How to Find Your Perfect Ring Size at Home 

Shopping for rings online can be exciting, but nothing is more frustrating than receiving a ring that doesn’t fit! Whether you're treating yourself or buying a ring as a gift, knowing the correct ring size is essential. Fortunately, you don’t need to visit a jeweler to find your size—you can easily measure it at home. In this guide, we’ll walk you through different methods to accurately determine your ring size and provide helpful tips to ensure the perfect fit.

 

 

Why Ring Size Matters

A well-fitting ring should slide on smoothly but offer slight resistance when being removed. If it’s too tight, it’ll be uncomfortable; too loose, and you risk losing it. Since finger size can fluctuate due to temperature, hydration, and time of day, measuring correctly is key.

 

 

How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

1. Use a Ring You Already Own

If you have a ring that fits the desired finger perfectly, you can use it to determine your size.

What You’ll Need:
A well-fitting ring
A ruler or measuring tape

How to Measure:

  1. Place the ring on a flat surface.

  2. Use a ruler to measure the inside diameter of the ring (the distance from one inner edge to the other, in millimeters).

  3. Compare your measurement to a ring size chart to find the corresponding size.

Ring Size Reference (Approximate Inner Diameter in mm):

  • Size 5: 15.7 mm

  • Size 6: 16.5 mm

  • Size 7: 17.3 mm

  • Size 8: 18.1 mm

  • Size 9: 18.9 mm

 

 

2. Use a String or Paper Strip

This is one of the easiest ways to measure your ring size if you don’t have an existing ring to reference.

What You’ll Need:
A piece of string, dental floss, or a thin strip of paper
A ruler
A pen or marker

How to Measure:

  1. Wrap the string or paper strip around the base of the desired finger (not too tight, but snug).

  2. Mark the point where the string overlaps.

  3. Lay the string flat and measure its length in millimeters.

  4. Use a ring size chart to find your corresponding size.

Ring Size Reference (Approximate Circumference in mm):

  • Size 5: 49.3 mm

  • Size 6: 51.9 mm

  • Size 7: 54.4 mm

  • Size 8: 57.0 mm

  • Size 9: 59.5 mm

✨ Pro Tip: If your measurement falls between sizes, go with the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
