In a hurry?

Try using a few simple household tools to determine a best estimate at home.

These steps will help you find the correct ring size for your finger. Please remember that this is a best fit estimate. You are going to need a few simple household items before you begin:

The hand of the ring recipient
A pair of scissors
A strip of paper 1/4 inch wide (can be substituted for 1/8 wide piece of string)
A pen or thin tipped marker
A ruler or tape measure

STEP 1

First you will need to inspect the had that will be wearing your new ring. You are looking for the widest part of the finger. This will usually be the knuckle, however, it may be in a number of spots on different hands. You can use an old ring to check for this.

Inspect the finger intended to wear your new ring for the largest part.

STEP 2

Next, you will need a strip of paper about 1/4 of an inch wide and long enough to wrap around your finger 1 and 1/2 times. You may substitute the strip of paper for a 1/8 inch wide string.

Your strip of paper should look like this.

STEP 3

Now you need to wrap the strip of paper, or string, around your finger. When you have it wrapped all the way around, you will need to make a mark for measuring.

STEP 4

The last step is to check for our size on the chart. Measure from the end of your paper/string to the mark you made. Next, click here to see the Chart. You now have your approximate ring size.

Knowing that you're a size 6 or 7 according to a ring sizer does not tell the whole story. A wide ring should be ordered in a slightly larger size because it covers more of your finger. Also, keep in mind that knuckles have a tendency to become enlarged over the years. You want a ring that's comfortable to wear but that can be taken off without too much difficulty.

You should measure your ring finger at the end of the day when your finger is likely to be at its largest. Don't measure when your hands are cold or the ring might be too small in the summertime. These are the same commonsense rules you apply when you buy a pair of shoes. The best time to buy shoes is at the end of the day when your feet are a bit swollen, otherwise, the shoes might be a little snug.
