The Ring Diameter Method:
Measure a ring you already own

- Use the "Ring Diameter (mm)" column in our ring size chart to find your corresponding ring size.
It’s that simple!
The Finger Circumference Method
At-home DIY solutions
You can easily measure your finger at home using simple household items like a thin string, dental floss, or a strip of paper, along with a pen and a ruler or measuring tape.
- Wrap the string, floss, or paper snugly around the finger you want to size.
- Mark where the ends meet with a pen.
- Straighten the string, floss, or paper and measure its length in millimeters.
- Use a ring size chart to match your measurement to the correct size in the "Finger Circumference (mm)" column.
It’s a quick and easy way to find your perfect ring size!
Tips for Measuring Your Ring Size
-
Measure at the Right Time: Avoid measuring your fingers when they’re swollen (after exercise, alcohol, or in hot weather) or shrunken (in cold weather). Aim for "normal" finger size.
-
Consider Your Knuckles: If you have larger knuckles, choose a size that slides over them comfortably without being too loose on your finger.
-
Account for Hand Differences: Your left and right hand can have different ring sizes, so always measure the specific hand and finger for your ring.
-
Seasonal Changes: Fingers may swell slightly in warmer months or during pregnancy, so keep this in mind when selecting your size.
-
A Perfect Fit: Your ring should slip on easily but feel snug and slightly resist removal—just right for comfort and security!
These tips will help ensure your ring fits perfectly, whatever the occasion!
