How do I find my ring size?
Finding the correct ring size is important to ensure that the ring fits comfortably and securely. Here is a guide to help you find the perfect fit.
Measuring with an existing ring
If you already own a ring that fits perfectly on the finger you want to buy a new ring for, you can use this as an accurate reference. Place the ring on a flat surface and measure its inside diameter from one inside edge to the other with a ruler or caliper. Once you have measured the diameter in millimeters, you can use the guide here to find your ring size.
Measuring the circumference of the finger
If you don't have a suitable ring, you can measure the circumference of your finger instead. Use a thin string, a piece of paper or a flexible tape measure and wrap it around the finger where the ring will be placed. Make sure it fits snugly without being too tight, and mark the point where the ends meet. Then measure the distance between the marks in millimeters with a ruler. This measurement corresponds to the circumference of your finger and can be used to find the correct ring size.
Important considerations when measuring
Please note that your finger size may vary depending on the temperature. Fingers tend to expand in heat and contract in cold, so it is best to measure at room temperature to get the most accurate size possible. Additionally, fingers may be slightly larger in the evening than in the morning, so for optimal accuracy, it may be a good idea to take several measurements at different times and use an average. Wide rings can also feel a little tighter than narrow rings, so if you are considering a wide ring, you may want to choose a slightly larger size.
Professional measurement
For the most accurate measurement, visit a local jeweler. They can measure your ring size with special tools and ensure a perfect fit. This is especially helpful if you are considering investing in a valuable ring. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your ring fits perfectly and feels comfortable in everyday wear.
