The list below is just to be interpreted as a general guidance, and not as an strict rule on what coin ring size can be made from any specific coin. Actual coin ring size can be expanded one size larger or smaller than listed. Normally large thick coins will produce coin ring that will look very big and bulky on medium and small hands, but sometimes this is what the person likes. It all comes down to personal preference. The opposite of this, a coin ring made out of small coin will need to be stretched to fit on large side hands. Small ring on big thick hands may look visually unbalanced, but in conclusion, there is not one specific good look of a coin ring on a hand. Remember, beauty is on the eye of the beholder.

 On last important note to remember is that all coin rings have an inherent characteristic, and that is that the inside band is not straight and has a slight taper. This will make your coin ring to measure one size larger than the other. About 1/4 to 1/2 half size smaller on the reed side. This happens because the inside where the hole is made) is normally thinner then the outside reed of the coin.  More over, because the inside section is stretched more during the forging of the coin ring. Because of this, the true ring size of a coin ring is the one taken from the reed side of the coin ring, and not the cut side which will always be slightly wider than the reed side.

Actual coin width and thickness (edge) is given to help you have some reference how big or thick coin ring will look.

**Note about metals and Skin Reaction**

Some people’ skins are more sensitive than other when they come in contact with different metals. Some may or may not develop a slight skin reaction to the metals used to make clad coins, which are made of a copper & nickel alloy. You’ll know right away  if your skin gets a reaction to these metals when your finger turns green or black underneath where you wear the ring. if this happens to you, don’t worry, green die  is not harmful and will easily wash a way with warm water and soap.

To keep this from happening I recommend coating the inside of the ring with some clear finger nail polish inside the ring and you will be good to go. You may need to re-apply the coating every few months.

If you plan to wear your coin-ring permanently every daily you may also consider buying a bit more expensive silver coin-ring , which unlike copper/nickel coins ,very rarely cause skin reaction to most people.

Rounds, unlike Coins, do not have any face value and they are not legal tenders, they are simply coined pieces of metal minted by private manufacturers. Rounds are used to own metal, copper, silver, gold). They have no value other than the value of the metal in them. Different from Coins, Rounds are not authorized by governments.

Rounds commonly are copies made as attribute to original coins; or medallion made to commemorate a historical event, or to pay recognition to special characters, individual in history, or outstanding athlete, or religious icon.

Rounds are also made as a token to visually express your opinion and show your stand in some polemic and sometimes controversial political, social or religious issues affecting the world at any given moment.

Before you begin, keep in mind you want to make sure that you measure the finger when it is at its largest.  For an accurate reading it is best to measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is at its largest. Fingers shrink in the cold temperature, so do not measure cold fingers.

As a general rule you will find that your fingers will be a half size larger on your dominant hand (the hand that you write with).

Another thing to consider is if the wearer suffers from arthritis and has wider knuckles than the base of their finger. In this case measure both the knuckle and the base of the finger and go for a point somewhere in between

To measure the finger all you need is:

• a piece of string, say 6 inches long (a strip of paper will do just as well)
• a pen to mark the string/paper
• a ruler (millimeter scale)

Firstly, wrap the piece of string or paper around the base of the finger that you want to measure.

Then, take the pen and mark on the string or paper where it overlaps to form a complete circle around your finger. Then, run the string or paper along your ruler to measure its length in mm.This measurement is the circumference of the string or paper loop. (the measurement all around the edge of the circle.)

Lastly compare this measurement with the chart below to find the nearest measurement to yours. This will then be your ring size.

 

 

If you want to buy the ring as a surprise for someone you can always ask a close friend or relative of the recipient if they know their ring size. Or you can always take one of their rings and run it down a tapered candle or similar item, then measure the circumference as before with a piece of string or strip of paper and compare the measurement to the chart.
