- Veale Fine Jewellery will provide access to a UK industry standard ring sizer and advise all customers on fit and/or how they can obtain a ring size estimate if the ring is a gift. However, the final decision on ring size is the choice of the customer and once it has been agreed and the deposit paid, the ring will be made to this given ring size.
