What counts as a “confirmed ring size”?

  • You’ve requested a ring sizer in your DNA Collection Kit, please make sure to note this on the form inside the kit.

    If you’re short on time, you can also email me your confirmed ring size. This is especially helpful if your kit may not make it back to me before the ring size confirmation deadline.

I can’t guarantee pre‑Christmas delivery for kits received after the dates above.
