If you are able to take one of the recipient's ring to a high street jeweller, they will be able to measure the size for you. If you can't take the ring to a jeweller then an alternative method is to measure across the inner diameter of the band which we can convert to a size. This method is not very exact so it is definitely preferable to have a ring sized at a jewellers if at all possible!
