Find Your Ring Size

Whether you plan to surprise your spouse with a ring or you plan to buy yourself a ring online, the most precise way to know a ring size is to have a jeweler measure it. It is however possible to learn your ring size without having to go to the jeweler with the following method.

Finding Your Ring Size Using Paper or String

1. Cut a strip of paper or a piece of string. The paper strip should be approximately 1/2″ wide, and 5″ long.

2. Wrap the paper or string around the finger to be sized. Slide the paper or string up to the knuckle, as the ring must be sized large enough to able to slip off and on, over the knuckle.

3. Use a pen to mark the string or paper where the long end overlaps.

4. Measure the mark from the end of the length of paper or string with a ruler. Use the metric side for more accurate sizing.

5. Find your ring size by locating your measurement on the chart below. If the measurement falls in between two sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger

Notes to bear in mind

The size of the finger changes slightly with changes in temperature, physical exercise, weight changes as well as medication.
