How to measure your ring size?

20 January 2022

Measuring your ring size is as important as finding the beautiful and perfect design of the ring. Whether you are ordering online, or planning to surprise your loved one with a beautiful ring, knowing the size is very crucial. Otherwise, a beautiful ring with an unfit size won’t be of any use to you. Therefore, choose the ring that fits your finger comfortably. And for that, you need to know your ring size. So, here is an easy guide for you to measure your ring size at home.

Get help from a ring sizer:

This is one of the most efficient ways to measure your ring size. You can find ring sizer easily on any online marketplace. A ring sizer is a thin measuring tape lined with a scale of numbers (and half numbers). All you have to do is to adjust it on your finger and decide what measurement fits your finger the best and comfortably.

Measure a ring you already have:

If you don’t have a ring sizer, want to shop online, and don’t know your size, this method is easy to do and very quick. Take a ring that fits perfectly on your finger and a ruler. Place the ring on the ruler and measure the inside diameter of the ring from edge to edge. And after that, take the diameter measurement in millimeters, and voila you have just discovered your ring size with just two things. This is an easy method when you can’t or don’t know how to measure your finger with a ruler.

Use a tape measure to know your perfect ring size:

If you don’t have a ring sizer or can’t either understand how the ruler measurement works, then you can use a tape measure to determine your ring size. A measuring tape will be the best and most accurate method to know your ring size. Take a tape measure and place it over your finger, and then pull it around into a circle and move it across your knuckles, and make sure it fits comfortably. Convert the measurements in millimeters and check your size on the measurement chart.

What is the average ring size for a woman?

The average ring size of a woman is 6 or 6.5. But if your girl or you are skinny or petite then your ring size may fall between 4 to 5.5. The ring size depends on your physique. If you are small and skinny then your size will be between 4 to 5.5, and if you have average height and slim build, then your ring size will fall between 5.5 to 7.
And for the chubby ones, their ring size will be around size 7 to 9. But as mentioned before, you must measure your finger to determine what ring size will fit you. Sometimes skinny women have wide knuckles and their ring size is not between 4 to 5.5. So, it’s always better to know your ring size before making any purchase.

More ring sizing tips:

If your measurement results in between two sizes, then choose the largest size always.
Weather conditions can affect the size of your finger. Measure your finger size at the end of the day. Do not measure your finger when it is too hot or too cold or when your fingers are swollen.
Don’t place the measuring tape or ring sizer too tightly around your finger.
Don’t measure only once. Measure your finger 2 to 3 times to get an accurate result.
You can feel uncomfortable when wearing a ring if your knuckle is bigger. If your knuckle is wider than the base of your finger, then measure both your knuckles and the base of the finger. After knowing the measurement of both, choose the size in between the two measurements, and that will fit easily on your finger.
