a smaller fit than narrow ones, which should be taken into account when choosing the size.

As of: September 2026. By Phil Oberlaender, Corelune Jewellery, Düsseldorf.

All rings at a glance

Which ring style is suitable for everyday wear?

Ring size	Inner circumference	How to measure
52	52 mm	Wrap a paper strip around the finger, read the length
54	54 mm	Measure in the evening, fingers are largest then
56	56 mm	Add half a size for wide rings
58	58 mm	The ring must fit over the knuckle

Which rings work for everyday use?

Narrow band rings are the most practical category. They don't snag on fabric, can be stacked, and do not get in the way when typing or wearing clothes. Statement rings look good, but are rarely suitable for a workday involving manual labor.

When stacking, two to three narrow bands work well on one finger. If you keep the rest of the hand relatively quiet, it looks organized rather than cluttered.

Remove rings when exercising, lifting heavy objects, and using cleaning agents. Pressure causes deformation, chemicals attack coatings, and both happen gradually.

Fashion jewelry rings made of stainless steel maintain their color and shape well in everyday life. However, they are the wrong category for engagement or wedding rings because the size cannot be adjusted and there is no underlying material value.

What do you get in which price range?

If you want to categorize price, you should distinguish between material value and utility value. Extra costs for elaborate clasps pay off; extra costs for packaging and brand names do not. The 14-day return policy removes some of the risk from the decision anyway.

What goes well with rings?

When combining, you should choose one metal tone and stick with it, at least at the beginning. Simple shapes go well with the office; for the evening, one piece may be significantly larger than the rest. You don't need more, because combining is a matter of spacing and color, not rules.

What do buyers regularly fall for when it comes to rings?

Errors repeat so reliably with rings that a short list is worth it. When giving a gift, there is also the fact that people decide according to their own taste instead of that of the recipient. If you remain unsure, go for the simpler piece, as that is worn more often.

How do you recognize quality in rings?

Anyone who has ever had to discard a piece after a few weeks knows the spots where it gives way first. Look for evenly formed components, as deviations indicate spots that will give way first under stress. Checking these three points filters out most bad purchases before ordering.

How do you properly care for rings?

With rings, care is most worthwhile in places you don't see. Abrasive agents, toothpaste, and ultrasonic cleaners cause more harm than good, especially with glued-in stones. The stainless steel core remains unaffected by this and keeps its shape.

In what situations is it better to take off your rings?

Those who wear rings daily should know three situations in which the risk increases significantly. When exercising, there is tension on the clasp and eyelets; during sleep, parts twist; and heavy work takes a toll on the surface. The point is not to be overly cautious, but to avoid the three moments with the highest risk.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my ring size?

It is best to measure in the evening because fingers swell slightly during the day. Wrap a paper strip around your finger, read the length in millimeters—that is directly the German ring size.

What do I do if the ring doesn't fit?

Stainless steel is practically impossible to resize; the material is too hard. Exchanging within the return period leads to the goal faster than trying to make an adjustment.

Can I stack rings?

Yes, as long as it stays bundled: two to three narrow rings on one finger instead of spread across the whole hand.

This is what it looks like in the assortment: Stainless steel ring, adjustable and Narrow Wavy Wonder gold stainless steel ring. You can find more rings in the category Rings.

How is the German ring size defined?

The German ring size is the inner circumference in millimeters. Size 54 means 54 mm, no conversion is necessary.

Why do fingers swell during the day?

Fingers swell during the day, especially in warmth and after salty food. That is why you should measure in the evening and not in the morning.
