Ring Sizing and Re-Sizing
It is very important that your ring fits comfortably. Antony Jewelers will re-size your rings quickly, professionally and affordably.
Measuring Your Finger
Your ring should fit your finger comfortably: snug enough so it will not fall off, yet loose enough to slide over your knuckle.
Finger size changes depending on the time of day and the weather. For best results measure your finger size:
- At the end of the day and when your fingers are warm (Fingers are smaller in the early morning and when it is cold.)
- Measure your finger size 3 to 4 times to eliminate an erroneous reading.
Avoid using string or paper to measure ring size as these materials can stretch or twist, yielding an inaccurate measurement.

Women’s rings typically range from size 3 to 9. The most commonly purchased women’s ring sizes at Antony Jewelers range from size 5 to 7. Size 6 is the most popular ring size.

Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is a member of the platinum family of metals. It is hard, has high reflectivity, wears well and presents a good metallic white color. A thin electroplated rhodium coating is applied to white gold jewelry to improve its white appearance. If not subjected to undue abrasion or heat during repairs, rhodium coatings can have a lifetime of 1-3 years before they wear through and reveal the gold alloy underneath. For many consumers, the color of rhodium has become the norm for the color of white gold, because that is what they are used to seeing on jewelry described as white gold.
Antony's is an expert in rhodium plating used to improve the appearance of white gold jewelry and protect sterling silver from tarnishing and surface scratches.
