Ring Sizing
Measuring Your Finger
Measure your own ring to determine your ring size.
Take a well-fitting ring and measure the diameter of the inside of your ring. This is your ring size.
For example - Size Q corresponds with a diameter of 18 mm.
If you don’t have an existing ring you can measure, this simple technique will help you figure out your size:
- Wrap a strip of paper around your finger, just above the knuckle. Don’t do this too tightly, make sure the paper feels comfortable. You can also measure the base of the finger too, to make sure that the ring will fit. Aim for a piece of paper that’s about ¾ inch wide and 4 inches long.
- Carefully mark where the ends meet, then unwrap the paper.
- Measure from mark to mark on the paper to find your circumference (mm) and figure out the size from the chart below.
You can also use string for this measurement, but as string can be stretchy, we find paper more reliable.
Tips
- Do not measure your fingers when they are cold.
- It is also not convenient to measure your finger on a very hot day.
- If your knuckles are very large, it is best to choose a larger size.
- Measure your fingers at the end of the day.
- Please note the ring size of each hand can be different.
Buying a ring as a gift can be tricky because you may not know the correct ring size. You can find out the ring size in different ways.
- Ask your partner, friends or family of the person if they know the ring size.
- Borrow one of the rings of the person (the correct finger) and measure it as described above
