How To Use The Kit
1. Try one shape at a time
Put one shape on your hand.
Look at it properly before moving to the next one.
2. Use normal light
Check it in everyday lighting.
Not just bright shop lights, sunlight, or perfect angles.
3. Compare your favourites
Pick the shapes you liked most.
Then place them side by side so the right choice is easier to see.
4. Try both metal tones
Test your favourites on gold-tone and silver-tone bands.
The same shape can look different depending on the metal colour.
Save What You Loved
Your ring preferences deserve to be remembered properly.
This helps us understand your style before we help with the real ring.
It also means if your partner comes to us later, we can look up your preferences and guide them toward what you actually love.
You can save:
- Your favourite shape
- The size you preferred
- Your metal tone
- Your ring size
- Notes from your try-on
You do not need to know everything yet. Save what you know, and we can help with the rest.
Helpful to know while comparing
That is normal.
Start by removing the shapes you do not like. Then compare your favourites side by side.
That is also normal.
Some shapes can feel similar at first, but very different once you compare them on your hand.
Save your top two or three. We can help you narrow them down before the real ring is made.
Try your favourite shape on both bands.
Some people know straight away. Others need to come back to it a few times.
There is no perfect answer. You are looking for the metal tone that feels most natural on your hand.
That is normal.
Finger size can change with heat, cold, exercise, travel, and time of day.
Check your size more than once if you can. A good fit should feel secure, but not tight.
Save your preferences or reply to us with your favourite shape, size, metal tone, and any photos from your try-on.
From there, we can help turn those choices into the real ring.

FAQs
Look at how the stone sits on your hand, not just the number.
A size is usually right when it feels balanced with your finger, your hand, and the way you dress day to day.
You are not trying to choose the biggest stone.
You are trying to choose the one that feels right on you.
Not automatically.
A bigger stone can look beautiful, but it also needs to feel comfortable, balanced, and wearable.
The best size is the one you would still love in normal lighting, with normal clothes, on a normal day.
Not just the one that feels exciting.
Choose the size you keep coming back to.
If you are unsure, compare both in normal light and wear them for a few minutes each.
Often, one will start to feel more natural.
That is usually the better clue than the number.
Carat is weight, not size.
Two stones can have the same carat weight but face up differently on the hand.
Because measurements, shape, cut, and proportions all change how large a stone appears.
Even if two stones are listed as the same carat weight, they may not have the same length, width, or visual spread.
This is why trying the size on your hand is more useful than judging from a number alone.
The Confirmation Ring
Helpful to know before you choose
Yes. You can save your preferred shape, size, metal tone, ring size, and notes.
That way, if your partner comes to Henry Francis later, we can see what you liked and help guide them properly.
They do not have to rely on memory.
And you do not have to hope they understood the hint.
That is normal.
Do not force the decision in one sitting.
Try them again later, compare your favourites side by side, and rule out the ones you know are not right.
The goal is not to choose instantly.
The goal is to stop guessing.
That can happen.
Your finger size can change with temperature, time of day, travel, salt, and activity.
Check your size more than once if you are unsure.
The best size is the one that feels comfortable most of the time, not just for one moment.
