How To Measure Your Ring Size Using String
One of the easiest ways to measure your ring size at home is with a piece of string or a thin strip of paper.
Step 1
Wrap the string around the finger you plan to wear the ring on.
Step 2
Mark the point where the string overlaps.
Step 3
Lay the string flat and measure the length in millimetres using a ruler.
Step 4
Compare your measurement to a ring size chart or visit a local jeweller for confirmation if you're between sizes.
How To Measure Using An Existing Ring
If you already own a ring that fits comfortably:
Step 1
Place the ring on a ruler.
Step 2
Measure the inside diameter of the ring from one inner edge to the opposite inner edge.
Step 3
Compare the measurement to a ring sizing chart.
This method is often more accurate than using string.
Tips For Finding The Right Ring Size
Measure At The End Of The Day
Your fingers naturally expand throughout the day. Measuring in the evening usually provides the most accurate result.
Avoid Measuring Cold Fingers
Cold temperatures can temporarily reduce finger size and lead to an incorrect measurement.
Consider Ring Width
Wider rings generally fit more snugly than thinner rings. If you're purchasing a wide band or heavily iced ring, you may prefer a slightly looser fit.
If You're Between Sizes
We generally recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't know my ring size?
Use the string method above or measure an existing ring that fits comfortably.
Can ring size change?
Yes. Temperature, hydration and natural changes in your body can affect finger size throughout the day.
Should a ring spin on my finger?
A ring should slide on comfortably and remove with slight resistance. Minor movement is normal, but it should not spin excessively.
What should I do if I'm between sizes?
In most cases, choosing the larger size provides a more comfortable fit.
Our Recommendation
For the most accurate fit, we recommend measuring an existing ring that you wear comfortably. This method is usually more reliable than estimating based on finger measurements alone.
