Why We Make Extended Ring Sizes: Our Commitment to Inclusivity
At Take Shape Studio, we believe that everyone deserves to wear beautiful, well-crafted rings that fit perfectly—regardless of your finger size. The jewelry industry has long overlooked extended sizing, often limiting options for a majority of people. We’re changing that by offering a wide spectrum of ring sizes, ensuring that style and self-expression are accessible to all.
It's Personal
Our founder has size 7.5-10 fingers and found that she was buying rings for her ring finger over and over. It was always thrilling to find a ring that fit her other fingers and she'd sometimes compromise on style just for the larger size.
We are continuously overjoyed to see the excitement and relief on costumers' faces when they find rings that fit just right, and it's our commitment to expand all of our styles from 5-14. We've even started adding smaller sizes (available at markets or by request) for teeny tiny pinkies.
The Importance of Extended Ring Sizes
-
Inclusivity: Many jewelers only make rings from size 6-9, leaving customers with larger or smaller fingers with few options. We’re committed to making sure that no one is left out, and that every customer can find a ring that fits comfortably and looks stunning. If we don't have your size in our permanent extended collection, we will do any size custom!
-
Confidence and Comfort: A ring that fits well isn’t just more comfortable—it also boosts confidence. Our extended sizing ensures that every customer can enjoy both the look and feel of their jewelry.
How We Do It: The Process Behind Extended Sizing
Creating rings in extended sizes isn’t as simple as resizing a standard mold. It requires thoughtful design, additional resources, and a commitment to quality.
- Designing for All Sizes: When we create a new ring style, we consider how it will look and feel across the entire size range. This means adjusting proportions, band thickness, and sometimes even the placement of stones or decorative elements to ensure the ring remains comfortable, durable, and beautiful at every size.
- Creating Additional Casting Molds
-
-
Sample Sizes: We make additional ring samples in a larger range of sizes that are then molded and added to our permanent collection.
-
Multiple Molds: Instead of relying on one master mold, we invest in additional casting molds for extended sizes. This allows us to produce rings that are perfectly proportioned for every finger, maintaining the integrity of the original design.
-
Durability Adjustments: For larger sizes, we may increase the band thickness or adjust the setting to provide extra strength and comfort, ensuring the ring is as durable as it is stylish.
-
- Casting and Finishing: Once the molds are ready, we cast each ring in the appropriate size using high-quality metals. After casting, each ring is carefully polished, set with stones, and inspected for quality. This process ensures that every ring—no matter the size—meets our exacting standards.
