To find your ring size, you can follow these simple at-home methods:
Measuring Your Finger with Paper or String
- Take a narrow strip of paper or a piece of string.
- Wrap it around the base of the finger you want to measure, making sure it fits comfortably over the knuckle.
- Mark the point where the paper or string overlaps with a pen.
- Lay the paper or string flat and measure its length in millimeters using a ruler.
- This measurement is the circumference of your finger.
- Use a ring size chart to convert this circumference to your ring size.
For example, if your finger circumference is 54.5 mm, your US ring size would be 7
Measuring an Existing Ring
- Find a ring that fits the intended finger well.
- Measure the internal diameter of the ring in millimeters by placing it on a ruler and measuring the inside edge to inside edge.
- Use a ring size chart to find your ring size based on this diameter.
For instance, a ring with an internal diameter of 17.3 mm corresponds to a US size 7
Tips for Accuracy
- Measure your finger at different times of the day and take the average to account for swelling.
- Make sure the paper or string is snug but not too tight.
- For the most precise measurement, visit a local jeweler who can professionally size your finger
