Ring Size
Finding your ring size is simple with these easy steps. First, use a piece of string or a strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your finger. Make a mark where the ends meet. Measure the string or paper against a ruler to find the circumference in millimeters. Next, use our ring size chart to match this measurement to the corresponding ring size.
Alternatively, you can figure out the size of a ring that you already have by measuring that ring’s inner diameter.
Methods for Measuring Ring Size
Option A: Use a Ring Sizer
- You can purchase or borrow a ring sizer tool online or from most jewelry stores. These are usually plastic or metal and come in a range of sizes. Adjust the tool until you find a size that fits comfortably.
Option B: Use a String or Paper Strip
- Wrap a strip of paper or a thin piece of string around the base of your finger.
- Mark the point where the ends meet.
- Measure the length of the paper or string with a ruler (in millimeters).
- Use a sizing chart to find the corresponding ring size.
Option C: Measure an Existing Ring
- If you have a ring that fits well on the finger you plan to wear your wedding band on, use a ruler to measure the ring’s inner diameter. Then, refer to a ring size chart to determine the size.
Choosing the Right Fit
- Snug But Comfortable: The ring should fit snugly enough not to fall off, yet loose enough to slide over your knuckle without a struggle. A proper fit will have a little resistance as it goes over the knuckle but should sit comfortably on the finger.
Determine Your Ring Size at the Right Time
- Time of Day: Measure your ring size at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest. Finger size can change due to temperature, activity, and even diet, so it’s best to size when your fingers are warm, not cold.
- Weather Matters: Avoid measuring when it’s cold; fingers tend to shrink in cold temperatures and expand in warm ones.
