    Not sure if this is the right forum to ask in but I have very small fingers with the biggest beinng a size k and I struggle to find rings to fit

    Anyone else had this problem? Forme it's particularly with rings that have large stones

    I'm a J, and only have one ring I wear the odd time that I had to have sized.

    I know Carrig Donn do smaller sized rings as my OH got me one from there as a present a few years ago. It's probably a J/K as it's just a fraction too big for my little finger.

    I've just taken a quick look at their rings online, and it says sizes 6/8, but I'm not sure how that would convert to letter sizes?

    Just checked size conversion chart, assuming it's American sizing a 6/8 would be anything between an M and an R! Maybe it's an adjustable ring?
    J is an American 4.5, 15.49mm in diameter, if that helps at all :)

    My ring sizes are a H and I. Impossible to buy rings off the shelf. It's such a pity as they are nice costume rings in shops and they all fall off my fingers. I would imagine the only place to buy costume rings to fit would be Claire's Accessories. My engagement and wedding rings had to be ordered and specially made. On my other hand I wear a Claddagh ring and that's from the kids range in a local jewellers.

    I know someone with tiny fingers who got an antique engagement ring, a jeweller fitted two little gold/metal bumps to the inside of it, to make it fit better. Another option for you to consider if you found a ring you really loved that couldn't be re-sized.

    I'm the same - the only rings I can wear are specially ordered or resized in jewellers. Even in high street jewellers the smallest size the ring is made would be too big and it would have to be sent off to be reduced.

    Wow, that's some variety in what would appear to be 2 sizes! I'm now very impressed my oh managed to get a ring small enough for me there!

    It goes in quarter numbers over there. So there 6, 6 1/4, 6 1/2 and so on.

    You can get a thing called a ring clip in some jewellers. I got one the time of my wedding to wear a ring which had belonged to my nan and had a blue gem in it. I wouldn't wear a ring with this ring clip on every day or even frequently as it was fairly uncomfortable but was fine for a quick fix.
