Saddle Hangers
Saddle hangers can vary from design to design, and some styles may have larger outer widths and outer heights than usual. Each saddle hanger's listed size already accounts for any wide flares, and also your comfort and fit at your gauge size.
However, please pay attention to the notes in each product description on whether the style runs large or small. When it comes to saddle hangers, some might prefer a fitted look whilst others may prefer a looser fit, especially at bigger lobe sizes. Therefore we recommend using any measurement charts provided to compare against your existing jewelry and approximate your best fit.

What you’ll need: a thin strip of paper or a piece of string, a pen or marker and a ruler.
- Wrap the strip of paper or string around your finger. Ensure a full, closed loop is formed.
- Adjust the size of the loop to your desired fit, ensuring it sits comfortably. Make sure the loop can still slide over your knuckles.
- When you find your desired fit, use a pen and mark the start and the end of the loop.
- Lay your string or paper on a flat surface and measure the distance between the 2 points. This will be the circumference of your ring.
- Refer to our ring size guide to find your size according to your measurement
Our rings fit true to size. If you are in-between sizes, size down for thin rings and size up for thick rings (above 3mm in width of band) to maintain a comfortable fit.
