How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

✨ Option 1: Use a Ring You Already Own

  1. Choose a ring that fits the intended finger.
  2. Measure the inside diameter of the ring with a ruler (in millimeters).
  3. Compare the measurement to a standard ring size chart (for example: 16.5 mm = US size 6).

✨ Option 2: String or Paper Strip Method

  1. Cut a thin strip of paper (about 5 6 mm wide) or use a piece of string.
  2. Wrap it snugly (but not tightly) around the base of your finger.
  3. Mark where it overlaps, then measure the length in millimeters.
  4. Match the circumference to a ring size chart.

✨ Tips for the Best Fit

  • Measure your finger at the end of the day, when it’s largest.
  • Avoid measuring when your hands are very cold or hot.
  • If you’re between sizes, go with the larger size for comfort.
  • Wider bands can feel tighter consider sizing up 1/4 1/2 size.

 

If you’d like, tell me how you measured (inside of a ring you already own or the string/paper method), just send me the exact measurement in millimeters, and I’ll confirm the correct size for you.

Prefer something more accurate? I also offer plastic ring sizers in my shop - a reusable tool you can keep on hand for finding the perfect fit every time.
