How to find your ring size at home

You will need: 

  1. A ruler
  2. Piece of paper
  3. Scissors 
  4. Pen/pencil

Method:


You are going to measure the distance around your finger, and use that measurement to match your ring size on the chart below.


Step 1 (create a paper ring):

  • Cut out a piece of paper that is ¼ inch by 6 inches long.
    • Or 6mm by 150mm
    • It should look similar to this: 
                                                                

 

Step 2:

  • Wrap the paper snug around the finger you would like to wear your ring.

Step 3

  • Mark where the end of the paper overlaps around your finger.

Step 4:

  • Measure the end of the paper, to the mark you made. 
    • The measurement is the distance around your finger.

Step 5

  • Take this measurement and match it with the ring size in the same row, in the chart below.
  • If you are in between sizes, we offer ¼ sizes, or go up to the next closest size.
  • We sell US ring sizes.

  • Though it is never going to be 100% accurate, this is the best estimate to find your ring size at home. Other options include going to a jewelry shop and using ring sizers, or trying on different rings.
  • Pro tip: measure your finger when it is warm, not cold. (Cold fingers are smaller)
