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

  1. Pick a ring that fits comfortably (not tight, not loose).
  2. Place it on a flat surface.
  3. Measure the inside diameter straight across the center (inner edge to inner edge).
  4. 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

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