Finding the perfect ring is a moment of joy. But choosing the right size? That can feel like a puzzle. Here’s how to make sure your ring fits like it was made just for you.
1. Measure at the Right Time of Day
Your fingers change throughout the day.
- Measure in the evening, when they’re slightly larger.
- Avoid measuring when your hands are cold — fingers shrink!
2. Use a Ring You Already Own
Find a ring that fits the intended finger comfortably.
- Measure the inner diameter in millimeters.
- Compare it to a ring size chart — most brands offer one.
3. Try the String or Paper Method
Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around your finger:
- Mark where it overlaps.
- Measure the length in millimeters.
- Use a sizing chart to find your match.
Tip: The ring should slide on easily but resist slightly when coming off.
4. Consider the Ring Style
- Thin bands feel looser — you might size down.
- Wide bands feel tighter — consider sizing up.
- Stacking rings? Choose sizes that allow movement without slipping.
