Ring Size

There are two Standard methods of measuring rings. Imperial Inches, or Metric Millimeters. We've always used imperial in our own work so this it the method we will sell our rings. If you are used to using Metric measure and need some advice on which size rings to use, please contact us and ask! Thanks!

Also, click here to see which ring size makes each weave!

We use the sizes we do as our main wire supplier uses them as well. It's just more convient for us than to try and find new suppliers that use one system or another.
