How to Measure The Ring Size

1. Use Paper or String to Measure the Size of the Ring

• Wrap paper or string around your finger’s base.
• Use a pencil to mark where the ends of paper or string meet.
• Make a measurement of paper or string with a ruler.
• Use the chart below to find the estimated size of the ring according to your measurement.
• Remember that paper and string can twist and stretch influencing the accuracy of the measurement.

2. Use Another Ring to Make a Measurement

• Make a measurement of the inside diameter of the ring with a ruler.
• Use the chart below to find the estimated size of the ring according to your measurement.
• If the ring falls between two sizes, order the larger size.

For Better Results

• It is advised to use the second method (if possible), because paper or string can stretch influencing the accuracy of the measurement.
• Measure your finger at the end of the day and when your fingers are warm (fingers are smaller in the early morning and when cold)
• Measure your finger size 2 to 3 times to eliminate an erroneous reading. Avoid using string or paper to measure ring size as these materials can stretch or twist, yielding an inaccurate measurement.
