How to find your ring size at home

Jewelship Editorial

What you need

A strip of paper or a piece of non-stretchy thread, a pen and a ruler that shows millimetres.

Step by step

  1. Wrap the paper or thread around the base of the finger you will wear the ring on.
  2. Mark the point where the end meets the rest of the strip.
  3. Lay it flat and measure the length in millimetres. This is the circumference of your finger.
  4. Compare that measurement with the size guide on the product page.

Tips for a better measurement

  • Measure at the end of the day. Fingers are slightly larger in the evening and when warm.
  • Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as they shrink.
  • Measure two or three times and use the average.
  • If you are between sizes, or the ring has a wide band, choose the larger size. A wide band fits more snugly than a narrow one.

The knuckle test

A ring must pass over your knuckle and still sit securely at the base of the finger. If your knuckle is much larger than the base of your finger, choose a size that slides over the knuckle with slight resistance.
