What is the most accurate way to find my ring size?

The most accurate way to find your ring size is by using a ring sizer tool or visiting a jeweler. However, our printable ring size chart is a great alternative for measuring at home.

How do I use a printable ring sizer?

Midi Rings 101 – The Ultimate Guide to Stackable Style

Midi rings, also known as knuckle rings, are the perfect way to add a little edge to your jewelry game. These versatile rings sit above the middle joint of your fingers, rather than at the base like traditional rings. Whether worn solo or stacked for maximum impact, midi rings are a subtle statement that works for any occasion—without going full statement-piece drama.

A Quick History of Midi Rings

Believe it or not, midi rings have been around way longer than the 2010s trend would suggest. The origin story is a little hazy, but ancient Greeks and Egyptians were already rocking these beauties. By the 15th and 16th centuries, they became a status symbol among wealthy Europeans, signaling that the wearer was far removed from manual labor. Back then, they were often called tea rings or memory rings, worn as a touch of elegance.

Fast forward to today, and midi rings are a must-have accessory for celebs like Rihanna, Heidi Klum, and Miley Cyrus, blending boho chic with modern minimalism.

What is a Knuckle Ring?

Knuckle rings, sometimes called tea rings or knuckle dusters, sit above the middle joint of the finger—just like midi rings. Historically, these rings had practical uses, dating back to ancient Rome when warriors used a cestus glove for extra knuckle protection. These days, knuckle rings are more about style than battle, but their resurgence in fashion is proof of their staying power.

Midi Ring vs. Knuckle Ring: Is There a Difference?

Nope. Midi rings and knuckle rings are essentially the same thing. Midi rings tend to be daintier and sit in the middle of the finger, while knuckle rings can sit closer to the second knuckle. Either way, they’re fabulous for stacking and layering.

Can You Wear Midi Rings Every Day?

Yes! With the right fit, midi rings are perfect for daily wear. Just make sure to choose high-quality 925 sterling silver bands that won’t tarnish or snag on your clothes. Thin silver bands are especially great for all-day comfort.

How to Wear Midi Rings Like a Pro

Want to look effortlessly cool? Styling midi rings is all about balance.

1. Start with One or Two

If you’re a midi ring newbie, keep it simple. One ring on each hand is a good starting point. Once you’re comfortable, stack away for a boho-inspired vibe.

2. Mix Textures, Not Metals

Since NYXA’s all about silver, play with different textures—like hammered bands paired with smooth ones—for added depth without overcomplicating things.

3. Balance Your Look

If you’re rocking multiple midi rings, keep your other jewelry subtle. Avoid chunky bracelets or oversized earrings that might compete with your rings.

How to Size Midi Rings Perfectly

NYXA’s midi rings come in sizes XS to XL, which translate to ring sizes 1 through 5. These sizes are specifically designed to fit above the first knuckle. For a snug fit, especially on tapered fingers, size down if you want the ring to sit higher on your finger.

Do Midi Rings Fall Off?

Contrary to what you might think, midi rings don’t fall off if you choose the right size. A snug (but not tight) fit will keep them securely in place during your daily activities.

Why Midi Rings Are Perfect for Stacking

The best thing about midi rings? They’re stack-friendly. Combine them with traditional silver bands for a layered look, or wear multiple midi rings on one finger for a bold statement. For a little extra sparkle, add a dainty gemstone ring to the mix.

Frequently Asked Questions About Midi Rings & Stackable Knuckle Rings

1. What is a midi ring?

A midi ring is a ring designed to sit above the knuckle, usually on the first or second joint of your finger. Also known as knuckle rings, these delicate yet bold pieces add a layered look to your jewelry styling.

2. How do you wear midi rings?

Midi rings are typically worn stacked with regular rings or alone for a minimalist look. To keep them secure, choose a size that fits snugly on the upper part of your finger. For a balanced aesthetic, mix textures, metals, and designs.

3. Do midi rings fall off easily?

A well-fitted midi ring should stay in place without slipping. Look for adjustable bands or choose a size that fits snugly on your upper finger joint. If your midi ring feels loose, try wearing it on a different finger or layering it with other rings.

Midi rings are usually two to four sizes smaller than your base ring size. The best way to find your fit is to measure your upper finger with a ring sizer or visit a jeweler.
