How to Measure Ring Size at Home
Measuring your ring size at home is simple and can be done using common household items. Keep in mind that the most accurate way to get a ring size is by having it checked with a jeweller. You can find one near you and measure for free, but if not possible, follow these steps to determine your ring size:
Materials Needed
- A piece of non-stretchy string or a strip of paper- A ruler or measuring tape
- A pen or marker
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Take a piece of string or a strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your finger. Ensure it is snug but not too tight.2. Use a pen or marker to mark the point where the string or paper overlaps, forming a complete circle around your finger.
3. Lay the string or paper flat and measure the distance from the start to the marked point using a ruler or measuring tape. Record this measurement in mm.
4. For the most accurate result, repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure consistency.
5. With your measurements, go to our size chart below and find your size.
Tips for Accurate Measurement
- Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest.- Ensure your hands are warm to avoid a smaller measurement caused by cold fingers.
- Avoid measuring your finger when it is swollen due to heat or after exercising.
