Size Guide: Rings

How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

1. What You’ll Need:

  • A strip of paper or piece of string (preferably non-stretchy)
  • A pen or marker
  • A ruler (preferably with millimeters)

2. Step-by-Step Measurement Guide:

Step 1: Prepare the Strip of Paper or String

Cut a thin strip of paper roughly 3-4 inches long or use a piece of string.

Step 2: Wrap It Around Your Finger

Wrap the paper or string around the base of the finger you wish to size. Ensure it’s snug but still comfortable – tight enough to not fall off, but not squeezing.

Step 3: Mark the Overlap Point

With your pen or marker, make a small mark at the point where the paper or string meets.

Step 4: Measure the Length

Lay the paper or string flat and measure from the end to your mark using your ruler. Note the length in millimeters.

3. Use a Ring Size Chart

Once you’ve measured your finger's circumference in millimeters, refer to a ring size chart to find your corresponding ring size. For example:

  • 47 mm circumference = US size 4
  • 48 mm circumference = US size 4.5
  • 49 mm circumference = US size 5
  • 51 mm circumference = US size 5.5
  • 52 mm circumference = US size 6
  • 53 mm circumference = US size 6.5
  • 54 mm circumference = US size 7
  • 57 mm circumference = US size 8

4. Measuring Tips

  • Measure later in the day: Fingers can swell throughout the day – it’s best to measure at the end of the day when they’re at their largest.
  • Consider knuckle size: If your knuckles are larger than the base of your finger, choose a size that fits over the knuckle but isn’t loose at the base.
  • Measure twice to be sure: Accuracy matters — repeat the measurement to confirm you’ve got it right.
