Option 2: Measure an Existing Ring (the best)
If you already have a ring that fits the right finger, you can use it to find your size. This is the best method
What you’ll need:
- A ruler (millimeters)
- A ring that fits perfectly
Steps:
- Place the ring on a flat surface.
- Measure the inside diameter of the ring (not the outer edge).
- Use the chart below to match the diameter to a ring size.

Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest.
- Make sure your hands are warm (cold fingers shrink slightly).
- Don’t pull the paper or string too tight—it should fit snugly, not tightly.
- Measure the exact finger where the ring will go, as sizes can differ between fingers and hands.
