Ring sizes

If you do not know your ring size, it can be measured in several ways.

How to measure for a ring

Wrap a strip of paper around your finger at the knuckle and mark the point where the ends of the paper overlap with a pencil. Measure the distance between the marks in millimeters. Do not measure at the base of the finger near the palm, as the ring might be too tight to slide over your knuckle.

Measure the inner diameter of your ring to the nearest half-millimeter and multiply the result by 3.14 to get the ring’s circumference. You can also use this method to compare the sizes of narrow versus wide rings.

Measure the inner diameter of your ring and find the corresponding size in the chart. If the design features a wide band, it is advisable to order a ring half a size to a full size larger.

Manufacturers use special mandrels to measure rings, and these may vary slightly in diameter. If your exact size is not listed in the chart, feel free to order a ring half a size or a full size larger or smaller; this usually works fine.
