How to measure your ring size?
1. How to measure your ring size with a ring sizer:
- Finger thickness changes throughout the day. Avoid measuring it after waking up, physical activity, or in extreme weather. Best time to measure is at the end of the day when thickness is optimal. If between sizes, choose larger.
- Ring diameter should be slightly larger than finger thickness.
- Ring should fit snugly but slide easily over joint. If joint is wider than finger, focus on joint diameter.
- Wide band rings (over 4mm) should be half size larger.
- No universal standard for ring sizing. Use and double-check measurements with jeweler.
The easiest and most reliable way to determine finger size is by using a ring sizer, a tool specifically designed for jewelers. It consists of a set of ring templates in various sizes, from small to large.
To measure your size, visit a jewelry workshop or store, try on several templates, and choose the most comfortable fit. Remember that the ring template should neither be too loose nor too tight on your finger.
If you have a ring that fits you comfortably, you can measure its inner diameter using a ruler or caliper. Simply place the ruler against the ring and measure the inner diameter of the band.
Use the obtained value for further calculations (use size conversion chart).
