How to Measure Your Ring Size
Buying a ring online is a fun and time-saving experience, but you need to be confident that your new ring will fit you. So here is a step-by-step guide on how to measure your ring size.
Read this before you measure:
- Measure at room temperature (cold fingers shrink, heat swells).
- Don’t measure right after the sports training or hot shower.
-
If you’re between sizes:
- Choose up for wide bands
- Choose based on comfort if you prefer a tighter or looser fit
Method 1: Measure a ring that already fits
- Pick a ring that fits comfortably (not tight, not loose).
- Place it on a flat surface.
- Measure the inside diameter straight across the center (inner edge to inner edge).
- Match the diameter to a ring size chart below.
Important: Don’t measure the outside of the ring. Only the inner circle counts.

Method 2: Use a string to measure the ring size
- Cut a strip long enough to wrap around your finger.
- Wrap it around the finger where the ring will sit.
- Mark where the strip overlaps to form a full circle.
- Lay the strip flat and measure the distance between marks.
- Use a ring size chart below to convert circumference to size.
