Understanding Ring Size

When it comes to wedding and engagement rings, be aware of the following. Normal ring sizes are provided in millimeters, measured on the inner ring diameter.

How Can I Measure My Finger For A Ring?

We highly recommend that you use our printable ring sizing system if you have access to a printer since it is the quickest way of getting a precise measurement. You should use a string or a paper strip to measure your finger. Alternatively, you can use an existing ring if you don't have access to a printer.

How to Measure with a Ring Sizer?

Take a piece of rope, string, ribbon or a small strip of paper. Then, curl the paper or string at the knuckle around your finger. Label the place where the string or paper intersects, including its end accurately, with a pen. Put it next to a ruler or tape measure that has a millimeter-length scale.

To measure your ring size at home, follow these 3 steps accurately:

1.   Measure Your Finger

Among the simpler of methods for measuring your ring size, take a paper strip or string to determine your size. To start with, cut out such a piece of paper approximately. 3/4" width and 4" long. Place the paper from around the bottom of the finger and identify the overlaps of the paper. Your finger's length is the diameter of the paper you weighed by mm.

Using our conversion map to find the acceptable ring size after this calculation has been found. If the finger scale far below knuckle varies dramatically from the knuckle themselves, evaluate your knuckle and pick a size which goes perfectly into the center.

2.   Measure a Ring You Already Have

You can use a length to calculate the internal surface of this ring if you have a ring which already matches your finger. Taking your measurement and calculate directly around the side of the ring. Using our measurement conversion diagram to locate the ring size and calculate the diameter in millimeters.

3.   Print Our Paper Ring Gauge

You can also use your desktop to print the ring sizing gauge below. When printing the gauge, make sure that the scale is set to 100 per cent and that the "Fit to Page" box stays unmarked in order to achieve a correct printout calculation. Place the ring over the measuring guide's circles to find a matching measurement. Alternatively, you can remove the pre-measured paper strip and use that to calculate the right ring size for your finger by matching it with the closest circle size. If the ring or paper strip is between two sizes, choose the larger size.

Using the Ring Circle Gauge to Determine Ring Size:

1. Measurements should match the inside of the ring and not the outside circumference.

4. If you're ordering a ring as a surprise gift for someone and have access to one of his or her existing rings, then you can you use that ring to determine the right size that you should order. Place the ring over the circles below and find the matching size.
