SIMPLE RING MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
MEASURE RING SIZE WITH A STRING

1. Cut a string about 6 inches long
2. Wrap the string above the base of the finger it will be worn on
3. Mark where the string overlaps with the marker
4. Place the string on a ruler
5. The mm number closest to the mark on the string is the circumference of the ring size in millimeters
MEASURE RING SIZE WITH ANOTHER RING

RING SIZING TIPS
Finger sizes change depending on the time of day and the weather. Fingers are smaller in the early morning and winter, so it is best to measure mid to late day in a warm setting. It doesn’t hurt to check the size in a few different settings!
Benefit three
The fingers of the wearer’s dominant hand are usually larger than their non-dominant hand. Be sure to measure the hand that the ring will be worn on.
If the wearer’s knuckle is wider than the base of their finger, measure their knuckle as well as the base of their finger and pick a size in between those measurements.
Benefit four
The ring should feel snug enough that it will not fall off the finger and loose enough that it can still side over the knuckle with a bit of resistance.
