Determining Your Ring Size Made Simple

Determining Your Ring Size Made Simple

Getting the right ring size can make online ring shopping stress-free.

Use this guide to find the perfect fit and enjoy your new ring comfortably.

But let's get into it!


How to Measure Your Finger

1. Use Accurate Tools

  • Mandrel: Measure an existing ring using a mandrel.
  • Sizing Rings: Use a set of sizing rings for precise measurements.
  • Tape Rings: Use tape rings, that you can buy here or on Amazon or eBay.

When you measure your ring or finger yourself using these accessories, please remember:

  • Temperature Matters: Measure your finger when it's at a neutral temperature, not in the cold or extreme heat, as fingers can expand or shrink. Consider the typical climate where you live.
  • Time of Day: Measure your finger in the morning and evening to account for daily size fluctuations.
  • Some of our rings come with elastic bands that stretch up to 3 mm, offering a bit of flexibility. If you have strongly fluctuating fingers in size, you can always ask to make a specific ring on an elastic band for you.

2. Go to your local jeweller/jewellery shop:

  • Most jewellery shops offer free finger measurements.
  • You can also visit me at the market, where I provide free sizing services using professional tools.

    Sizing Tip: Should You Size Up or Down?

    When unsure, go for a slightly larger size. Your finger size can change due to temperature, hormones, or daily activities.

    For rings, the size should allow it to pass over your knuckle comfortably while fitting snugly at the base.


    Homemade Methods: Proceed with Caution

    Using a string or paper strip to measure your finger is popular but unreliable. Elastic bands may tolerate slight inaccuracies, but for other rings, professional tools are best.

    If you still want to try:

    1. Cut a strip of paper.
    2. Wrap it around the base of your finger.
    3. Mark where the paper overlaps.
    4. Measure the length with a ruler.

    Avoid using string as it can stretch, leading to inaccurate results.
