Printable Ring Size Guide
Benz & Co provides a printable ring sizer that can help you determine your ring size. Prior to printing, ensure that page scaling is set to "none" on your print dialog box. View
Measuring Your Finger
Your ring should fit your finger comfortably; snug enough so that it will not fall off, but 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:
1. At the end of the day and when your fingers are warm (Fingers are smaller in the early morning and when cold.)
2. Measure 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.
Ring Sizes
Women’s rings typically range from size 3.5 to 9. The most common women’s ring sizes range from size 5-7. Size 6 being the most popular ring size.
Men’s rings typically range from size 8 to 14. The most common men’s ring size range from size 8-10-½. Size 9 being the most popular ring size.
Tips For Buying The Ring As A Surprise
Ask your significant other’s friends or family if they know her finger size.
Borrow one of your significant other’s rings (from the correct finger) and use the ring measurements above to determine its size.
Free Resizing
Benz & Co provides complimentary resizing during the first year. Simply contact a Diamond & Jewelry Consultant at 1 800-819-2708 to arrange for your free resizing. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the product, according to our return policy.
(Diamond eternity rings with a specific number of gemstones per finger size cannot be resized).
International Size Conversion
If ordering from outside of the US or Canada, determine your ring size according to your country’s standard. Then use the International Ring Size Chart to convert to the corresponding US ring size to place your order.

WHAT ARE CONFLICT-FREE DIAMONDS?

Benz & Co, along with the global diamond industry, has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds.
Through measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from mine to market, the industry in partnership with the United Nations, governments, and non-governmental organizations, polices diamond exports to prevent the trade of illegal diamonds.
Conflict diamonds are diamonds illegally traded to fund conflict in war-torn areas, particularly in central and western Africa. The United Nations (UN) defines conflict diamonds as "...diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council." These diamonds are sometimes referred to and better known as "blood diamonds."
Conflict diamonds captured the world's attention during the extremely brutal conflict in Sierra Leone in the late 1990s. During this time, it is estimated that conflict diamonds represented approximately 4% of the world's diamond production. Illicit rough diamonds have also been used by rebels to fund conflicts in Angola, Liberia, Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo (also known as Congo Brazzaville). Today, the flow of conflict diamonds has been reduced considerably to less than 1%.
All Benz diamonds are warranted to be conflict free.
